We introduce the method of path-sums which is a tool for exactly evaluating a function of a discrete matrix with possibly non-commuting entries, based on the closed-form resummation of infinite families of terms in the corresponding Taylor…
We show that certain digraphs with the same vertex set but different arc sets have the same sum over the weights of all arborescences with a given root vertex. We relate our results to the Matrix-Tree Theorem and show how they provide a…
Let $G$ be a directed graph on finitely many vertices and edges, and assign a positive weight to each edge on $G$. Fix vertices $u$ and $v$ and consider the set of paths that start at $u$ and end at $v$, self-intersecting in any number of…
Leavitt path algebras associate to directed graphs a $\mathbb Z$-graded algebra and in their simplest form recover the Leavitt algebras $L(1,k)$. In this note, we first study this $\mathbb Z$-grading and characterize the ($\mathbb…
The walk matrix of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with adjacency matrix $A$, denoted by $W(G)$, is $[e,Ae,\ldots,A^{n-1}e]$, where $e$ is the all-ones vector. Let $G\circ P_m$ be the rooted product of $G$ and a rooted path $P_m$ (taking an…
This paper focuses on certain finite dimensional point derivations for the non-selfadjoint operator algebras corresponding to directed graphs. We begin by analyzing the derivations corresponding to full matrix representations of the tensor…
In this paper, we show how general determinants may be viewed as generating functions of nonintersecting lattice paths, using the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot interpretation of semistandard Young tableaux and the Jacobi-Trudi identity…
The observed output of an interferometer is the result of interference among the parts of the input light beam traveling along each possible optical path. In complex systems, writing down all these possible optical paths and computing their…
The aim of this paper is to present an algorithm which gives all the possible paths that start from a specific node to another of a weighted multi-graph. This algorithm is intended to be applied for the direct topological method.
Amiri and Wargalla (2020) proved the following local-to-global theorem in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs): if $G$ is a weighted DAG such that for each subset $S$ of 3 nodes there is a shortest path containing every node in $S$, then there…
A matrix-weighted graph is an undirected graph with a $k\times k$ positive semidefinite matrix assigned to each edge. There are natural generalizations of the Laplacian and adjacency matrices for such graphs. These matrices can be used to…
We revisit the concepts of acyclic orderings and number of acyclic orderings of acyclic digraphs in terms of dispositions and counters for arbitrary multidigraphs. We prove that when we add a sequence of nested directed paths to a directed…
An introduction to Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary directed graphs is presented, and direct limit techniques are developed, with which many results that had previously been proved for countable graphs can be extended to uncountable ones.…
Directed graphs naturally model systems with asymmetric, ordered relationships, essential to applications in biology, transportation, social networks, and visual understanding. Generating such graphs enables tasks such as simulation, data…
We introduce a new arc in directed graphs of integers. Among other things, we determine the positive integers that have arcs to all except a finite number of positive integers. We also propose some possible research problems at the end of…
We analyse the problem of singularity of graphs for hexagonal grid graphs. We introduce methods for transforming weighted graph, which do not change the determinant of adjacency matrix. We use these methods to calculate the determinant of…
We introduce a directed, weighted random graph model, where the edge-weights are independent and beta-distributed with parameters depending on their endpoints. We will show that the row- and column-sums of the transformed edge-weight matrix…
In this work, we classify the circuit binomials of any weighted oriented graph $D$ and we explicitly compute the circuit binomials of $D$ in terms of the minors of the incidence matrix of $D$. We show that the circuit binomials of any…
Deterministic variables are variables that are fully explained by one or more parent variables. They commonly arise when a variable has been algebraically constructed from one or more parent variables, as with composite variables, and in…
Trace diagrams are structured graphs with edges labeled by matrices. Each diagram has an interpretation as a particular multilinear function. We provide a rigorous combinatorial definition of these diagrams using a notion of signed graph…
