For a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ and edge $e\in E$, the effective resistance is defined as a ratio $\frac{\tau(G/e)}{\tau(G)}$, where $\tau(G)$ denotes the number of spanning trees in $G$. We resolve the inverse problem for the effective…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. The resistance distance $R_G(x,y)$ between two vertices $x,y$ of $G$ is defined to be the effective resistance between the two vertices in the corresponding…

We propose the notion of {\it resistance of a graph} as an accompanying notion of the structure entropy to measure the force of the graph to resist cascading failure of strategic virus attacks. We show that for any connected network $G$,…
