For a connected graph $G$ with sink vertex $q$, a $G$-parking function is a vector of nonnegative integers whose entries are determined by cut-sets in $G$. Such objects also arise as the superstable configurations in the context of…

The problem of characterizing graphs by their generalized spectra has received significant attention in recent years. This paper provides a complete proof of a conjecture proposed by Wang, Wang, and Zhu (European J. Combin., 2023), which…

The goal of this note is to study integrable properties of a generating function of the HOMFLY-PT invariants of the Hopf link colored with different representations. We demonstrate that such a generating function is a $\tau$-function of the…

Let $\Phi(x,y)\in\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be a symmetric polynomial of partial degree $d$. The graph $G(\Phi)$ is defined by taking $\mathbb{C}$ as set of vertices and the points of $\mathbb{V}(\Phi(x,y))$ as edges. We study the following problem:…

Endowing the set of functional graphs (FGs) with the sum (disjoint union of graphs) and product (standard direct product on graphs) operations induces on FGs a structure of a commutative semiring R. The operations on R can be naturally…

Graphons $W$ can be used as stochastic models to sample graphs $G_n$ on $n$ nodes for $n$ arbitrarily large. A graphon $W$ is said to have the $H$-property if $G_n$ admits a decomposition into disjoint cycles with probability one as $n$…

We prove some functional equations involving the (classical) matching polynomials of path and cycle graphs and the $d$-matching polynomial of a cycle graph. A matching in a (finite) graph $G$ is a subset of edges no two of which share a…

Let $F_G(P)$ be a functional defined on the set of all the probability distributions on the vertex set of a graph $G$. We say that $G$ is \emph{symmetric with respect to $F_G(P)$} if the uniform distribution on $V(G)$ maximizes $F_G(P)$.…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $\mathcal{P}(G)$ a graph parameter. We say that $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is feasible if $\mathcal{P}(G)$ satisfies the following properties: (I) $\mathcal{P}(G)\leq \mathcal{P}(G_{uv})$, if $G_{uv}=G[u\to v]$ for…

To each finite frame $\varphi$ in an inner product space $\mathcal{H}$ we associate a simple graph $G(\varphi)$, called {\it frame graph}, with the vectors of the frame as vertices and there is an edge between vertices $f$ and $g$ provided…

The ordinary generating function of the number of complete subgraphs (cliques) of $G$, denoted by $C(G,x)$, is called the The clique polynomial of the graph $G$. In this paper, we first introduce some \emph{clique} incidence matrices…

In this paper, we are interested in algorithms that take in input an arbitrary graph $G$, and that enumerate in output all the (inclusion-wise) maximal "subgraphs" of $G$ which fulfil a given property $\Pi$. All over this paper, we study…

We show that the series of all walks between any two vertices of any (possibly weighted) directed graph $\mathcal{G}$ is given by a universal continued fraction of finite depth and breadth involving the simple paths and simple cycles of…

Parquet diagrams sum self-consistently Feynman graphs for the vertex function with all two-particle multiple scatterings. We show how the complete parquet equations for the Hubbard-like models can be integrated to a generating functional…

We propose high-order hypergraph walks as a framework to generalize graph-based network science techniques to hypergraphs. Edge incidence in hypergraphs is quantitative, yielding hypergraph walks with both length and width. Graph methods…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a powerful tool to learn representations on graphs by iteratively aggregating features from node neighbourhoods. Many variant models have been proposed, but there is limited understanding on both how to…

Let $F(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty\tau(n)x^n$ be the generating function for the number $\tau(n)$ of spanning trees in the circulant graphs $C_{n}(s_1,s_2,\ldots,s_k).$ We show that $F(x)$ is a rational function with integer coefficients…

We consider a refinement of the partition function of graph homomorphisms and present a quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute it in a certain domain. As a corollary, we obtain quasi-polynomial algorithms for computing partition functions…

In this paper we introduce a product-like operation that generalizes the construction of generalized Sierpi\'nski graphs. Let $G,H$ be graphs and let $f: V(G) \to V(H)$ be a function. Then the Sierpi\'nski product of $G$ and $H$ with…
