In real-world networks, predicting the weight (strength) of links is as crucial as predicting the existence of the links themselves. Previous studies have primarily used shallow graph features for link weight prediction, limiting the…

We consider the distributed weight balancing problem in networks of nodes that are interconnected via directed edges, each of which is able to admit a positive integer weight within a certain interval, captured by individual lower and upper…

Let ${\cal G}=(G,w)$ be a weighted simple finite connected graph, that is, let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph endowed with a function $w$ from the set of the edges of $G$ to the set of real numbers. For any subgraph $G'$ of $G$, we…

An undirected graph is Eulerian if it is connected and all its vertices are of even degree. Similarly, a directed graph is Eulerian, if for each vertex its in-degree is equal to its out-degree. It is well known that Eulerian graphs can be…

Given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S \subseteq V$, a subset feedback vertex set $X$ is a set of the vertices of $G$ such that the graph induced by $V \setminus X$ has no cycle containing a vertex of $S$. The \textsc{Subset…

Let G be a bipartite graph with positive integer weights on the edges and without isolated nodes. Let n, N and W be the node count, the largest edge weight and the total weight of G. Let k(x,y) be log(x)/log(x^2/y). We present a new…
