An edge xy is relating in the graph G if there is an independent set S, containing neither x nor y, such that S_{x} and S_{y} are both maximal independent sets in G. It is an NP-complete problem to decide whether an edge is relating (Brown,…
Graphs are used widely to model complex systems, and detecting anomalies in a graph is an important task in the analysis of complex systems. Graph anomalies are patterns in a graph that do not conform to normal patterns expected of the…
An uncertain graph $\mathcal{G} = (V, E, p : E \rightarrow (0,1])$ can be viewed as a probability space whose outcomes (referred to as \emph{possible worlds}) are subgraphs of $\mathcal{G}$ where any edge $e\in E$ occurs with probability…
