Polynomial filters, a kind of Graph Neural Networks, typically use a predetermined polynomial basis and learn the coefficients from the training data. It has been observed that the effectiveness of the model is highly dependent on the…
Spherical Designs are finite sets of points on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$ with the property that the average of certain (low-degree) polynomials in these points coincides with the global average of the polynomial on $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. They…
A polynomial algorithm for graphs' isomorphism testing is constructed in assumption that there exists a corresponding polynomial algorithm for graphs with trivial automorphism group.
The commuting graph of a group $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, two distinct vertices joined if they commute. Our purpose in this paper is twofold: we discuss the computational problem of deciding whether a given…
Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce and investigate graph polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields according to…
We introduce a taxonomy of interaction types and show that graphs are focal hypergraphs: every graph is canonically a focal hypergraph via its closed neighbourhood structure, and every graph dynamical model is a special case of the general…
We study functional graphs generated by quadratic polynomials over prime fields. We introduce efficient algorithms for methodical computations and provide the values of various direct and cumulative statistical parameters of interest. These…
We study how the problem of observables is fully resolved for background independent theories defined on finite graphs. We argue the correct analogue of coordinate independence is the invariance under changes of graph labels, a kind of…
In digital signal processing, shift-invariant filters can be represented as a polynomial expansion of a shift operation,that is, the Z-transform representation. When extended to graph signal processing (GSP), this would mean that a…
A graph is a mathematical object consisting of a set of vertices and a set of edges connecting vertices. Graphs can be drawn on paper in various ways, but until recently all published methods of drawing graphs have had undesirable…
The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each cardinality and its roots are called independence roots. We investigate here purely imaginary independence roots. We show that…
We consider polynomial maps described by so-called "(multivariate) linearized polynomials". These polynomials are defined using a fixed prime power, say q. Linearized polynomials have no mixed terms. Considering invertible polynomial maps…
Let G be a combinatorial graph with vertices V and edges E. A proper coloring of G is an assignment of colors to the vertices such that no edge connects two vertices of the same color. These are the colorings considered in the famous Four…
To directed graphs with unique sink and source we associate a noncommutative associative alsgebra and a polynomial over this algebra. Edges of the graph correspond to pseudo-roots of the polynomial. We give a sufficient condition when…
There has been a great deal of attention recently to graphs whose vertex set is a group, defined using the group structure. (The commuting graph, where two elements are joined if they commute, is the oldest and most famous example.) The…
We define a range of new coarse geometric invariants based on various graph-theoretic measures of complexity for finite graphs, including: treewidth, pathwidth, cutwidth and bandwidth. We prove that, for bounded degree graphs, these…
The power graph $\mathscr{P}(G)$ of a group $G$ is defined as the simple graph with vertex set $G$, and where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are joined by an edge if and only if either $x= y^k$ or $y= x^k$, $k \in \mathbb{N}$. Here we…
Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices with adjacency matrix $A_G$. Associated to $G$ is a polynomial $d_G(x_1,\dots, x_n)$ of degree $n$ in $n$ variables, obtained as the determinant of the matrix $M_G(x_1,\dots,x_n)$, where…
Functional digraphs are unlabelled finite digraphs where each vertex has exactly one out-neighbor. They are isomorphic classes of finite discrete-time dynamical systems. Endowed with the direct sum and product, functional digraphs form a…
In this paper we introduce, and characterize, a class of graph parameters obtained from tensor invariants of the symplectic group. These parameters are similar to partition functions of vertex models, as introduced by de la Harpe and Jones,…
