Given a regular (connected) graph $\Gamma=(X,E)$ with adjacency matrix $A$, $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues, and diameter $D$, we give a characterization of when its distance matrix $A_D$ is a polynomial in $A$, in terms of the adjacency…

In this paper we consider the concept of preintersection numbers of a graph. These numbers are determined by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph, and generalize the intersection numbers of a distance-regular graph. By using…

In the first part of this paper, we survey results that are associated with three types of Laplacian matrices:difference, normalized, and signless. We derive eigenvalue and eigenvector formulaes for paths and cycles using circulant matrices…

We present a computer-assisted approach to coarse-graining the evolutionary dynamics of a system of nonidentical oscillators coupled through a (fixed) network structure. The existence of a spectral gap for the coupling network graph…

Graph representation learning plays an important role in many graph mining applications, but learning embeddings of large-scale graphs remains a problem. Recent works try to improve scalability via graph summarization -- i.e., they learn…

We present the spectrum of the (normalized) graph Laplacian as a systematic tool for the investigation of networks, and we describe basic properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Processes of graph formation like motif joining or…

Reducing the complexity of large systems described as complex networks is key to understand them and a crucial issue is to know which properties of the initial system are preserved in the reduced one. Here we use random walks to design a…

We give the first specific conjectures on how frequently graphs satisfy sufficient conditions for being uniquely characterized by spectral information. These conjectures arise from a theoretical framework that we developed based on…

The hierarchical product of two graphs represents a natural way to build a larger graph out of two smaller graphs with less regular and therefore more heterogeneous structure than the Cartesian product. Here we study the eigenvalue spectrum…

A new class of isospectral graphs is presented. These graphs are isospectral with respect to both the normalised Laplacian on the discrete graph and the standard differential Laplacian on the corresponding metric graph. The new class of…

How might one "reduce" a graph? That is, generate a smaller graph that preserves the global structure at the expense of discarding local details? There has been extensive work on both graph sparsification (removing edges) and graph…

Spectral clustering is one of the most popular clustering methods for finding clusters in a graph, which has found many applications in data mining. However, the input graph in those applications may have many missing edges due to error in…
