The degree-degree correlation is crucial in understanding the structural properties of and dynamics occurring upon network, and is often measured by the assortativity coefficient $r$. In this paper, we first study this measure in detail and…

We study the problem of distance-preserving graph compression for weighted paths and trees. The problem entails a weighted graph $G = (V, E)$ with non-negative weights, and a subset of edges $E^{\prime} \subset E$ which needs to be removed…

Inspired by artistic practices such as beadwork and himmeli, we study the problem of threading a single string through a set of tubes, so that pulling the string forms a desired graph. More precisely, given a connected graph (where edges…

We consider the probability that a spanning tree chosen uniformly at random from a graph can be partitioned into a fixed number $k$ of trees of equal size by removing $k-1$ edges. In that case, the spanning tree is called {\em splittable}.…

The Spanning Tree Congestion (STC) problem is the following NP-hard problem: given a graph $G$, construct a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ minimizing its maximum edge congestion where the congestion of an edge $e\in T$ is the number of edges $uv$…

Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Two algorithms are described for generating a stationary random graph, with vertex set $\mathbb{Z}$, so that the degrees of the vertices are i.i.d.\ random…

A new network evolution model is introduced in this paper. The model is based on co-operations of $N$ units. The units are the nodes of the network and the co-operations are indicated by directed links. At each evolution step $N$ units…

Consider a setting where possibly sensitive information sent over a path in a network is visible to every {neighbor} of the path, i.e., every neighbor of some node on the path, thus including the nodes on the path itself. The exposure of a…

We examine the adjacency spectrum of trees with diameter three, also referred to as double stars. Using $P_2(a,b)$ to denote a double star with $ a$ and $b$ leaves at its respective endpoints, we discuss graphs which are cospectral to…

The Steiner distance of a set of vertices in a graph is the fewest number of edges in any connected subgraph containing those vertices. The order-$k$ Steiner distance hypermatrix of an $n$-vertex graph is the $n \times \cdots \times n$ ($k$…

Let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ respectively denote the metric dimension and the distinguishing number of a graph $G$. It is proved that $D(G) \le {\rm dim}(G)+1$ holds for every connected graph $G$. Among trees, exactly paths and stars…

Graham and Pollak showed that the determinant of the distance matrix of a tree $T$ depends only on the number of vertices of $T$. Graphical distance, a function of pairs of vertices, can be generalized to ``Steiner distance'' of sets $S$ of…

Measuring the distances between vertices on graphs is one of the most fundamental components in network analysis. Since finding shortest paths requires traversing the graph, it is challenging to obtain distance information on large graphs…
