We derive a general formula for computing the expected first return time of a random walk on a finite graph. Using this framework, we calculate the expected first return time in various settings over bounded rectangular grids with different…
Decompositional parameters such as treewidth are commonly used to obtain fixed-parameter algorithms for NP-hard graph problems. For problems that are W[1]-hard parameterized by treewidth, a natural alternative would be to use a suitable…
We study graph products of groups from the viewpoint of measured group theory. We first establish a full measure equivalence classification of graph products of countably infinite groups over finite simple graphs with no transvection and no…
The theorem of Dekking and Host regarding tightness around the mean of first passage percolation on the binary tree, from the root to a boundary of a ball, is generalized to a class of graphs which includes all lattices in hyperbolic spaces…
We describe the structure of connected graphs with the minimum and maximum average distance, radius, diameter, betweenness centrality, efficiency and resistance distance, given their order and size. We find tight bounds on these graph…
A graph $G$ is $k$-edge geodetic graph if every edge of $G$ lies in at least one geodesic of length $k$. We studied some basic properties of $k$-edge geodetic graphs. We investigated the $k$ edge-geodeticity of complete bipartite graph…
Let $t$ be a positive real number. A graph is called $t$-tough if the removal of any vertex set $S$ that disconnects the graph leaves at most $|S|/t$ components. The toughness of a graph is the largest $t$ for which the graph is $t$-tough.…
We prove that the edge-reinforced random walk on the ladder ${\mathbb{Z}\times\{1,2\}}$ with initial weights $a>3/4$ is recurrent. The proof uses a known representation of the edge-reinforced random walk on a finite piece of the ladder as a…
A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in Euclidean $d$-space is rigid if the only edge-length-preserving continuous motions arise from isometries of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the generic case, rigidity is determined by the generic $d$-dimensional rigidity…
We connect several notions relating the structural and dynamical properties of a graph. Among them are the topological entropy coming from the vertex shift, which is related to the spectral radius of the graph's adjacency matrix, the…
Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter. In this article, we compute twin-width of various finite graphs. In particular, we prove that the twin-widths of finite graphs with 4 and 5 vertices are less than equal to 1 and 2,…
In this paper, we propose a new type of graph, denoted as "embedded-graph", and its theory, which employs a distributed representation to describe the relations on the graph edges. Embedded-graphs can express linguistic and complicated…
Consider the family of all finite graphs with maximum degree $\Delta(G)<d$ and matching number $\nu(G)<m$. In this paper we give a new proof to obtain the exact upper bound for the number of edges in such graphs and also characterize all…
A graph matroid family $\mathcal{M}$ is a family of matroids $\mathcal{M}(G)$ defined on the edge set of each finite graph $G$ in a compatible and isomorphism-invariant way. We say that $\mathcal{M}$ has the Whitney property if there is a…
In this paper we study a new metric for comparing Betti numbers functions in bidimensional persistent homology, based on coherent matchings, i.e. families of matchings that vary in a continuous way. We prove some new results about this…
Let $G$ be a connected $d$-regular graph of order $n$, where $d\geq3$. Let $\lambda_{2}(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. For even $n$, we show that $G$ contains $\left\lfloor\frac{2}{3}(d-\lambda_{2}(G))\right\rfloor$…
A fruitful contemporary paradigm in graph theory is that almost all graphs that do not contain a certain subgraph have common structural characteristics. The "almost" is crucial, without it there is no structure. In this paper we transfer…
The study of the topological structure of complex networks has fascinated researchers for several decades, and today we have a fairly good understanding of the types and reoccurring characteristics of many different complex networks.…
We prove that $\beta_p(I(G)) = \beta_{p,p+r}(I(G))$ for skew Ferrers graph $G$, where $p:=\pd(I(G))$ and $r:=\reg(I(G))$. As a consequence, we confirm that Ene, Herzog and Hibi's conjecture is true for the Betti numbers in the last columm…
We examine the generic local and global rigidity of various graphs in R^d. Bruce Hendrickson showed that some necessary conditions for generic global rigidity are (d+1)-connectedness and generic redundant rigidity and hypothesized that they…
