In this article we define a minor relation, which is stronger than the classical one, but too strong to become a well-quasi-order on the class of finite graphs. Nevertheless, with this terminology we are able to introduce a conjecture,…

Lipschitz learning is a graph-based semi-supervised learning method where one extends labels from a labeled to an unlabeled data set by solving the infinity Laplace equation on a weighted graph. In this work we prove uniform convergence…

The purpose of this paper is to develop a "calculus" on graphs that allows graph theory to have new connections to analysis. For example, our framework gives rise to many new partial differential equations on graphs, most notably a new…

An easy consequence of Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality is the following: if $f:[0,1]^d \rightarrow \infty$ is Lipschitz and $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_N \right\} \subset [0,1]^d$, then $$ \left| \int_{[0,1]^d} f(x) dx - \frac{1}{N}…

A complex unit gain graph ($ \mathbb{T} $-gain graph), $ \Phi=(G, \varphi) $ is a graph where the function $ \varphi $ assigns a unit complex number to each orientation of an edge of $ G $, and its inverse is assigned to the opposite…

In this paper, we consider the problem of approximately aligning/matching two graphs. Given two graphs $G_{1}=(V_{1},E_{1})$ and $G_{2}=(V_{2},E_{2})$, the objective is to map nodes $u, v \in G_1$ to nodes $u',v'\in G_2$ such that when $u,…

An $L(h_1, h_2, \ldots, h_l)$-labelling of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\phi: V(G) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2, \ldots\}$ such that for $1\le i\le l$ and each pair of vertices $u, v$ of $G$ at distance $i$, we have $|\phi(u) - \phi(v)| \geq h_i$.…
