We propose two new spectral measures for graphs and networks which characterize the ratios between the width of the "bulk" part of the spectrum and the spectral gap, as well as the ratio between spectral length and the width of the "bulk"…
We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a number of edges growing linearly with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics and a bound on the error were known. Using analytic combinatorics, ie…
The purpose of this note is to point out that the theory of expander graphs leads to an interesting test whether $n$ real numbers $x_1, \dots, x_n$ could be $n$ independent samples of a random variable. To any distinct, real numbers $x_1,…
An infinite family of bounded-degree 'unique-neighbor' expanders was constructed explicitly by Alon and Capalbo (2002). We present an infinite family F of bounded-degree unique-neighbor expanders with the additional property that every…
In various application fields, such as fluid-, cell-, or crowd-simulations, spatial data structures are very important. They answer nearest neighbor queries which are instrumental in performing necessary computations for, e.g., taking the…
Secure multiparty computation (MPC) on incomplete communication networks has been studied within two primary models: (1) Where a partial network is fixed a priori, and thus corruptions can occur dependent on its structure, and (2) Where…
Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…
Feynman diagrams are the foremost tool in the perturbative study of quantum field theory. In gauge theories, the full potential of this tool is revealed when it is combined with the Slavanov-Taylor identities associated with the local gauge…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on a combinatorial graph consisting of a finite graph and a finite number of discrete half-lines, all jointed together, and compute an asymptotic expansion of its resolvent around the threshold $0$.…
By implementing algorithmic versions of Sapozhenko's graph container methods, we give new algorithms for approximating the number of independent sets in bipartite graphs. Our first algorithm applies to $d$-regular, bipartite graphs…
We construct an infinite family of 6-regular graphs $\{G_n\}_{n\ge 3}$ by taking $n$ copies of the Petersen graph and wiring corresponding vertices according to an $n$-cycle permutation. Each $G_n$ has $10n$ vertices, $30n$ edges, and…
In practice symmetries of combinatorial structures are computed by transforming the structure into an annotated graph whose automorphisms correspond exactly to the desired symmetries. An automorphism solver is then employed to compute the…
We present recent advances in harmonic analysis on infinite graphs. Our approach combines combinatorial tools with new results from the theory of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space, geometry, boundary constructions, and spectral…
Inspired by notorious combinatorial optimization problems on graphs, in this paper we consider a series of related problems defined using a metric space and topology determined by a graph. Particularly, we present the Independent Set,…

Let a $A$ be the 1-skeleton of a triangulated topological annulus. We establish bounds on the combinatorial modulus of a refinement $A'$, formed by attaching new vertices and edges to $A$, that depend only on the refinement and not on the…
We introduce the framework of path-complete graph Lyapunov functions for approximation of the joint spectral radius. The approach is based on the analysis of the underlying switched system via inequalities imposed among multiple Lyapunov…
We define the independence ratio and the chromatic number for bounded, self-adjoint operators on an L^2-space by extending the definitions for the adjacency matrix of finite graphs. In analogy to the Hoffman bounds for finite graphs, we…
High dimensional expanders simultaneously satisfying spectral and combinatorial (coboundary) expansion have recently played a major role in breakthroughs in PCP and coding theory, but the only known construction of such complexes is…
