Graph sampling theory extends the traditional sampling theory to graphs with topological structures. As a key part of the graph sampling theory, subset selection chooses nodes on graphs as samples to reconstruct the original signal. Due to…

In this paper we investigate the $directed$ $normalizing$ $graph$ associated with a group $G$, defined as the simple directed graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, with an arrow from $x$ to $y$ whenever the subgroup $\langle x…

There is an important parameter in control theory which is closely related to the directed matching ratio of the network, as shown by Liu, Slotine and Barab\'asi (2011). We give proofs on two main statements of that paper on the directed…

We consider the fundamental problems of determining the rooted and global edge and vertex connectivities (and computing the corresponding cuts) in directed graphs. For rooted (and hence also global) edge connectivity with small integer…

Inspired by the recent developments in the fields of quantum distributed computing, quantum systems are analyzed as networks of quantum nodes to reduce the complexity of the analysis. This gives rise to the distributed quantum consensus…

Connectivity of temporal graphs has been widely studied both as graph theory and as gossip theory. In particular, it is well known that in order to connect every vertex to every other, a temporal graph needs to have at least $2n-4$ edges…
