Urban morphology and socioeconomic aspects of cities have been explored by analysing urban street network. To analyse the network, several variations of the centrality indices are often used. However, its nature has not yet been widely…
In this work we investigate the betweenness centrality in geographical networks and its relationship with network communities. We show that vertices with large betweenness define what we call characteristic betweenness paths in both modeled…
Structural analysis in network science is finding the information hidden from the topology structure of complex networks. Many methods have already been proposed in the research on the structural analysis of complex networks to find the…
Social studies researchers use graphs to model group activities in social networks. An important property in this context is the centrality of a vertex: the inverse of the average distance to each other vertex. We describe a randomized…
For intractable problems on graphs of bounded treewidth, two graph parameters treedepth and vertex cover number have been used to obtain fine-grained complexity results. Although the studies in this direction are successful, we still need a…
We provide a proof of Sholander's claim (Trees, lattices, order, and betweenness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 3, 369-381 (1952)) concerning the representability of collections of so-called segments by trees, which yields a characterization of…
We perform the first axiomatic analysis of medial centrality measures. These measures, also called betweenness-like centralities, assess the role of a node in connecting others in the network. We focus on a setting with one target node and…
One of the more recent measures of centrality in social network analysis is the normalized harmonic centrality. A variant of the closeness centrality, harmonic centrality sums the inverse of the geodesic distances of each node to other…
Centrality, in some sense, captures the extent to which a vertex controls the flow of information in a network. Here, we propose Local Detour Centrality as a novel centrality-based betweenness measure that captures the extent to which a…
We study notions of hyperuniformity for invariant locally square-integrable point processes in regular trees. We show that such point processes are never geometrically hyperuniform, and if the diffraction measure has support in the…
We establish maximal trees and graphs for the difference of average distance and proximity proving thus the corresponding conjecture posed in [4]. We also establish maximal trees for the difference of average eccentricity and remoteness and…
We investigate properties of node centrality in random growing tree models. We focus on a measure of centrality that computes the maximum subtree size of the tree rooted at each node, with the most central node being the tree centroid. For…
The twin-width of a graph measures its distance to co-graphs and generalizes classical width concepts such as tree-width or rank-width. Since its introduction in 2020 (Bonnet et. al. 2020), a mass of new results has appeared relating twin…
Betweenness centrality is one of the most popular vertex centrality measures in network analysis. Hence, many (sequential and parallel) algorithms to compute or approximate betweenness have been devised. Recent algorithmic advances have…
This paper studies the structure of graphs with given tree-width and excluding a fixed complete bipartite subgraph, which generalises the bounded degree setting. We give a new structural description of such graphs in terms of so-called…
We prove that if a graph has a tree-decomposition of width at most w, then it has a tree-decomposition of width at most w with certain desirable properties. We will use this result in a subsequent paper to show that every 2-connected graph…
In this paper, we give a constructive proof of the fact that the treewidth of a graph is at most its divisorial gonality. The proof gives a polynomial time algorithm to construct a tree decomposition of width at most $k$, when an effective…
An effective way to reduce clutter in a graph drawing that has (many) crossings is to group edges that travel in parallel into \emph{bundles}. Each edge can participate in many such bundles. Any crossing in this bundled graph occurs between…
We consider three probability measures on subsets of edges of a given finite graph $G$, namely those which govern, respectively, a uniform forest, a uniform spanning tree, and a uniform connected subgraph. A conjecture concerning the…
A visibility representation of a graph $G$ is an assignment of the vertices of $G$ to geometric objects such that vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding objects are "visible" each other, that is, there is an uninterrupted…
