Pairwise Markov Random Fields (MRFs) or undirected graphical models are parsimonious representations of joint probability distributions. Variables correspond to nodes of a graph, with edges between nodes corresponding to conditional…

Kirchhoff's matrix tree theorem is a well-known result that gives a formula for the number of spanning trees in a finite, connected graph in terms of the graph Laplacian matrix. A closely related result is Wilson's algorithm for putting the…

We study Turing bifurcations on one-dimensional random ring networks where the probability of a connection between two nodes depends on the distance between the two nodes. Our approach uses the theory of graphons to approximate the graph…

It is not until recently that graph neural networks (GNNs) are adopted to perform graph representation learning, among which, those based on the aggregation of features within the neighborhood of a node achieved great success. However,…

We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…

The main goal of this article is to understand how the length spectrum of a random surface depends on its genus. Here a random surface means a surface obtained by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles carrying a fixed metric.…

In this paper, we study the connectivity of a one-dimensional soft random geometric graph (RGG). The graph is generated by placing points at random on a bounded line segment and connecting pairs of points with a probability that depends on…

Exact eigendecomposition of large matrices is very expensive, and it is practically impossible to compute exact eigenvalues. Instead, one may set a more modest goal of approaching the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues, recovering…

We present a new method for learning Soft Random Geometric Graphs (SRGGs), drawn in probabilistic metric spaces, with the connection function of the graph defined as the marginal posterior probability of an edge random variable, given the…

We consider the inference of the structure of an undirected graphical model in an exact Bayesian framework. More specifically we aim at achieving the inference with close-form posteriors, avoiding any sampling step. This task would be…

Renormalization of complex networks requires principled criteria for assessing whether a coarse-graining preserves dynamical content. We prove that discrete harmonic morphisms -- surjective maps preserving harmonic functions -- provide the…
