Temporal networks come with a wide variety of heterogeneities, from burstiness of event sequences to correlations between timings of node and link activations. In this paper, we set to explore the latter by using greedy walks as probes of…

We consider the problem of collective exploration of a known $n$-node edge-weighted graph by $k$ mobile agents that have limited energy but are capable of energy transfers. The agents are initially placed at an arbitrary subset of nodes in…

Increased attention has been paid over the last four years to dynamic network embedding. Existing dynamic embedding methods, however, consider the problem as limited to the evolution of a topology over a sequence of global, discrete states.…

We study the computability and complexity of the exploration problem in a class of highly dynamic graphs: periodically varying (PV) graphs, where the edges exist only at some (unknown) times defined by the periodic movements of carriers.…

A \emph{resolving set} $R$ in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is uniquely identified by its distances to the vertices of $R$. Introduced in the 1970s, this concept has been since then extensively studied from…

An Eulerian walk (or Eulerian trail) is a walk (resp. trail) that visits every edge of a graph $G$ at least (resp. exactly) once. This notion was first discussed by Leonhard Euler while solving the famous Seven Bridges of K\"{o}nigsberg…
