Graph clustering discovers groups or communities within networks. Deep learning methods such as autoencoders (AE) extract effective clustering and downstream representations but cannot incorporate rich structural information. While Graph…
Hierarchical models of scale free networks are introduced where numbers of nodes in clusters of a given hierarchy are stochastic variables. Our models show periodic oscillations of degree distribution P(k) in the log-log scale. Periods and…
We study the problem of partitioning the vertex set of a given graph so that each part induces a graph with components of bounded order; we are also interested in restricting these components to be paths. In particular, we say a graph $G$…
We propose a degree-based coarse graining approach that not just accelerates the evaluation of dynamics on complex networks, but also satisfies the consistency conditions for both equilibrium statistical distributions and nonequilibrium…
Lov\'asz (1967) showed that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they are homomorphism indistinguishable over all graphs, i.e., $G$ and $H$ admit the same number of number of homomorphisms from every graph $F$.…
Link prediction on graphs is a fundamental problem. Subgraph representation learning approaches (SGRLs), by transforming link prediction to graph classification on the subgraphs around the links, have achieved state-of-the-art performance…
The gradient noise (GN) in the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm is often considered to be Gaussian in the large data regime by assuming that the \emph{classical} central limit theorem (CLT) kicks in. This assumption is often made…
In the field of complex networks and graph theory, new results are typically tested on graphs generated by a variety of algorithms such as the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model or the Barab\'{a}si-Albert model. Unfortunately, most graph generating…
Recent theoretical studies have shown that heavy-tails can emerge in stochastic optimization due to `multiplicative noise', even under surprisingly simple settings, such as linear regression with Gaussian data. While these studies have…

Large graphs are sometimes studied through their degree sequences (power law or regular graphs). We study graphs that are uniformly chosen with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions, it is shown that sequences of such graphs have…

A random geometric digraph $G_n$ is constructed by taking $\{X_1,X_2,... X_n\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ independently at random with a common bounded density function. Each vertex $X_i$ is assigned at random a sector $S_i$ of central angle…
Given an edge-weighted graph and a set of known seed vertices, a network scientist often desires to understand the graph relationships to explain connections between the seed vertices. When the seed set is 3 or larger Steiner minimal tree -…
Real-world networks evolve over time via additions or removals of vertices and edges. In current network evolution models, vertex degree varies or grows arbitrarily. A recently introduced degree-preserving network growth (DPG) family of…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often perform better for high-degree nodes than low-degree nodes on node classification tasks. This degree bias can reinforce social marginalization by, e.g., privileging celebrities and other high-degree actors…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved impressive performance when testing and training graph data come from identical distribution. However, existing GNNs lack out-of-distribution generalization abilities so that their performance…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable success across diverse tasks. However, their generalization capability is often hindered by spurious correlations between node features and labels in the graph. Our analysis reveals…
Tree-decompositions and treewidth are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The "spread" of a tree-decomposition is the minimum integer $s$ such that every vertex lies in at most $s$ bags. A…
This paper considers a network of stochastic evidence accumulators, each represented by a drift-diffusion model accruing evidence towards a decision in continuous time by observing a noisy signal and by exchanging information with other…
