Let H be a finite family of graphs. A graph G is H-universal if it contains a copy of each H H as a subgraph. Let H(k, n) denote the family of graphs on n vertices with maximum d...

Jim Propp's rotor router model is a deterministic analogue of a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing chips randomly, each vertex serves its neighbors in a fixed or...

One of the main questions that arise when studying random and quasi-random structures is which properties P are such that any object that satisfies P "behaves" like a tr...

We consider the problem of minimizing average latency cost while obliviously routing traffic in a network with linear latency functions. This is roughly equivalent to minimizing t...
