A popular model to measure the stability of a network is k-core - the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has at least k neighbors. Many studies maximize the number of vertices in k-core to improve the stability of a network. In…
Weak coloring numbers generalize the notion of degeneracy of a graph. They were introduced by Kierstead \& Yang in the context of games on graphs. Recently, several connections have been uncovered between weak coloring numbers and various…
Bilateral agreement based random undirected graphs were introduced and analyzed by La and Kabkab in 2015. The construction of the graph with $n$ vertices in this model uses a (random) preference order on other $n-1$ vertices and each vertex…
We consider the distributed optimization problem for the sum of convex functions where the underlying communications network connecting agents at each time is drawn at random from a collection of directed graphs. Building on an earlier work…
Due to the increasing discovery and implementation of networks within all disciplines of life, the study of subgraph connectivity has become increasingly important. Motivated by the idea of community (or sub-graph) detection within a…
Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…
Quantum networks with bipartite resources and shared randomness present the simplest infrastructure for implementing a future quantum internet. Here, we shall investigate which kinds of entanglement can or cannot be generated from this kind…
For a wireless multi-tier heterogeneous network with orthogonal spectrum allocation across tiers, we optimize the association probability and the fraction of spectrum allocated to each tier so as to maximize rate coverage. In practice, the…
Tensor network contraction is a powerful computational tool in quantum many-body physics, quantum information and quantum chemistry. The complexity of contracting a tensor network is thought to mainly depend on its entanglement properties,…
It is known that there exists a multiple-unicast network which has a rate $1$ linear network coding solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field belongs to a given finite or co-finite set of primes. In this paper, we show…
Codes defined on graphs and their properties have been subjects of intense recent research. On the practical side, constructions for capacity-approaching codes are graphical. On the theoretical side, codes on graphs provide several…
Our work concerns algorithms for an unweighted variant of Maximum Flow. In the All-Pairs Connectivity (APC) problem, we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and are tasked with computing the maximum number of edge-disjoint…
A function computation problem in directed acyclic networks has been considered in the literature, where a sink node wants to compute a target function with the inputs generated at multiple source nodes. The network links are error-free but…
We show that the problem of finding a set with maximum cohesion in an undirected network is NP-hard.
We study the single pair capacitated network design problem and the budget constrained max flow problem on undirected series-parallel graphs. These problems were well studied on directed series-parallel graphs, but little is known in the…
We consider two covering variants of the network design problem. We are given a set of origin/destination pairs, called O/D pairs, and each such O/D pair is covered if there exists a path in the network from the origin to the destination…
The resilience of a complex interconnected system concerns the size of the macroscopic functioning node clusters after external perturbations based on a random or designed scheme. For a representation of the interconnected systems with…
In this paper, we propose a subnetwork decomposition/combination approach to investigate the single rate $2$-pair unicast problem. It is shown that the solvability of a $2$-pair unicast problem is completely determined by four specific link…
This work considers the problem of transmitting multiple compressible sources over a network at minimum cost. The aim is to find the optimal rates at which the sources should be compressed and the network flows using which they should be…
Network robustness is a measure a network's ability to survive adversarial attacks. But not all parts of a network are equal. K-cores, which are dense subgraphs, are known to capture some of the key properties of many real-life networks.…
