A tight lower bound for Szemerédi's regularity lemma

Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma for Matrices and Sparse Graphs

Szemerédi’s Regularity Lemma is an important tool for analyzing the structure of dense graphs. There are versions of the Regularity Lemma for sparse graphs, but these only apply when the graph satisfies some local density condition. In this paper, we prove a sparse Regularity Lemma that holds for all graphs. More generally, we give a Regularity Lemma that holds for arbitrary real matrices.

Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma and Its Applications in Graph Theory

Bounds for graph regularity and removal lemmas

We show, for any positive integer k, that there exists a graph in which any equitable partition of its vertices into k parts has at least ck/ log∗ k pairs of parts which are not -regular, where c, > 0 are absolute constants. This bound is tight up to the constant c and addresses a question of Gowers on the number of irregular pairs in Szemerédi’s regularity lemma. In order to gain some control ...

Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma via Martingales

We prove a variant of the abstract probabilistic version of Szemerédi’s regularity lemma, due to Tao, which applies to a number of structures (including graphs, hypergraphs, hypercubes, graphons, and many more) and works for random variables in Lp for any p > 1. Our approach is based on martingale difference sequences.

Szemerédi's regularity lemma revisited

Szemerédi’s regularity lemma is a basic tool in graph theory, and also plays an important role in additive combinatorics, most notably in proving Szemerédi’s theorem on arithmetic progressions [19], [18]. In this note we revisit this lemma from the perspective of probability theory and information theory instead of graph theory, and observe a slightly stronger variant of this lemma, related to ...
