We propose an approach to quantize discrete networks (graphs with discrete edges). We introduce a new exact solution of discrete Schrodinger equation that is used to write the solution for quantum graphs. Formulation of the problem and…
We prove lower bounds for the fraction of edges of an $r$-graph which can be covered by the union of $k$ 1-factors. The special case $r=3$ yields some known results for cubic graphs. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of…
First, I introduce quantum graph theory. I also discuss a known lower bound on the independence numbers and derive from it an upper bound on the chromatic numbers of quantum graphs. Then, I construct a family of quantum graphs that can be…
We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…
Lov\'asz (1967) showed that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if and only if they are homomorphism indistinguishable over the class of all graphs, i.e. for every graph $F$, the number of homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$ equals the number…
We consider classes of arbitrary (finite or infinite) graphs of bounded shrub-depth, specifically the classes $\mathrm{TM}_r(d)$ of arbitrary graphs that have tree models of height $d$ and $r$ labels. We show that the graphs of…
In this article, we study sharp bounds for the Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on graphs. We first obtain monotonicity results for the Neumann eigenvalues on trees. In particular, we show that increasing any number of boundary…
We demonstrate that any self-adjoint coupling in a quantum graph vertex can be approximated by a family of magnetic Schroedinger operators on a tubular network built over the graph. If such a manifold has a boundary, Neumann conditions are…
We consider the boundary-path groupoids of topological higher-rank graphs. We show that the all such groupoids are topologically amenable. We deduce that the C*-algebras of topological higher-rank graphs are nuclear and prove versions of…
The Neumann points of an eigenfunction $f$ on a quantum (metric) graph are the interior zeros of $f'$. The Neumann domains of $f$ are the sub-graphs bounded by the Neumann points. Neumann points and Neumann domains are the counterparts of…
Let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum order (maximum number of codewords) of a $q$-ary code of length $n$ and Hamming distance at least $d$. And let $A(n,d,w)$ that of a binary code of constant weight $w$. Building on results from algebraic graph…
In his survey "Beyond graph energy: Norms of graphs and matrices" (2016), Nikiforov proposed two problems concerning characterizing the graphs that attain equality in a lower bound and in a upper bound for the energy of a graph,…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the number of eigenvalues of semi-bounded Schr\"odinger operators in all spatial dimensions. As a corollary, we obtain two-sided estimates for the sum of the negative eigenvalues of atomic Hamiltonians…
We present quantum complexity lower and upper bounds for independent set problems in graphs. In particular, we give quantum algorithms for computing a maximal and a maximum independent set in a graph. We present applications of these…
Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of curvature on geodesic spaces has been extended to discrete graph spaces by C. L{\'e}onard by replacing W2-Wasserstein geodesics by Schr{\"o}odinger bridges in the definition of entropic curvature [23, 25, 24].…
We define non-commutative versions of the vertex packing polytope, the theta convex body and the fractional vertex packing polytope of a graph, and establish a quantum version of the Sandwich Theorem of Gr\"{o}tschel, Lov\'{a}sz and…
One of the key results in Robertson and Seymour's seminal work on graph minors is the Grid-Minor Theorem (also called the Excluded Grid Theorem). The theorem states that for every grid $H$, every graph whose treewidth is large enough…
A celebrated theorem due to R. Frucht states that, roughly speaking, each group is isomorphic to the symmetry group of some graph. By "symmetry group" the group of all graph automorphisms is meant. We provide an analogue of this result for…
The Pathwidth Theorem states that if a class of graphs has unbounded pathwidth, then it contains all trees as graph minors. We prove a similar result for dense graphs. More precisely, we give a finite family of tree-like patterns and prove…
Consider a graph on the non-singular matrices over a finite field, in which two distinct non-singular matrices are joined by an edge whenever their sum is singular. We prove an upper bound for the independence number of this graph. As a…
