Motivated by the properties of the descent polynomials, which enumerate permutations of $S_n$ with a fixed descent set, we define descent polynomials for labeled rooted trees. We give recursive and explicit formulas for these polynomials…

Acyclic digraphs arise in many natural and artificial processes. Among the broader set, dynamic citation networks represent a substantively important form of acyclic digraphs. For example, the study of such networks includes the spread of…

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are a class of graphs commonly used in practice, with examples that include electronic circuits, Bayesian networks, and neural architectures. While many effective encoders exist for DAGs, it remains…

I present an algorithm that, given a number $n \geq 1$, computes a compact representation of the set of all noncrossing acyclic digraphs with $n$ nodes. This compact representation can be used as the basis for a wide range of dynamic…

A biased graph consists of a graph $G$ together with a collection of distinguished cycles of $G$, called balanced cycles, with the property that no theta subgraph contains exactly two balanced cycles. Perhaps the most natural biased graphs…

In the literature, the notion of discrepancy is used in several contexts, even in the theory of graphs. Here, for a graph $G$, $\{-1, 1\}$ labels are assigned to the edges, and we consider a family $\mathcal{S}_G$ of (spanning) subgraphs of…

In directed graphs, a cycle can be seen as a structure that allows its vertices to loop back to themselves, or as a structure that allows pairs of vertices to reach each other through distinct paths. We extend these concepts to temporal…

The paper aims at finding acyclic graphs under a given set of constraints. More specifically, given a propositional formula {\phi} over edges of a fixed-size graph, the objective is to find a model of {\phi} that corresponds to a graph that…

An arithmetical structure on a graph is given by a labeling of the vertices which satisfies certain divisibility properties. In this note, we look at several families of graphs and attempt to give counts on the number of arithmetical…

An edge colouring of a graph $G$ is called acyclic if it is proper and every cycle contains at least three colours. We show that for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists a $g=g(\varepsilon)$ such that if $G$ has girth at least $g$ then $G$…

Consider a directed multigraph $D$ that is balanced (i.e., at each vertex, the indegree equals the outdegree). Let $A$ be its set of arcs. Fix an integer $k$. Let $s$ be a vertex of $D$. We show that the number of $k$-element subsets $B$ of…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labelled positive or negative. The sign of a circle (cycle, circuit) is the product of the signs of its edges. Most of the essential properties of a signed graph depend on the signs of its circles.…

An oriented hypergraph is a hypergraph where each vertex-edge incidence is given a label of $+1$ or $-1$. We define the adjacency, incidence and Laplacian matrices of an oriented hypergraph and study each of them. We extend several matrix…

We show that the number of acyclic directed graphs with n labeled vertices is equal to the number of n X n (0,1)-matrices whose eigenvalues are positive real numbers.

Directed acyclic graphs are a fundamental class of networks that includes citation networks, food webs, and family trees, among others. Here we define a random graph model for directed acyclic graphs and give solutions for a number of the…

The degree sequence of a graph is a numerical method to characterize the properties of graphs. Generalized forms of degree sequences exist for complete graphs and complete graphs. Nikolopolus et al. characterized the number of spanning…

For a graph $G$ and $S\subset V(G)$, if $G - S$ is acyclic, then $S$ is said to be a decycling set of $G$. The size of a smallest decycling set of $G$ is called the decycling number of $G$. The purpose of this paper is a comprehensive…

We consider a well known model of random directed acyclic graphs of order $n$, obtained by recursively adding vertices, where each new vertex has a fixed outdegree $d\ge2$ and the endpoints of the $d$ edges from it are chosen uniformly at…

We show that the edges crossed by a random walk in a network form a recurrent graph a.s. In fact, the same is true when those edges are weighted by the number of crossings.
