Metric graph properties lie in the heart of the analysis of complex networks, while in this paper we study their convexity through mathematical definition of a convex subgraph. A subgraph is convex if every geodesic path between the nodes…
A good edge-labelling of a simple graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for any ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. Say a graph is good if it admits a good…
We define three new pebbling parameters of a connected graph $G$, the $r$-, $g$-, and $u$-critical pebbling numbers. Together with the pebbling number, the optimal pebbling number, the number of vertices $n$ and the diameter $d$ of the…
Given a graph G, a real orthogonal representation of G is a function from its set of vertices to R^d such that two vertices are mapped to orthogonal vectors if and only if they are not neighbors. The minimum vector rank of a graph is the…
A uniformly discrete Euclidean graph is a graph embedded in a Euclidean space so that there is a minimum distance between distinct vertices. If such a graph embedded in an $n$-dimensional space is preserved under $n$ linearly independent…
The observation, design and analysis of mesh-like networks in bionics, polymer physics and biological systems has brought forward an extensive catalog of fascinating structures of which a subgroup share a particular, yet critically under…
A bridge in a graph is an edge whose removal disconnects the graph and increases the number of connected components. We calculate the fraction of bridges in a wide range of real-world networks and their randomized counterparts. We find that…
In this paper we consider the concept of `closeness' between nodes in a weighted network that can be defined topologically even in the absence of a metric. The Generalized Erd\H{o}s Numbers (GENs) satisfy a number of desirable properties as…
We show that every sufficiently large plane triangulation has a large collection of nested cycles that either are pairwise disjoint, or pairwise intersect in exactly one vertex, or pairwise intersect in exactly two vertices. We apply this…
Under an appropriate symmetric extensive bipartition in a one-dimensional symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase, a bulk critical entanglement spectrum can be obtained, resembling the excitation spectrum of the critical point separating…
Ropelength and embedding thickness are related measures of geometric complexity of classical knots and links in Euclidean space. In their recent work, Freedman and Krushkal posed a question regarding lower bounds for embedding thickness of…
We consider relations between the size, treewidth, and local crossing number (maximum number of crossings per edge) of graphs embedded on topological surfaces. We show that an $n$-vertex graph embedded on a surface of genus $g$ with at most…
Spatially embedded networks are important in several disciplines. The prototypical spatial net- work we assume is the Random Geometric Graph of which many properties are known. Here we present new results for the two-point degree…
We study the geometry of linear networks with one-dimensional convolutional layers. The function spaces of these networks can be identified with semi-algebraic families of polynomials admitting sparse factorizations. We analyze the impact…
We find the asymptotic number of connected graphs with $k$ vertices and $k-1+l$ edges when $k,l$ approach infinity, reproving a result of Bender, Canfield and McKay. We use the {\em probabilistic method}, analyzing breadth-first search on…
Complex networks with high numbers of nodes or links are often difficult to analyse. However, not all elements contribute equally to their structural patterns. A small number of elements (the hubs) seem to play a particularly relevant role…
Signed graphs are graphs with signed edges. They are commonly used to represent positive and negative relationships in social networks. While balance theory and clusterizable graphs deal with signed graphs to represent social interactions,…
Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors distributed exponentially with parameter $\lam .$ For each $y$ and $n\geq 1,$ form a graph $G_n(y)$ with vertex set $V_n = \{X_1,...,X_n\},$ two vertices are connected if…
This note answers a question posed by Levine in arkiv:math.CO/0906.2809. The main result is Theorem 1 which shows that under certain circumstances a critical group of a directed graph is the quotient of a critical group of its directed line…
$k$-core percolation is a percolation model which gives a notion of network functionality and has many applications in network science. In analysing the resilience of a network under random damage, an extension of this model is introduced,…
