We consider the problem of perfectly recovering the vertex correspondence between two correlated Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi (ER) graphs. For a pair of correlated graphs on the same vertex set, the correspondence between the vertices can be obscured…

Sparse recovery can recover sparse signals from a set of underdetermined linear measurements. Motivated by the need to monitor large-scale networks from a limited number of measurements, this paper addresses the problem of recovering sparse…

We consider the following graph reconstruction problem: given an unweighted connected graph $G = (V,E)$ with visible vertex set $V$ and an oracle which takes two vertices $u,v \in V$ and returns the shortest path distance between $u$ and…

We study the problem of community recovery from coarse measurements of a graph. In contrast to the problem of community recovery of a fully observed graph, one often encounters situations when measurements of a graph are made at…

Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing a directed graph using path queries. In this query model of learning, a graph is hidden from the learner, and the learner can access information about it with path queries. For a…

In a directed graph, the imbalance of a vertex is its outdegree minus its indegree. We characterize the sequences that are realizable as the sequence of imbalances of a simple directed graph. Moreover, a realization of a realizable sequence…

This paper considers the problem of embedding directed graphs in Euclidean space while retaining directional information. We model a directed graph as a finite set of observations from a diffusion on a manifold endowed with a vector field.…
