We study the inertia of distance matrices of weighted graphs. Our novel congruence-based proof of the inertia of weighted trees extends to a proof for the inertia of weighted unicyclic graphs whose cycle is a triangle. Partial results are…
Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between embedded graphs and present a metric to measure the distance between two geometric…
Phylogenetic trees are a central tool in understanding evolution. They are typically inferred from sequence data, and capture evolutionary relationships through time. It is essential to be able to compare trees from different data sources…
Metric dimensions and metric basis are graph invariants studied for their use in locating and indexing nodes in a graph. It was recently established that for bicyclic graph of type-III ($\Theta $-graphs), the metric dimension is $3$ only,…
In p-median location interdiction the aim is to find a subset of edges in a graph, such that the objective value of the p-median problem in the same graph without the selected edges is as large as possible. We prove that this problem is…
We review measures of street network structure proposed in the recent literature, establish their relevance to practice, and identify open challenges facing researchers. These measures' empirical values vary substantially across world…
In data analysis, there is a strong demand for graph metrics that differ from the classical shortest path and resistance distances. Recently, several new classes of graph metrics have been proposed. This paper presents some of them…
We study an abstract notion of tree structure which lies at the common core of various tree-like discrete structures commonly used in combinatorics: trees in graphs, order trees, nested subsets of a set, tree-decompositions of graphs and…
Graphs are interesting structures: extremely useful to depict real-life problems, extremely easy to understand given a sketch, extremely complicated to represent formally, extremely complicated to compare. Phylogeny is the study of the…
Based on solid theoretical foundations, we present strong evidences that a number of real-life networks, taken from different domains like Internet measurements, biological data, web graphs, social and collaboration networks, exhibit…
Metric learning has the aim to improve classification accuracy by learning a distance measure which brings data points from the same class closer together and pushes data points from different classes further apart. Recent research has…
We consider random binary trees that appear as the output of certain standard algorithms for sorting and searching if the input is random. We introduce the subtree size metric on search trees and show that the resulting metric spaces…
In this paper two new graph operations are introduced, and with them the S-trees are studied in depth. This allows to find \(\{-1,0,1\}\)-basis for all the fundamental subspaces of the adjacency matrix of any tree, and to understand in…
In this work we study the interleaving distance between merge trees from a combinatorial point of view. We use a particular type of matching between trees to obtain a novel formulation of the distance. With such formulation, we tackle the…
The problem of realizing finite metric spaces in terms of weighted graphs has many applications. For example, the mathematical and computational properties of metrics that can be realized by trees have been well-studied and such research…
This article presents a new way to understand the descriptive ability of tree shape statistics. Where before tree shape statistics were chosen by their ability to distinguish between macroevolutionary models, the ``resolution'' presented in…
Understanding the criteria that bicyclists apply when they choose their routes is crucial for planning new bicycle paths or recommending routes to bicyclists. This is becoming more and more important as city councils are becoming…
Ultametrics are an important class of distances used in applications such as phylogenetics, clustering and classification theory. Ultrametrics are essentially distances that can be represented by an edge-weighted rooted tree so that all of…
We introduce a new intrinsic metric in subdomains of a metric space and give upper and lower bounds for it in terms of well-known metrics. We also prove distortion results for this metric under quasiregular maps.
The main purpose of this paper is to find the fixed point in such cases where existing literature remain silent. In this paper we introduce partial completeness, a new type of contraction and many other definitions. Using this approach the…
