Networks embedded in space can display all sorts of transitions when their structure is modified. The nature of these transitions (and in some cases crossovers) can differ from the usual appearance of a giant component as observed for the…
In this note we describe an application of low-high orders in fault-tolerant network design. Baswana et al. [DISC 2015] study the following reachability problem. We are given a flow graph $G = (V, A)$ with start vertex $s$, and a spanning…
The resiliency of a network is its ability to remain \emph{effectively} functioning also when any of its nodes or links fails. However, to reduce operational and set-up costs, a network should be small in size, and this conflicts with the…
The set of all permutations with $n$ symbols is a symmetric group denoted by $S_n$. A transposition tree, $T$, is a spanning tree over its $n$ vertices $V_T=${$1, 2, 3, \ldots n$} where the vertices are the positions of a permutation $\pi$…
Random scale-free networks are ultrasmall worlds. The average length of the shortest paths in networks of size N scales as lnlnN. Here we show that these ultrasmall worlds can be navigated in ultrashort time. Greedy routing on scale-free…
A sorting network is a shortest path from $12 \cdots n$ to $n \cdots 2 1$ in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group generated by adjacent transpositions. For a uniform random sorting network, we prove that in the global limit, particle…
We present analytical results for the distribution of shortest path lengths (DSPL) in a network growth model which evolves by node duplication (ND). The model captures essential properties of the structure and growth dynamics of social…
The main result here is a characterisation of binary $2$-neighbour-transitive codes with minimum distance at least $5$ via their minimal subcodes, which are found to be generated by certain designs. The motivation for studying this class of…
Many complex networks depend upon biological entities for their preservation. Such entities, from human cognition to evolution, must first encode and then replicate those networks under marked resource constraints. Networks that survive are…
In the bidirected minimum Manhattan network problem, given a set T of n terminals in the plane, we need to construct a network N(T) of minimum total length with the property that the edges of N(T) are axis-parallel and oriented in a such a…
The longest common extension problem is to preprocess a given string of length $n$ into a data structure that uses $S(n)$ bits on top of the input and answers in $T(n)$ time the queries $\mathit{LCE}(i,j)$ computing the length of the…
A phylogenetic network is a directed acyclic graph that visualises an evolutionary history containing so-called reticulations such as recombinations, hybridisations or lateral gene transfers. Here we consider the construction of a simplest…
The reconstruction problem for permutations on $n$ elements from their erroneous patterns which are distorted by transpositions is presented in this paper. It is shown that for any $n \geq 3$ an unknown permutation is uniquely…
We consider an arbitrary layered Gaussian relay network with $L$ layers of $N$ relays each, from which we select subnetworks with $K$ relays per layer. We prove that: (i) For arbitrary $L, N$ and $K = 1$, there always exists a subnetwork…
Consider the continuum of points along the edges of a network, i.e., a connected, undirected graph with positive edge weights. We measure the distance between these points in terms of the weighted shortest path distance, called the network…
The measurement called accessibility has been proposed as a means to quantify the efficiency of the communication between nodes in complex networks. This article reports important results regarding the properties of the accessibility,…
In this paper, we prove almost tight bounds on the size of sound monotone switching networks accepting permutations sets of directed trees. This roughly corresponds to proving almost tight bounds bounds on the monotone memory efficiency of…
Highly dynamic networks rarely offer end-to-end connectivity at a given time. Yet, connectivity in these networks can be established over time and space, based on temporal analogues of multi-hop paths (also called {\em journeys}).…
Let $S_n$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]$ and let $\sigma=\sigma_1\cdots\sigma_n\in S_n$. For a subsequence $\{\sigma_{i_j}\}_{j=1}^k$ of $\{\sigma_i\}_{i=1}^n$ of length $k\ge2$, construct the ``up/down'' sequence $V_1\cdots…
A superpermutation is a sequence that contains every permutation of $n$ distinct symbols as a contiguous substring. For instance, a valid example for three symbols is a sequence that contains all six permutations. This paper introduces a…
