This paper proposes a new method for converting a time-series into a weighted graph (complex network), which builds on the electrostatic conceptualization originating from physics. The proposed method conceptualizes a time-series as a…

If V is the vertex sequence of a symmetric 2t-cycle in the hypercube graph with the vertices {1,-1}^t, then for any vertex T of the graph there exists a unique inclusion-minimal subset of V such that T is the sum of its elements. We present…

Understanding how the cycles of a graph or digraph behave in general has always been an important point of graph theory. In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct…

We study a generalization of the Steiner tree problem, where we are given a weighted network $G$ together with a collection of $k$ subsets of its vertices and a root $r$. We wish to construct a minimum cost network such that the network…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex connected graph. A cyclic base ordering of $G$ is a cyclic ordering of all edges such that every cyclically consecutive $n-1$ edges induce a spanning tree of $G$. In this project, we study cyclic base ordering of…

Counting short cycles in bipartite graphs is a fundamental problem of interest in many fields including the analysis and design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. There are two computational approaches to count short cycles (with…

We show that the minimal D = 5, N = 2 gauged supergravity set-up may encode naturally the recently proposed clockwork mechanism. The minimal embedding requires one vector multiplet in addition to the supergravity multiplet and the clockwork…

It can be conjectured that the colored Jones function of a knot can be computed in terms of counting paths on the graph of a planar projection of a knot. On the combinatorial level, the colored Jones function can be replaced by its weight…

Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes, whose weight distribution have been extensively studied. So far, most of previous results obtained were for cyclic codes with no more than three zeros. Recently, \cite{Y-X-D12}…

A way to associate unweighted graphs from weighted ones is presented, such that linear stable equilibria of the Kuramoto homogeneous model associated to both graphs coincide, i.e., equilibria of the system $\dot\theta_i = \sum_{j \sim i}…

In this article, we show that a conjecture raised in [KLMR], which regards the coefficient of the highest term when we evaluate the sl_2 weight system on the projection of a diagram to primitive elements, is a consequence of the…

We consider the problem of inferring a matching hidden in a weighted random $k$-hypergraph. We assume that the hyperedges' weights are random and distributed according to two different densities conditioning on the fact that they belong to…

A well-known result of Verstra\"ete \cite{V00} shows that for each integer $k\geq 2$ every graph $G$ with average degree at least $8k$ contains cycles of $k$ consecutive even lengths, the shortest of which is at most twice the radius of…

In directed graphs, a cycle can be seen as a structure that allows its vertices to loop back to themselves, or as a structure that allows pairs of vertices to reach each other through distinct paths. We extend these concepts to temporal…

Traffic fluctuation has so far been studied on unweighted networks. However many real traffic systems are better represented as weighted networks, where nodes and links are assigned a weight value representing their physical properties such…

Let ${\cal G}=(G,w)$ be a weighted simple finite connected graph, that is, let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph endowed with a function $w$ from the set of the edges of $G$ to the set of real numbers. For any subgraph $G'$ of $G$, we…

Weak and strong coloring numbers are generalizations of the degeneracy of a graph, where for each natural number $k$, we seek a vertex ordering such every vertex can (weakly respectively strongly) reach in $k$ steps only few vertices with…

A cycle cover of a graph is a set of cycles such that every vertex is part of exactly one cycle. An L-cycle cover is a cycle cover in which the length of every cycle is in the set L. We investigate how well L-cycle covers of minimum weight…

In this note, we describe a construction that leads to families of graphs whose critical groups are cyclic. For some of these families we are able to give a formula for the number of spanning trees of the graph, which then determines the…

A random graph evolution rule is considered. The graph evolution is based on interactions of three vertices. The weight of a clique is the number of its interactions. The asymptotic behaviour of the weights is described. It is known that…
