This paper presents a nested tracking framework for analyzing cycles in 2D force networks within granular materials. These materials are composed of interacting particles, whose interactions are described by a force network. Understanding…

Consider a configuration of pebbles distributed on the vertices of a connected graph of order $n$. A pebbling step consists of removing two pebbles from a given vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex. A distribution of pebbles…

A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we establish a local property of 1-planar graphs which describes the structure in the neighborhood of small…

We consider community detection from multiple correlated graphs sharing the same community structure. The correlated graphs are generated by independent subsampling of a parent graph sampled from the stochastic block model. The vertex…

A clustering algorithm partitions a set of data points into smaller sets (clusters) such that each subset is more tightly packed than the whole. Many approaches to clustering translate the vector data into a graph with edges reflecting a…

Finding dense substructures in a graph is a fundamental graph mining operation, with applications in bioinformatics, social networks, and visualization to name a few. Yet most standard formulations of this problem (like clique, quasiclique,…

Motivated by extracting and summarizing relevant information in short sentence settings, such as satisfaction questionnaires, hotel reviews, and X/Twitter, we study the problem of clustering words in a hierarchical fashion. In particular,…

Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph on $n$ vertices with no loops but possibly multiedges. Given an arithmetical structure $(\textbf{r}, \textbf{d})$ on $G$, we describe a construction which associates to it a graph $G'$ on $n-1$…

The weak minor G of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by a sequence of edge-contraction operations on G. A weak-minor-closed family of upper embeddable graphs is a set G of upper embeddable graphs that for each graph G in G, every weak…

In this paper we develop three characterizations for isomorphism of graphs. The first characterization is obtained by associating certain bitableaux with the graphs. We order these bitableaux by suitably defined lexicographic order and…

Complex networks have become the main paradigm for modelling the dynamics of interacting systems. However, networks are intrinsically limited to describing pairwise interactions, whereas real-world systems are often characterized by…

Considering higher-order interactions allows for a more comprehensive understanding of network structures beyond simple pairwise connections. While leveraging all cliques in a network to handle higher-order interactions is intuitive, it…

We define an algorithm k which takes a connected graph G on a totally ordered vertex set and returns an increasing tree R (which is not necessarily a subtree of G). We characterize the set of graphs G such that k(G)=R. Because this set has…

We study asymptotic percolation as $N\to \infty$ in an infinite random graph ${\cal G}_N$ embedded in the hierarchical group of order $N$, with connection probabilities depending on an ultrametric distance between vertices. ${\cal G}_N$ is…

The entities in directed networks arising from real-world interactions are often naturally organized under some hierarchical structure. Given a directed, weighted, graph with edges and node labels, we introduce ranking problem where the…

We study maximal cliques in the collinearity graphs of Desarguesian nets, give some structural results and some numerical information. In particular, we show for Desarguesian nets that the set consisting of a point $x$ together with all its…

We study the hierarchy of communities in real-world networks under a generic stochastic block model, in which the connection probabilities are structured in a binary tree. Under such model, a standard recursive bi-partitioning algorithm is…

We investigate random connected graphs from a block-stable class whose distribution is weighted based on the number of $2$-connected components, or blocks. This includes the class of planar graphs. For this, we develop a notion of a…

A graph is $1$-planar if it has a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once by another edge. Moreover, if this drawing has the additional property that for each crossing of two edges the end vertices of these edges…

A coalition in a graph $G$ with vertex set $V$ consists of two disjoint sets $V_1, V_2\subset V$ such that neither $V_1$ nor $V_2$ is a dominating set, but the union $V_1\cup V_2$ is a dominating set in $G$. A partition of graph vertices is…
