Large graphs abound in machine learning, data mining, and several related areas. A useful step towards analyzing such graphs is that of obtaining certain summary statistics - e.g., or the expected length of a shortest path between two…
A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}=(V,\mathcal{E})$ is a hypertree if it admits a tree $T$ with vertex set $V$ such that every edge of $\mathcal{H}$ induces a subtree of $T$. A tree like that is called a host tree. Several characterizations and…
The results of this paper contribute to the study of invariant measures of Borel dynamical systems that can be modeled using generalized Bratteli diagrams. In this context, we study tail invariant measures on the path spaces of generalized…
Temporal graphs are graphs whose edges are labelled with times at which they are active. Their time-sensitivity provides a useful model of real networks, but renders many problems studied on temporal graphs more computationally complex than…
Let ${\mathcal T}(n,m)$ and ${\mathcal F}(n,m)$ denote the classes of weighted trees and forests, respectively, of order $n$ with the positive integral weights and the fixed total weight sum $m$, respectively. In this paper, we determine…
Graph alignment - identifying node correspondences between two graphs - is a fundamental problem with applications in network analysis, biology, and privacy research. While substantial progress has been made in aligning correlated…
Treemaps are a popular technique to visualize hierarchical data. The input is a weighted tree $\tree$ where the weight of each node is the sum of the weights of its children. A treemap for $\tree$ is a hierarchical partition of a rectangle…
We present a general technique, based on parametric search with some twist, for solving a variety of optimization problems on a set of semi-algebraic geometric objects of constant complexity. The common feature of these problems is that…
In this paper a new graph invariant based on the minimal hitting set problem is introduced. It is shown that it represents a tight lower bound for the doubly metric dimension of a graph. Exact values of new invariant for paths, stars,…
The Graphical House Allocation problem asks: how can $n$ houses (each with a fixed non-negative value) be assigned to the vertices of an undirected graph $G$, so as to minimize the "aggregate local envy", i.e., the sum of absolute…
Let $I(G)$ be a topological index of a graph. If $I(G+e)<I(G)$ (or $I(G+e)>I(G)$, respectively) for each edge $e\not\in G$, then $I(G)$ is monotonically decreasing (or increasing, respectively) with the addition of edges. In this article,…
A classic 1993 paper by Alth\H{o}fer et al. proved a tight reduction from spanners, emulators, and distance oracles to the extremal function $\gamma$ of high-girth graphs. This paper initiated a large body of work in network design, in…
A central limit theorem for binary tree is numerically examined. Two types of central limit theorem for higher-order branches are formulated. A topological structure of a binary tree is expressed by a binary sequence, and the…
Pairwise ordered tree alignment are combinatorial objects that appear in RNA secondary structure comparison. However, the usual representation of tree alignments as supertrees is ambiguous, i.e. two distinct supertrees may induce identical…
An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich…
Recursive partitioning is the core of several statistical methods including CART, random forest, and boosted trees. Despite the popularity of tree based methods, to date, there did not exist methods for combining multiple trees into a…
We start a systematic investigation concerning bipartite Tur\'an number for trees. For a graph $F$ and integers $1 \leq a \leq b$ we define: $(i)$\quad $ex_b(a, b, F)$ is the largest number of edges that an $F$-free bipartite graph can have…
A unifying framework for some extremal problems on locally compact Abelian groups is considered, special cases of which include the Delsarte and Tur\'an extremal problems. A slight variation of the extremal problem is introduced and the…
We propose a family of graph structural indices related to the Matrix-forest theorem. The properties of the basic index that expresses the mutual connectivity of two vertices are studied in detail. The derivative indices that measure…
In this paper we formulate and solve extremal problems in the d-dimensional Euclidean space and further in hypergraphs, originating from problems in stoichiometry and elementary linear algebra. The notion of affine simplex is the bridge…
