Abstract

The pantograph differential equation and its solution, the deformed exponential function, are remarkable objects that appear in areas as diverse as combinatorics, number theory, statistical mechanics, and electrical engineering. In this article, we describe a new surprising application of these objects in graph theory, by showing that the set of all cliques is not forcing for quasirandomness. This provides a natural example of an infinite family of graphs, which is not forcing, and answers a natural question posed by P. Horn.
