Abstract

Asymptotic expansions of Gaussian integrals may often be interpreted as generating functions for certain combinatorial objects (graphs with additional data). In this article we discuss a general approach to all such cases using colored graphs. We prove that the generating power series for such graphs satisfy the same system of partial differential equations as the Gaussian integral and the formal power series solution of this system is unique. The solution is obtained as the genus expansion of the generating power series. The initial term of this expansion is the corresponding generating function for trees. The consequence equations for this term turns to be equivalent to the inversion problem for the gradient mapping defined by the initial condition. The equations for the higher terms of the genus expansion are linear. The solutions of these equations can be expressed explicitly by substitution of the initial conditions and the initial term (the tree expansion) into some universal polynomials (for g>1) which are generating functions for stable closed graphs. (For g=1 instead of polynomials appears logarithm.) The stable graph polynomials satisfy certain recurrence. In [1] some of these results were obtained for the one dimensional case by more or less direct solution of differential equations. Here we present purely combinatorial proofs.

Adjunctions, Box Products, and Forcing Families

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. For bipartite graphs containing a cycle, the forcing conjecture further asserts that asymptotic equality characterizes quasi-random graphs. We establish an adjoint identity for a general class of graph-substitution operators and use it to obtain Sidorenko and forcing results for balanced blow-ups, subdivisions, Cartesian products, and strong products.

On the Cost Number of Graphs with Determining Number Two

A distinguishing vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is a vertex coloring such that only the identity automorphism of $G$ preserves the coloring. A graph is $2$-distinguishable if it admits a distinguishing vertex coloring with two colors, and its cost $ρ(G)$ is the minimum size of a color class in such a coloring. The determining number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Det(G)$, is the minimum size of a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that only the trivial automorphism fixes every element of $S$ pointwise. Boutin (J. Combin. Math. Combin. Comput. 85: 161-171, 2013) asked if $ρ(G)$ and $Det(G)$ can be arbitrarily far apart. While the case for $Det(G) = 1$ is trivial, the answer remained unknown for $Det(G) \ge 2$. In this manuscript, we show that if $Det(G)=2$ then not only is $ρ(G)$ bounded, but in fact $ρ(G) \leq 4$. This is the first resolution of Boutin's question for any nontrivial fixed determining number. Moreover, for every fixed $Det(G)= n$, we construct examples giving a lower bound on any possible upper bound for $ρ(G)$ in terms of $n$.
