Redundancy needs more precise characterization as it is a major factor in the evolution and robustness of networks of multivariate interactions. We investigate the complexity of such interactions by inferring a connection transitivity that…
Proposing an effective and flexible matrix to represent a graph is a fundamental challenge that has been explored from multiple perspectives, e.g., filtering in Graph Fourier Transforms. In this work, we develop a novel and general…
Despite the wide application of Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), one major limitation is that it does not benefit from the increasing depth and suffers from the oversmoothing problem. In this work, we first characterize this phenomenon…
This article investigates the connectivity dimension of a graph. We introduce this concept in analogy to the metric dimension of a graph, providing a graph parameter that measures the heterogeneity of the connectivity structure of a graph.…
A graph with $n$ vertices is an $f(\cdot)$-dense graph if it has at least $f(n)$ edges, $f(\cdot)$ being a well-defined function. The notion $f(\cdot)$-dense graph encompasses various clique models like $\gamma$-quasi cliques, $k$-defective…
The component size of a graph is the maximum number of edges in any connected component of the graph. Given a graph $G$ and two integers $k$ and $c$, $(k,c)$-Decomposition is the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits an edge partition into…
Subgraph densities play a crucial role in network analysis, especially for the identification and interpretation of meaningful substructures in complex graphs. Localized subgraph densities, in particular, can provide valuable insights into…
In recent work, the second and third authors introduced a technique for reachability checking in 1-bounded Petri nets, based on wiring decompositions, which are expressions in a fragment of the compositional algebra of nets with boundaries.…
Treewidth is a parameter that measures how tree-like a relational instance is, and whether it can reasonably be decomposed into a tree. Many computation tasks are known to be tractable on databases of small treewidth, but computing the…
How can the `affinity' or `strength' of ties of a random graph be characterized and compactly represented? How can concepts like Fourier and inverse-Fourier like transform be developed for graph data? To do so, we introduce a new…
Treewidth is a graph parameter of fundamental importance to algorithmic and structural graph theory. This paper surveys several graph parameters tied to treewidth, including separation number, tangle number, well-linked number and Cartesian…
Massive networks have shown that the determination of dense subgraphs, where vertices interact a lot, is necessary in order to visualize groups of common interest, and therefore be able to decompose a big graph into smaller structures. Many…
We introduce structured decompositions, category-theoretic structures which simultaneously generalize notions from graph theory (including treewidth, layered treewidth, co-treewidth, graph decomposition width, tree independence number,…
In the vast landscape of visualization research, Dimensionality Reduction (DR) and graph analysis are two popular subfields, often essential to most visual data analytics setups. DR aims to create representations to support neighborhood and…
Among all characteristics exhibited by natural and man-made networks the small-world phenomenon is surely the most relevant and popular. But despite its significance, a reliable and comparable quantification of the question `how small is a…

For finite graphs, path-width is an interesting and useful concept, but if we extend it to infinite graphs in the most obvious way (by making the indexing path infinite), it does not work nicely. The simplest extension that works nicely is…
