Graphs are used in many disciplines to model the relationships that exist between objects in a complex discrete system. Researchers may wish to compare a network of interest to a "typical" graph from a family (or ensemble) of graphs which…
We introduce Arrow, a foundation model for zero-shot causal discovery on observational tabular data. Arrow factorizes a directed acyclic graph into an undirected skeleton and a topological order, guaranteeing acyclicity by construction.…
To build recommender systems that not only consider user-item interactions represented as ordinal variables, but also exploit the social network describing the relationships between the users, we develop a hierarchical Bayesian model termed…
Directed graphs occur throughout statistical modeling of networks, and exchangeability is a natural assumption when the ordering of vertices does not matter. There is a deep structural theory for exchangeable undirected graphs, which…
The path spaces of a directed graph play an important role in the study of graph $\css$. These are topological spaces that were originally constructed using groupoid and inverse semigroup techniques. In this paper, we develop a simple,…
We present an elementary proof of a generalization of Kirchoff's matrix tree theorem to directed, weighted graphs. The proof is based on a specific factorization of the Laplacian matrices associated to the graphs, which only involves the…
We present the first combinatorial scheme for counting labelled 4-regular planar graphs through a complete recursive decomposition. More precisely, we show that the exponential generating function of labelled 4-regular planar graphs can be…
The generating series of a number of different objects studied in arithmetic statistics can be built out of Euler products. Euler products often have very nice analytic properties, and by constructing a meromorphic continuation one can use…
The arrow graph of a function consists of two parallel axes, with arrows from input values to output values. The lines through these arrows envelop a curve which we named the focal curve. This paper studies these focal curves in detail. We…
Strongly chordal graphs are a subclass of chordal graphs. Farber also established a number of different characterisations for this class of graphs. These include an intersection graph characterisation that is analogous to a similar…
We use our extension of the symbolic method in enumerative combinatorics (we extend finite sums defining coefficients in generating functions to infinite series) to generalize P\'olya's theorem. This theorem determines limits of…
Certain families of combinatorial objects admit recursive descriptions in terms of generating trees: each node of the tree corresponds to an object, and the branch leading to the node encodes the choices made in the construction of the…
We provide a novel method for constructing asymptotics (to arbitrary accuracy) for the number of directed graphs that realize a fixed bidegree sequence $d = a \times b$ with maximum degree $d_{max}=O(S^{\frac{1}{2}-\tau})$ for an…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the independence graph of a directed 2-complex. We show that the class of diagram groups is closed under graph products over independence graphs of rooted 2-trees. This allows us to show that a…
A descent of a labeled digraph is a directed edge (s, t) with s > t. We count strong tournaments, strong digraphs, and acyclic digraphs by descents and edges. To count strong tournaments we use Eulerian generating functions and to count…
Symmetric independence relations are often studied using graphical representations. Ancestral graphs or acyclic directed mixed graphs with $m$-separation provide classes of symmetric graphical independence models that are closed under…
In this paper, a function on any pair of graphs is defined whose properties are similar to the properties of dot product in vector space. This function enables us to define graph orthogonality and, also, a new metric on isomorphism classes…
We obtain faster expander decomposition algorithms for directed graphs, matching the guarantees of Saranurak and Wang (SODA 2019) for expander decomposition on undirected graphs. Our algorithms are faster than prior work and also generalize…
This paper considers the problem of embedding directed graphs in Euclidean space while retaining directional information. We model a directed graph as a finite set of observations from a diffusion on a manifold endowed with a vector field.…
We propose a universal approach to a range of enumeration problems in graphs. The key point is in contracting suitably chosen symmetric tensors placed at the vertices of a graph along the edges. In particular, this leads to an algorithm…
