The search of spanning trees with interesting disjunction properties has led to the introduction of edge-disjoint spanning trees, independent spanning trees and more recently completely independent spanning trees. We group together these…

We study the inertia of distance matrices of weighted graphs. Our novel congruence-based proof of the inertia of weighted trees extends to a proof for the inertia of weighted unicyclic graphs whose cycle is a triangle. Partial results are…

For a graph $G$, let $\tau(G)$ denote the number of spanning trees. We show that for every fixed $0 < c < 1/4$, the number of distinct values of $\tau(G)$, as $G$ ranges over simple graphs on $n$ vertices, is at least $\exp(c n \log n)$ for…

A rooted tree is balanced if the degree of a vertex depends only on its distance to the root. In this paper we determine the sharp threshold for the appearance of a large family of balanced spanning trees in the random geometric graph…

In this paper, we investigate how local rules enforced at every node can influence the topology of a network. More precisely, we establish several results on the diameter of trees as a function of the number of nodes, as listed below. These…

In spatial networks vertices are arranged in some space and edges may cross. When arranging vertices in a 1-dimensional lattice edges may cross when drawn above the vertex sequence as it happens in linguistic and biological networks. Here…

Given a set of points in the plane, we want to establish a connection network between these points that consists of several disjoint layers. Motivated by sensor networks, we want that each layer is spanning and plane, and that no edge is…

The Minimum Spanning Tree with Conflicting Edge Pairs is a generalization that adds conflict constraints to a classical optimization problem on graphs used to model several real-world applications. In the last few years several approaches,…

We describe the structure of those graphs that have largest spectral radius in the class of all connected graphs with a given degree sequence. We show that in such a graph the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of…

For $d\ge 2$ and an odd prime power $q$, consider the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the distance between two points $(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ and $(y_1,\ldots,y_d)$ is defined as $\sum_{i=1}^d…

Large graphs abound in machine learning, data mining, and several related areas. A useful step towards analyzing such graphs is that of obtaining certain summary statistics - e.g., or the expected length of a shortest path between two…

Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…

A metric tree ($M$, $d$), also known as $\mathbb{R}$-trees or $T$-theory, is a metric space such that between any two points there is an unique arc and that arc is isometric to an interval in $\mathbb{R}$. In this paper after presenting…

Graphs can be associated with a matrix according to some rule and we can find the spectrum of a graph with respect to that matrix. Two graphs are cospectral if they have the same spectrum. Constructions of cospectral graphs help us…

Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between embedded graphs and present a metric to measure the distance between two geometric…

Rotation distances measure the differences in structure between rooted ordered binary trees. The one-dimensional skeleta of associahedra are rotation graphs, where two vertices representing trees are connected by an edge if they differ by a…

We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…

Cayley's formula states that there are $n^{n-2}$ spanning trees in the complete graph on $n$ vertices; it has been proved in more than a dozen different ways over its 150 year history. The complete graphs are a special case of threshold…

We construct a sequence of finite graphs that weakly converge to a Cayley graph, but there is no labelling of the edges that would converge to the corresponding Cayley diagram. A similar construction is used to give graph sequences that…

We propose a novel technique, termed compact shape trees, for computing correspondences of single-boundary 2-D shapes in O(n2) time. Together with zero or more features defined at each of n sample points on the shape's boundary, the compact…
