A note on the packing of two copies of some trees into their third power
AbstractIt is proved in [1] that if a tree T of order n is not a star, then there exists an edge-disjoint placement of two copies of this tree into its fourth power.In this paper, we prove the packing of some trees into their third power
Subdivision into i-packings and S-packing chromatic number of some lattices
An -packing in a graph is a set of vertices at pairwise distance
greater than . For a nondecreasing sequence of integers
, the -packing chromatic number of a graph is
the least integer such that there exists a coloring of into colors
where each set of vertices colored , , is an -packing.
This paper describes various subdivisions of an -packing into -packings
(j\textgreater{}i) for the hexagonal, square and triangular lattices. These
results allow us to bound the -packing chromatic number for these graphs,
with more precise bounds and exact values for sequences ,
Extremal Infinite Graph Theory
We survey various aspects of infinite extremal graph theory and prove several
new results. The lead role play the parameters connectivity and degree. This
includes the end degree. Many open problems are suggested.Comment: 41 pages, 16 figure
A bandwidth theorem for approximate decompositions
We provide a degree condition on a regular -vertex graph which ensures
the existence of a near optimal packing of any family of bounded
degree -vertex -chromatic separable graphs into . In general, this
degree condition is best possible.
Here a graph is separable if it has a sublinear separator whose removal
results in a set of components of sublinear size. Equivalently, the
separability condition can be replaced by that of having small bandwidth. Thus
our result can be viewed as a version of the bandwidth theorem of B\"ottcher,
Schacht and Taraz in the setting of approximate decompositions.
More precisely, let be the infimum over all
ensuring an approximate -decomposition of any sufficiently large regular
-vertex graph of degree at least . Now suppose that is an
-vertex graph which is close to -regular for some and suppose that is a sequence of bounded
degree -vertex -chromatic separable graphs with . We show that there is an edge-disjoint packing of
into .
If the are bipartite, then is sufficient. In
particular, this yields an approximate version of the tree packing conjecture
in the setting of regular host graphs of high degree. Similarly, our result
implies approximate versions of the Oberwolfach problem, the Alspach problem
and the existence of resolvable designs in the setting of regular host graphs
of high degree.Comment: Final version, to appear in the Proceedings of the London

A decorated tree approach to random permutations in substitution-closed classes
We establish a novel bijective encoding that represents permutations as
forests of decorated (or enriched) trees. This allows us to prove local
convergence of uniform random permutations from substitution-closed classes
satisfying a criticality constraint. It also enables us to reprove and
strengthen permuton limits for these classes in a new way, that uses a
semi-local version of Aldous' skeleton decomposition for size-constrained
Galton--Watson trees.Comment: New version including referee's corrections, accepted for publication
