The topic of this treatise is a combinatorial technique called Graph Pebbling. We investigate pebbling numbers, weight functions, flow networks, hypercubes, and the zero-sum conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Lemke. This investigation is a…
We show that there is a system of 14 non-trivial finitary functions on the random graph with the following properties: Any non-trivial function on the random graph generates one of the functions of this system by means of composition with…
We generalize the matroid-theoretic approach to greedy algorithms to the setting of poset matroids, in the sense of Barnabei, Nicoletti and Pezzoli (1998) [BNP]. We illustrate our result by providing a generalization of Kruskal algorithm…
I report on the development of a novel statistical mechanical formalism for the analysis of random graphs with many short loops, and processes on such graphs. The graphs are defined via maximum entropy ensembles, in which both the degrees…
This is a glossary of notions and methods related with the topological theory of collections of affine planes, including braid groups, configuration spaces, order complexes, stratified Morse theory, simplicial resolutions, complexes of…
The purpose of this survey is to provide a gentle introduction to several recent breakthroughs in graph Ramsey theory. In particular, we will outline the proofs (due to various groups of authors) of exponential improvements to the diagonal,…
We consider 15 properties of labeled random graphs that are of interest in the graph-theoretical and the graph mining literature, such as clustering coefficients, centrality measures, spectral radius, degree assortativity, treedepth,…
Graphs are fundamental mathematical structures used in various fields to represent data, signals and processes. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for learning/estimating graphs from data. The proposed framework includes (i)…
We use the "pearl" machinery in our previous work to study certain enumerative invariants associated to monotone Lagrangian submanifolds.
Exploring missing data in attributed graphs introduces unique challenges beyond those found in tabular datasets. In this work, we extend the taxonomy for missing data mechanisms to attributed graphs by proposing GAMM (Graph Attributes…
In this partly expository paper we discuss and describe some of our old and recent results on partial orders on the set (m,n)-graphs (i.e. graphs with n vertices and m edges) and some operations on graphs that are monotone with respect to…
Matrix models are a promising candidate for a nonperturbative formulation of the superstring theory. It is possible to study how the standard model and other phenomenological models appear from the matrix model, and estimate the probability…
Graph polynomials encode fundamental combinatorial invariants of graphs. Their computation is investigated using tree and path decomposition frameworks, with formal definitions of treewidth, k-trees, and pathwidth establishing the…
Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson have recently shown that the computation of the equivariant cohomology ring of a G-manifold can be reduced to a computation in graph theory. This opens up the possibility that many of the fundamental…
We give a common matroidal generalisation of `A Cantor-Bernstein theorem for paths in graphs' by Diestel and Thomassen and `A Cantor-Bernstein-type theorem for spanning trees in infinite graphs' by ourselves.
Much recent progress in hypergraph Ramsey theory has focused on constructions that lead to lower bounds for the corresponding Ramsey numbers. In this paper, we consider applications of these results to Gallai colorings. That is, we focus on…
A cut of a graph can be represented in many different ways. Here we propose to represent a cut through a ``relation tree'', which is a spanning tree with signed edges. We show that this picture helps to classify the main greedy heuristics…
We introduce graph potentials, which are Laurent polynomials associated to (colored) trivalent graphs. We show that the birational type of the graph potential only depends on the homotopy type of the colored graph, and use this to define a…
Graphs are a basic tool for the representation of modern data. The richness of the topological information contained in a graph goes far beyond its mere interpretation as a one-dimensional simplicial complex. We show how topological…
We describe a new algorithm, the $(k,\ell)$-pebble game with colors, and use it obtain a characterization of the family of $(k,\ell)$-sparse graphs and algorithmic solutions to a family of problems concerning tree decompositions of graphs.…
