This study introduces an algorithm that generates undirected graphs with three main characteristics of real-world networks: scale-freeness, short distances between nodes (small-world phenomenon), and large clustering coefficients. The main…

Embedding graphs in a geographical or latent space, i.e.\ inferring locations for vertices in Euclidean space or on a smooth manifold or submanifold, is a common task in network analysis, statistical inference, and graph visualization. We…

We consider general Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) where the sufficient statistics are functions of homomorphism counts for a fixed collection of simple graphs $F_k$. Whereas previous work has shown a degeneracy phenomenon in dense…

Dimensionality effects pose major challenges in high-dimensional and non-Euclidean data analysis. Graph-based two-sample tests and change-point detection are particularly attractive in this context, as they make minimal distributional…

We analyse graphs in which each vertex is assigned random coordinates in a geometric space of arbitrary dimensionality and only edges between adjacent points are present. The critical connectivity is found numerically by examining the size…

We introduce a class of random graphs that we argue meets many of the desiderata one would demand of a model to serve as the foundation for a statistical analysis of real-world networks. The class of random graphs is defined by a…

A generalisation of Riemannian geometry is considered, based exclusively on the minimal assumptions that the line element $ds$ is a regular function of position and direction and that the distance of every point from itself is equal to…

The mathematical theory underlying Hamiltonian mechanics is called symplectic geometry. So symplectic geometry arose from the roots of mechanics and is seen as one of the most valuable links between physics and mathematics today. Symplectic…

We study the statistical properties of the generation of random graphs according the configuration model, where one assigns randomly degrees to nodes. This model is often used, e.g., for the scale-free degree distribution ~d^gamma. For the…

We consider random graphs sampled uniformly from a structured class of graphs, such as the class of graphs embeddable in a given surface. We sharpen and extend earlier results on pendant appearances, concerning for example numbers of…

We prove that certain classes of metrically homogeneous graphs omitting triangles of odd short perimeter as well as triangles of long perimeter have the extension property for partial automorphisms and we describe their Ramsey expansions.

We consider planar quadrangulations with three marked vertices and discuss the geometry of triangles made of three geodesic paths joining them. We also study the geometry of minimal separating loops, i.e. paths of minimal length among all…

In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…

A rigidity theory is developed for the Euclidean and non-Euclidean placements of countably infinite simple graphs in R^d with respect to the classical l^p norms, for d>1 and 1<p<\infty. Generalisations are obtained for the Laman and…
