The problem of detecting edge correlation between two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ unlabeled nodes can be formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are sampled independently; under the…

We use the concept of a Kirchhoff resistor network (alternatively random walk on a network) to probe connected graphs and produce symmetry revealing canonical labelings of the graph(s) nodes and edges.

Research in transportation frequently involve modelling and predicting attributes of events that occur at regular intervals. The event could be arrival of a bus at a bus stop, the volume of a traffic at a particular point, the demand at a…

We propose a new procedure for testing whether two networks are edge-correlated through some latent vertex correspondence. The test statistic is based on counting the co-occurrences of signed trees for a family of non-isomorphic trees. When…

We introduce a framework for network analysis based on random walks on directed acyclic graphs where the probability of passing through a given node is the key ingredient. We illustrate its use in evaluating the mutual influence of nodes…

Grouping the nodes of a graph into clusters is a standard technique for studying networks. We study a problem where we are given a directed network and are asked to partition the graph into a sequence of coherent groups. We assume that…

The relations, rather than the elements, constitute the structure of networks. We therefore develop a systematic approach to the analysis of networks, modelled as graphs or hypergraphs, that is based on structural properties of…
