The importance of studying properties of networks is manifest in diverse fields ranging from biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, neuroscience, and medicine. The functionality of networks with regard to performance, throughput,…
We present a simple mechanism, which can be randomised, for constructing sparse $3$-uniform hypergraphs with strong expansion properties. These hypergraphs are constructed using Cayley graphs over $\mathbb{Z}_2^t$ and have vertex degree…
Let I be a toric ideal. We say I is robust if its universal Groebner basis is a minimal generating set. We show that any robust toric ideal arising from a graph G is also minimally generated by its Graver basis. We then completely…
Hypergraphs are structures that can be decomposed or described; in other words they are recursively countable. Here, we get exact and asymptotic enumeration results on hypergraphs by means of exponential generating functions. The number of…
The main paradigm of smoothed analysis on graphs suggests that for any large graph $G$ in a certain class of graphs, perturbing slightly the edges of $G$ at random (usually adding few random edges to $G$) typically results in a graph having…
Given an undirected $n$-node unweighted graph $G = (V, E)$, a spanner with stretch function $f(\cdot)$ is a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ such that, if two nodes are at distance $d$ in $G$, then they are at distance at most $f(d)$ in $H$.…
The pivotal quality of proximity graphs is connectivity, i.e. all nodes in the graph are connected to one another either directly or via intermediate nodes. These types of graphs are robust, i.e., they are able to function well even if they…
Fault tolerant distance preservers (spanners) are sparse subgraphs that preserve (approximate) distances between given pairs of vertices under edge or vertex failures. So-far, these structures have been studied mainly from a centralized…
To any inhibition-dominated threshold-linear network (TLN) we can associate a directed graph that captures the pattern of strong and weak inhibition between neurons. Robust motifs are graphs for which the structure of fixed points in the…
Deep networks have recently been shown to be vulnerable to universal perturbations: there exist very small image-agnostic perturbations that cause most natural images to be misclassified by such classifiers. In this paper, we propose the…
We study the robustness of complex networks subject to edge removal. Several network models and removing strategies are simulated. Rather than the existence of the giant component, we use total connectedness as the criterion of breakdown.…
This paper addresses the problem of constructing bearing rigid networks in arbitrary dimensions. We first show that the bearing rigidity of a network is a generic property that is critically determined by the underlying graph of the…
We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…
This tutorial review provides a guiding reference to researchers who want to have an overview of the large body of literature about graph spanners. It reviews the current literature covering various research streams about graph spanners,…
Edge expansion is a parameter indicating how well-connected a graph is. It is useful for designing robust networks, analysing random walks or information flow through a network and is an important notion in theoretical computer science.…
Random geometric graphs result from taking $n$ uniformly distributed points in the unit cube, $[0,1]^d$, and connecting two points if their Euclidean distance is at most $r$, for some prescribed $r$. We show that monotone properties for…
Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructible if they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured…
We study structural conditions in dense graphs that guarantee the existence of vertex-spanning substructures such as Hamilton cycles. It is easy to see that every Hamiltonian graph is connected, has a perfect fractional matching and,…
A framework is a graph and a map from its vertices to R^d. A framework is called universally rigid if there is no other framework with the same graph and edge lengths in R^d' for any d'. A framework attachment is a framework constructed by…
A \emph{$\nu$-reliable spanner} of a metric space $(X,d)$, is a (dominating) graph $H$, such that for any possible failure set $B\subseteq X$, there is a set $B^+$ just slightly larger $|B^+|\le(1+\nu)\cdot|B|$, and all distances between…
