In the sufficiently sparse case, we find the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degree sequence contains no edge from a specified set of edges. This enables us to enumerate loop-free digraphs and oriented graphs…

Accurate sensing of spatially distributed physical fields typically requires dense instrumentation, which is often infeasible in real-world systems due to cost, accessibility, and environmental constraints. Physics-based solvers address…

Among community detection methods, spectral clustering enjoys two desirable properties: computational efficiency and theoretical guarantees of consistency. Most studies of spectral clustering consider only the edges of a network as input to…
