In this study, we take a systematic look at the unrealised part of public transport networks (PTNs) with functional connections. We consider their complement graphs and study their structure. The complement graph $\bar G$ of an unweighted…
Node embedding is a powerful approach for representing the structural role of each node in a graph. $\textit{Node2vec}$ is a widely used method for node embedding that works by exploring the local neighborhoods via biased random walks on…
Random walk centrality is a fundamental metric in graph mining for quantifying node importance and influence, defined as the weighted average of hitting times to a node from all other nodes. Despite its ability to capture rich graph…
We present a general framework to generate trees every vertex of which has a non-negative weight and a color. The colors are used to impose certain restrictions on the weight and colors of other vertices. We first extend the enumeration…
We address problem of determining edge weights on a graph using non-backtracking closed walks from a vertex. We show that the weights of all of the edges can be determined from any starting vertex exactly when the graph has minimum degree…
We study the mixing rate of non-backtracking random walks on graphs by looking at non-backtracking walks as walks on the directed edges of a graph. A result known as Ihara's Theorem relates the adjacency matrix of a graph to a matrix…
We consider directed weighted graphs and define various families of path counting functions. Our main results are explicit formulas for the main term of the asymptotic growth rate of these counting functions, under some irrationality…
The article provides an explicit algebraic expression for the generating function of walks on graphs. Its proof is based on the scattering theory for the differential Laplace operator on non-compact graphs.
In this paper we introduce the functional centrality as a generalization of the subgraph centrality. We propose a general method for characterizing nodes in the graph according to the number of closed walks starting and ending at the node.…
Many widely used network centralities are based on counting walks that meet specific criteria. This paper introduces a systematic framework for walk enumeration using generating functions. We introduce a first-passage decomposition that…
In the field of enumeration of weighted walks confined to the quarter plane, it is known that the generating functions behave very differently depending on the chosen step set; in practice, the techniques used in the literature depend on…
Given a complete graph with positive weights on its edges, we define the weight of a subset of edges as the product of weights of the edges in the subset and consider sums (partition functions) of weights over subsets of various kinds:…
Entropies based on walks on graphs and on their line-graphs are defined. They are based on the summation over diagonal and off-diagonal elements of the thermal Green's function of a graph also known as the communicability. The walk…
Our objective is to sample the node set of a large unknown graph via crawling, to accurately estimate a given metric of interest. We design a random walk on an appropriately defined weighted graph that achieves high efficiency by…
Weighted graphs are ubiquitous throughout biology, chemistry, and the social sciences, motivating the development of generative models for abstract weighted graph data using deep neural networks. However, most current deep generative models…
In this work we consider two different aspects of weighted walks in cones. To begin we examine a particular weighted model, known as the Gouyou-Beauchamps model. Using the theory of analytic combinatorics in several variables we obtain the…
