Chung, F. R. K., Graham, R. L.

We describe a large equivalence class of properties shared by most hypergraphs, including so-called random hypergraphs. As a result, it follows that many global properties of hypergraphs are actually...

On irregularities of distribution of real sequences

Chung, F. R. K., Graham, R. L.

A natural measure of the amount of unavoidable clustering that must occur in any bounded infinite sequence of real numbers is studied. We determine the extreme value for this measure and exhibit...

Isometric embeddings of graphs

Graham, R. L., Winkler, P. M.

We prove that any finite undirected graph can be canonically embedded isometrically into a maximum cartesian product of irreducible factors.

Ramsey's Theorem for a Class of Categories

Graham, R. L., Leeb, K., Rothschild, B. L.

Ramsey's Theorem states that for a sufficiently large set S, and for any splitting of the k-element subsets of S into r classes, there is a subset T [unk] S, [unk]T[unk] = l, such that all k-element...

Quasi-random graphs

Chung, F. R. K., Graham, R. L., Wilson, R. M.

We introduce a large equivalence class of graph properties, all of which are shared by so-called random graphs. Unlike random graphs, however, it is often relatively easy to verify that a particular...
