The study of limits of graphs led to elegant limit structures for sparse and dense graphs. This has been unified and generalized by the authors in a more general setting combining analytic tools and model theory to ${\rm FO}$-limits (and $X$-limits) and to the notion of modeling. The existence of modeling limits was established for sequences in a bounded degree class and, in addition, to the case of classes of trees with bounded height and of graphs with bounded tree depth. The natural obstacle for the existence of modeling limit for a monotone class of graphs is the nowhere dense property and it has been conjectured that this is a sufficient condition. Extending earlier results here we derive several general results which present a realistic approach to this conjecture. As an example we then prove that the class of all finite trees admits modeling limits.

Jackson [10] gave a polynomial sufficient condition for a bipartite tournament to contain a cycle of a given length. The question arises as to whether deciding on the maximum length of a cycle in a bipartite tournament is polynomial. The problem was considered by Manoussakis [12] in the slightly more general setting of 2-edge coloured complete graphs: is it polynomial to find a longest alternating cycle in such coloured graphs? In this paper, strong evidence is given that such an algorithm exists. In fact, using a reduction to the well known exact matching problem, we prove that the problem is random polynomial.

Abstract.We use finite model theory (in particular, the method of FM-truth definitions, introduced in [MM01] and developed in [K04], and a normal form result akin to those of [Ste93] and [G97]) to prove:Let m ≥ 2. Then:(A) If there exists k such that NP⊆ Σm TIME(nk)∩ Πm TIME(nk), then for every r there exists kr such that :(B) If there exists a superpolynomial time-constructible function f such that NTIME(f), then additionally .This strengthens a result by Mocas [M96] that for any r, .In addition, we use FM-truth definitions to give a simple sufficient condition for the arity hierarchy to be strict over finite models.

AbstractWe show that if is a holomorphic function in the Dirichlet space of the unit disk, then almost all of its randomizations are multipliers of that space. This parallels a known result for lacunary power series, which also has a version for smoothness classes: every lacunary Dirichlet series lies in the Lipschitz class Lip1/2 of functions obeying a Lipschitz condition with exponent 1/2. However, unlike the lacunary situation, no corresponding “almost sure” Lipschitz result is possible for random series: we exhibit a Dirichlet function with norandomization in Lip1/2. We complement this result with a “best possible” sufficient condition for randomizations to belong almost surely to Lip1/2. Versions of our results hold for weighted Dirichlet spaces, and much of our work is carried out in this more general setting.

AbstractThis paper deals with some asymptotic properties of nonoscillatory solutions of a class of n-th order (n < 1) differential equations with deviationg arguments involving the so called n-th order r-derivative of the unknown function x defined bywhere ri (i = 0,1…n) are positive continous functions on [t0, ∞). The fundamental purpose of this paper is to find for any integer m, 0 < m < n – 1, a necessary and sufficient condition (depending on m) in order that three exists at least one (nonoscillatory) solution x so that the exists in R – {0} The results obtained extend some recent ones due to Philos (1978a) and they prove, in a general setting, the validity of a conjecture made by Kusano and Onose (1975).

Abstract The bandwidth theorem of Böttcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Proof of the bandwidth conjecture of Bollobás andKomlós, Mathematische Annalen, 2009] gives a condition on the minimum degree of an n-vertex graph G that ensures G contains every r-chromatic graph H on n vertices of bounded degree and of bandwidth $o(n)$ , thereby proving a conjecture of Bollobás and Komlós [The Blow-up Lemma, Combinatorics, Probability, and Computing, 1999]. In this paper, we prove a version of the bandwidth theorem for locally dense graphs. Indeed, we prove that every locally dense n-vertex graph G with $\delta (G)> (1/2+o(1))n$ contains as a subgraph any given (spanning) H with bounded maximum degree and sublinear bandwidth.

For every predual \(X\) of \(\ell_1\) such that the standard basis in \(\ell_1\) is weak\(^*\) convergent, we give explicit models of all Banach spaces \(Y\) for which the Banach-Mazur distance \(d(X,Y)=1\). As a by-product of our considerations, we obtain some new results in metric fixed point theory. First, we show that the space \(\ell_1\), with a predual \(X\) as above, has the stable weak\(^*\) fixed point property if and only if it has almost stable weak\(^*\) fixed point property, i.e. the dual \(Y^*\) of every Banach space \(Y\) has the weak\(^*\) fixed point property (briefly, \(\sigma(Y^*,Y)\)-FPP) whenever \(d(X,Y)=1\). Then, we construct a predual \(X\) of \(\ell_1\) for which \(\ell_1\) lacks the stable \(\sigma(\ell_1,X)\)-FPP but it has almost stable \(\sigma(\ell_1,X)\)-FPP, which in turn is a strictly stronger property than the \(\sigma(\ell_1,X)\)-FPP. Finally, in the general setting of preduals of \(\ell_1\), we give a sufficient condition for almost stable weak\(^*\) fixed point property in \(\ell_1\) and we prove that for a wide class of spaces this condition is also necessary.

AbstractUsing methods from computable analysis, we establish a new connection between two seemingly distant areas of logic: computable structure theory and invariant descriptive set theory. We extend several fundamental results of computable structure theory to the more general setting of topological group actions. As we will see, the usual action of ${S_\infty }$ on the space of structures in a given language is effective in a certain algorithmic sense that we need, and ${S_\infty }$ itself carries a natural computability structure (to be defined). Among other results, we give a sufficient condition for an orbit under effective ${\cal G}$-action of a computable Polish ${\cal G}$ to split into infinitely many disjoint effective orbits. Our results are not only more general than the respective results in computable structure theory, but they also tend to have proofs different from (and sometimes simpler than) the previously known proofs of the respective prototype results.

AbstractWe pose a “moment problem” in a more general setting than the classical one. Then we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence to have a solution of the “problem“where σ is a “distribution function”.

AbstractThe theory of graph limits is only understood to a somewhat satisfactory degree in the cases of dense graphs and of bounded degree graphs. There is, however, a lot of interest in the intermediate cases. It appears that one of the most important constituents of graph limits in the general case will be Markov spaces (Markov chains on measurable spaces with a stationary distribution). This motivates our goal to extend some important theorems from finite graphs to Markov spaces or, more generally, to measurable spaces. In this paper, we show that much of flow theory, one of the most important areas in graph theory, can be extended to measurable spaces. Surprisingly, even the Markov space structure is not fully needed to get these results: all we need a standard Borel space with a measure on its square (generalizing the finite node set and the counting measure on the edge set). Our results may be considered as extensions of flow theory for directed graphs to the measurable case.

A remarkable result of Friedman and Pippenger gives a sufficient condition on the expansion properties of a graph to contain all small trees with bounded maximum degree. Haxell showed that under slightly stronger assumptions on the expansion rate, their technique allows one to find arbitrarily large trees with bounded maximum degree. Using a slightly weaker version of Haxell's result we prove that a certain family of expanding graphs, which includes very sparse random graphs and regular graphs with large enough spectral gap, contains all almost spanning bounded degree trees. This improves two recent tree-embedding results of Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov.
