We present a unified general method for the asymptotic study of graphs from the so-called subcritical graph classes, which include the classes of cacti graphs, outerplanar graphs, and series-parallel graphs. This general method works in both the labelled and unlabelled framework. The main results concern the asymptotic enumeration and the limit laws of properties of random graphs chosen from subcritical classes. We show that the number $g_n/n!$ (resp., $g_n$) of labelled (resp., unlabelled…

### Scaling Limits of Random Graphs from Subcritical Classes

• Mathematics
• 2014
We study the uniform random graph $\mathsf{C}_n$ with $n$ vertices drawn from a subcritical class of connected graphs. Our main result is that the rescaled graph $\mathsf{C}_n / \sqrt{n}$ converges

### Asymptotic Properties of Some Minor-Closed Classes of Graphs

• Mathematics
Combinatorics, Probability and Computing
• 2014
Using exact enumeration, a collection of classes excluding non-2-connected minors are studied, and it is shown that their asymptotic behaviour may be rather different from the 2-connected case.

### Asymptotic Enumeration and Limit Laws for Multisets: the Subexponential Case

• Mathematics
• 2020
For a given combinatorial class $\mathcal{C}$ we study the class $\mathcal{G} = \mathrm{MSET}(\mathcal{C})$ satisfying the multiset construction, that is, any object in $\mathcal{G}$ is uniquely

### Enumeration of labelled 4-regular planar graphs II: asymptotics

• Mathematics
• 2020
This work is a follow-up of the article [Proc. London Math. Soc. 119(2):358–378, 2019], where the authors solved the problem of counting labelled 4-regular planar graphs. In this paper, we obtain a

### Asymptotic Properties of Random Unlabelled Block-Weighted Graphs

We study the asymptotic shape of random unlabelled graphs subject to certain subcriticality conditions. The graphs are sampled with probability proportional to a product of Boltzmann weights assigned

### Limits of random tree-like discrete structures

The Benjamini--Schramm convergence of random $k$-dimensional trees is proved, and a central limit theorem for the size of the largest $2$-connected component in random graphs from planar-like classes is recover in a probabilistic way.

### An Exact Enumeration of Distance-Hereditary Graphs

• Mathematics
ANALCO
• 2017
The power of revisiting graph decomposition results through the framework of analytic combinatorics is illustrated, which allows to show that the number of distance-hereditary graphs on $n$ vertices is tightly bounded by ${(7.24975\ldots)^n}$---opening the perspective such graphs could be encoded on $3n$ bits.

### Graph enumeration and random graphs

In this thesis we use analytic combinatorics to deal with two related problems: graph enumeration and random graphs from constrained classes of graphs. We are interested in drawing a general picture

### Random Graphs from a Weighted Minor-Closed Class

It is found that earlier results extend naturally in both directions, to general well-behaved classes of graphs, and to the weighted framework, for example results concerning the probability of a random graph being connected; and the 2-core which are new even for the uniform (unweighted) case.

### Limits of subcritical random graphs and random graphs with excluded minors

• Mathematics
• 2015
We prove local convergence results for the uniformly random, labelled or unlabelled, graphs from subcritical families. As an example special case, we prove Benjamini-Schramm convergence for the

Using classical cycle index enumeration with recent results from analytic combinatorics, several statistical properties of random unlabeled outerplanar graphs on n vertices are investigated, for instance concerning connectedness, the chromatic number, and the number of edges.

This article translates Tutte's decomposition into a general grammar expressing any family of graphs in terms of the subfamily of graphs that are 3-connected, and recovers in a purely combinatorial way the analytic expression found by Gimenez and Noy for the series counting labelled planar graphs.
