How to Burn a Latin Square

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 33, Issue 8, Page 300-309, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We investigate the lazy burning process for Latin squares by studying their associated hypergraphs. In lazy burning, a set of vertices in a hypergraph is initially burned, and that burning spreads to neighboring vertices over time via a specified propagation rule.

Conformal Hypergraphs: Duality and Implications for the Upper Clique Transversal Problem

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 466-480, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Given a hypergraph ℋ, the dual hypergraph of ℋ is the hypergraph of all minimal transversals of ℋ. The dual hypergraph is always Sperner, that is, no hyperedge contains another. A special case of Sperner hypergraphs are the conformal Sperner hypergraphs, which correspond to the families of maximal cliques of graphs.

Packing Paths in Sparse Random Graphs

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We consider an algorithmic problem on the Erdős–Rényi random graph G∼G(n,p)$$ G\sim G\left(n,p\right) $$ with p=(1+ε)/n$$ p=\left(1+\varepsilon \right)/n $$ for some fixed constant ε>0$$ \varepsilon >0 $$. At the start of the algorithm, it is not disclosed which pairs of vertices are adjacent or not. In each step of the algorithm, we can query

Leaf Stripping on Uniform Attachment Trees

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT In this note, we analyze the performance of a simple root‐finding algorithm in uniform attachment trees. The leaf‐stripping algorithm recursively removes all leaves of the tree for a carefully chosen number of rounds. We show that, with probability 1−ε$$ 1-\varepsilon $$, the set of remaining vertices contains the root and has a size only ...

Tight Anti‐Concentration of Rademacher Sums

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We consider lower bounds on anti‐concentration probabilities of the form ℙ(|X|≥x)$$ \mathbb{P}\left(|X|\ge x\right) $$, where X=∑i=1naiεi$$ X={\sum}_{i=1}^n{a}_i{\varepsilon}_i $$ is a Rademacher sum; ai$$ {a}_i $$ are positive constants normalised so ∑i=1nai2=1$$ {\sum}_{i=1}^n{a}_i^2=1 $$, and εi$$ {\varepsilon}_i $$ are independent and ...

Reconfiguration of Independent Transversals

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Given integers Δ≥2$$ \Delta \ge 2 $$ and t≥2Δ$$ t\ge 2\Delta $$, consider a graph of maximum degree Δ$$ \Delta $$ and a partition of its vertices into blocks of size at least t$$ t $$. By a seminal result of Haxell, there is an independent set of the graph that is transversal to the blocks, a so‐called independent transversal. We show that, if

Sequentially Constrained Hamilton Cycles in Random Graphs

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We discuss the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph Gn,p$$ {G}_{n,p} $$ where there are restrictions caused by (i) coloring sequences, (ii) a subset of vertices must occur in a specific order, and (iii) there is a bound on the number of inversions in the associated permutation.

Structure of Lower Tails in Sparse Random Graphs

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 67, Issue 1, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We study the typical structure of a sparse Erdős–Rényi random graph conditioned on the lower tail subgraph count event. We show that in certain regimes, a typical graph sampled from the conditional distribution resembles the entropy minimizer of the mean field approximation in the sense of both subgraph counts and cut norm.
