We consider three distinct and well studied problems concerning network structure: community detection by modularity maximization, community detection by statistical inference, and normalized-cut graph partitioning. Each of these problems…
Bipartite graphs, modeling relationships between two types of entities, are widely used in practical applications. Community search, a fundamental problem in bipartite graphs, has gained significant attention. However, existing studies…

The problem of community detection with two equal-sized communities is closely related to the minimum graph bisection problem over certain random graph models. In the stochastic block model distribution over networks with community…
Detecting communities in high-dimensional graphs can be achieved by applying random matrix theory where the adjacency matrix of the graph is modeled by a Stochastic Block Model (SBM). However, the SBM makes an unrealistic assumption that…
Applied network science often involves preprocessing network data before applying a network-analysis method, and there is typically a theoretical disconnect between these steps. For example, it is common to aggregate time-varying network…
Communities in directed networks have often been characterized as regions with a high density of links, or as sets of nodes with certain patterns of connection. Our approach for community detection combines the optimization of a quality…
Community detection has been one of the central problems in network studies and directed network is particularly challenging due to asymmetry among its links. In this paper, we found that incorporating the direction of links reveals new…
Spectral embedding of adjacency or Laplacian matrices of undirected graphs is a common technique for representing a network in a lower dimensional latent space, with optimal theoretical guarantees. The embedding can be used to estimate the…
We study upper bounds on the size of optimum locating-total dominating sets in graphs. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a locating-total dominating set if every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $S$, and if any two vertices outside $S$…
Community detection, which uncovers closely connected vertex groups in networks, is vital for applications in social networks, recommendation systems, and beyond. Real-world networks often have bipartite structures (vertices in two disjoint…

Local graph partitioning is a key graph mining tool that allows researchers to identify small groups of interrelated nodes (e.g. people) and their connective edges (e.g. interactions). Because local graph partitioning is primarily focused…
There are extensive studies focusing on the application scenario that all the bipartite cohesive subgraphs need to be discovered in a bipartite graph. However, we observe that, for some applications, one is interested in finding bipartite…
This paper introduces a new concept of least community that is as homogeneous as a random graph, and develops a new community detection algorithm from the perspective of homogeneity or heterogeneity. Based on this concept, we adopt…
We formulate a spectral graph-partitioning algorithm that uses the two leading eigenvectors of the matrix corresponding to a selected quality function to split a network into three communities in a single step. In so doing, we extend the…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with two distinguished vertices $s,t\in V$ and an integer parameter $L>0$, an {\em $L$-bounded cut} is a subset $F$ of edges (vertices) such that the every path between $s$ and $t$ in $G\setminus F$ has length more…
Large graphs commonly appear in social networks, knowledge graphs, recommender systems, life sciences, and decision making problems. Summarizing large graphs by their high level properties is helpful in solving problems in these settings.…
Algebraic connectivity is one way to quantify graph connectivity, which in turn gauges robustness as a network. In this paper, we consider the problem of maximising algebraic connectivity both local and globally over all simple, undirected,…
The grounded Laplacian matrix $\LL_{-S}$ of a graph $\calG=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ nodes and $m=|E|$ edges is a $(n-s)\times (n-s)$ submatrix of its Laplacian matrix $\LL$, obtained from $\LL$ by deleting rows and columns corresponding to…
