Graph transformations definable in logic can be described using the notion of transductions. By understanding transductions as a basic embedding mechanism, which captures the possibility of encoding one graph in another graph by means of…

In this paper it is shown that it is possible to associate several polynomial ideals to a directed graph $D$ in order to find properties of it. In fact by using algebraic tools it is possible to give appropriate procedures for automatic…

We describe structural properties of strongly connected finite directed graphs, that are invariants of the topological conjugacy of their Markov-Dyck shifts. For strongly connected finite directed graphs with these properties topological…

We investigate structural implications arising from the condition that a given directed graph does not interpret, in the sense of primitive positive interpretation with parameters or orbits, every finite structure. Our results generalize…

In multivariate time series analysis, understanding the underlying causal relationships among variables is often of interest for various applications. Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) provide a powerful framework for representing causal…

We introduce a new class of graphical models that generalizes Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg chain graphs by relaxing the semi-directed acyclity constraint so that only directed cycles are forbidden. Moreover, up to two edges are allowed…

In this review, we discuss approaches for learning causal structure from data, also called causal discovery. In particular, we focus on approaches for learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and various generalizations which allow for some…

We introduce priors and algorithms to perform Bayesian inference in Gaussian models defined by acyclic directed mixed graphs. Such a class of graphs, composed of directed and bi-directed edges, is a representation of conditional…

We generalise the insertion into a binary heap to any directed acyclic graph (DAG) with one source vertex. This lets us formulate a general method for converting any such DAG into a data structure with priority queue interface. We apply our…

We develop a novel convolutional architecture tailored for learning from data defined over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). DAGs can be used to model causal relationships among variables, but their nilpotent adjacency matrices pose unique…

We study the relation between algebraic structures and Graph Theory. We have defined five different weighted digraphs associated to a finite dimensional algebra over a field in order to tackle important properties of the associated…

Background: Diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies, like etiological studies, are susceptible to various biases including reference standard error bias, partial verification bias, spectrum effect, confounding, and bias from misassumption of…

Recent work on causal abstraction, in particular graphical approaches focusing on causal structure between clusters of variables, aims to summarize a high-dimensional causal structure in terms of a low-dimensional one. Existing methods for…

We propose a graphical language that accommodates two monoidal structures: a multiplicative one for pairing and an additional one for branching. In this colored PROP, whether wires in parallel are linked through the multiplicative structure…

We describe various path homology theories constructed for a directed hypergraph. We introduce the category of directed hypergraphs and the notion of a homotopy in this category. Also, we investigate the functoriality and the homotopy…

The paper aims at finding acyclic graphs under a given set of constraints. More specifically, given a propositional formula {\phi} over edges of a fixed-size graph, the objective is to find a model of {\phi} that corresponds to a graph that…

We prove a version of Bass' finitistic dimension conjecture for path algebras over arbitrary directed graphs. It is known that the path algebra of a finite directed graph is hereditary, hence it has finite finitistic dimension, when the…
