In [Distrance-regular Cayley graphs on dihedral groups, J. Combin. Theory Ser B 97 (2007) 14--33], Miklavi\v{c} and Poto\v{c}nik proposed the problem of characterizing distance-regular Cayley graphs, which can be viewed as an extension of…
We introduce a nested family of Bayesian nonparametric models for network and interaction data with a hierarchical granularity structure that naturally arises through finer and coarser population labelings. In the case of network data, the…
The gathering problem requires a set of mobile agents, arbitrarily positioned at different nodes of a network to group within finite time at the same location, not fixed in advanced. The extensive existing literature on this problem shares…
A directed graph is set-homogeneous if, whenever U and V are isomorphic finite subdigraphs, there is an automorphism g of the digraph with U^g=V. Here, extending work of Lachlan on finite homogeneous digraphs, we classify finite…
We introduce, and partially resolve, a conjecture that brings a three-centuries-old derangements phenomenon and its much younger two-decades-old analogue under the same umbrella. Through a graph-theoretic lens, a derangement is a perfect…
The intersection graph of a family of sets $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ is a graph whose vertex set is $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if the intersection of the corresponding sets is non-empty.…
Let $D$ be a digraph. A subset $S$ of $V(D)$ is a stable set if every pair of vertices in $S$ is non-adjacent in $D$. A collection of disjoint paths $\mathcal{P}$ of $D$ is a path partition of $V(D)$, if every vertex in $V(D)$ is exactly on…
Chain graphs combine directed and undirected graphs and their underlying mathematics combines properties of the two. This paper gives a simplified definition of chain graphs based on a hierarchical combination of Bayesian (directed) and…
Graphical models are used to describe the conditional independence relations in multivariate data. They have been used for a variety of problems, including log-linear models (Liu and Massam, 2006), network analysis (Holland and Leinhardt,…
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…
One property of networks that has received comparatively little attention is hierarchy, i.e., the property of having vertices that cluster together in groups, which then join to form groups of groups, and so forth, up through all levels of…
We discuss an open problem and its converse first posed by Dougherty and Faber in [3], "Network routing on regular directed graphs from spanning factorizations." Does every vertex transitive digraph have a spanning 1=factorization? We show…
It is known that families of graphs with a semialgebraic edge relation of bounded complexity satisfy much stronger regularity properties than arbitrary graphs, and that they can be decomposed into very homogeneous semialgebraic pieces up to…
A new family of groups, called trickle groups, is presented. These groups generalize right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups, as well as cactus groups. A trickle group is defined by a presentation with relations of the form $xy = zx$ and…
In the mid-1990s, two groups of authors independently obtained classifications of vertex-transitive graphs whose order is a product of two distinct primes. In the intervening years it has become clear that there is additional information…
A normally regular digraph with parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ is a directed graph on $v$ vertices whose adjacency matrix $A$ satisfies the equation $AA^t=k I+\lambda (A+A^t)+\mu(J-I-A-A^t)$. This means that every vertex has out-degree $k$,…
Directed Acylic Graphs with a single entry vertex and a single exit vertex (st-DAGs) have many applications. For instance, they are frequently used for modelling flow problems or precedence conditions among tasks, work packages, etc.. This…
Disentanglement via mechanism sparsity was introduced recently as a principled approach to extract latent factors without supervision when the causal graph relating them in time is sparse, and/or when actions are observed and affect them…
The distinguishing number $D(G,X)$ of an action of a group $G$ on a set $X$ is the least size of a partition of $X$ such that no element of $G$ acting nontrivially on $X$ preserves this partition. In this paper we describe the…
An imprimitive symmetric indecomposable association scheme of rank 5 is said to be Higmanian. A divisible design graph is a graph whose adjacency matrix is an incidence matrix of a symmetric divisible design. We establish conditions which…
