Consider a connected graph $G=(E,V)$ with $N=|V|$ vertices. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the question of uniform sampling of a subtree of $G$ with $n$ nodes, for some $n\leq N$ (the spanning tree case correspond to $n=N$,…

We introduce a new method for finding network motifs: interesting or informative subgraph patterns in a network. Subgraphs are motifs when their frequency in the data is high compared to the expected frequency under a null model. To compute…
