How can the `affinity' or `strength' of ties of a random graph be characterized and compactly represented? How can concepts like Fourier and inverse-Fourier like transform be developed for graph data? To do so, we introduce a new…

Cascading failures are one of the main reasons for blackouts in power transmission grids. The topology of a power grid, together with its operative state determine, for the most part, the robustness of the power grid against cascading…
