The shift-enabled property of an underlying graph is essential in designing distributed filters. This article discusses when a random graph is shift-enabled. In particular, popular graph models ER, WS, BA random graph are used, weighted and…
In this note we examine the following random graph model: for an arbitrary graph $H$, with quadratic many edges, construct a graph $G$ by randomly adding $m$ edges to $H$ and randomly coloring the edges of $G$ with $r$ colors. We show that…
We introduce a measure of {\em greedy connectivity} for geographical networks (graphs embedded in space) and where the search for connecting paths relies only on local information, such as a node's location and that of its neighbors.…
The Heilmann-Lieb Theorem on (univariate) matching polynomials states that the polynomial $\sum_k m_k(G) y^k$ has only real nonpositive zeros, in which $m_k(G)$ is the number of $k$-edge matchings of a graph $G$. There is a stronger…
We study the repartition of the roots of a random p-adic polynomial in an algebraic closure of Qp.We prove that the mean number of roots generating a fixed finite extension K of Qp depends mostly on the discriminant of K, an extension…
It is known for many algorithmic problems that if a tree decomposition of width $t$ is given in the input, then the problem can be solved with exponential dependence on $t$. A line of research by Lokshtanov, Marx, and Saurabh [SODA 2011]…
The restricted edge-connectivity of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\lambda^{\prime}(G)$, if it exists, is the minimum cardinality of a set of edges whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected and each component with at least 2 vertices. It…
A graph is maximal knotless if it is edge maximal for the property of knotless embedding in $R^3$. We show that such a graph has at least $\frac74 |V|$ edges, and construct an infinite family of maximal knotless graphs with $|E| <…
This work will appear as a chapter in a forthcoming volume titled `Topics in Probabilistic Graph Theory'. For a given graph $G$, each partition of the vertices has a modularity score, with higher values indicating that the partition better…
We raise some questions about graph polynomials, highlighting concepts and phenomena that may merit consideration in the development of a general theory. Our questions are mainly of three types: When do graph polynomials have reduction…
The \emph{Antimagic Graph Conjecture} asserts that every connected graph $G = (V, E)$ except $K_2$ admits an edge labeling such that each label $1, 2, ..., |E|$ is used exactly once and the sums of the labels on all edges incident with a…
Let $\tau(G)$ and $\tau_G(e)$ be the number of spanning trees of a connected graph $G$ and the number of spanning trees of $G$ containing edge $e$. The ratio $d_{G}(e)=\tau_{G}(e)/\tau(G)$ is called the spanning tree edge density of $e$, or…
A graph $G$ is called equiarboreal if the number of spanning trees containing a given edge in $G$ is independent of the choice of edge. In [Combinatorica 1(2) (1981) 163--167], Godsil proved that any graph which is a colour class in an…
An important question in statistical network analysis is how to estimate models of discrete and dependent network data with intractable likelihood functions, without sacrificing computational scalability and statistical guarantees. We…
We establish tight lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in traceable graphs in several classes of dense graphs. A graph is traceable if it has a Hamiltonian path. We show that the bound is: - quadratic for the class of graphs of…
In this paper, we present some properties on chromatic polynomials of hypergraphs which do not hold for chromatic polynomials of graphs. We first show that chromatic polynomials of hypergraphs have all integers as their zeros and contain…
A graph is called (generically) rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if, for any choice of sufficiently generic edge lengths, it can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a finite number of distinct ways, modulo rigid transformations. Here we deal with the…
We consider the probability model of edge-fault tolerance of a network in the sense of connectivity with link faults. Using graph-theoretical notation, we define the edge-fault (EF) and Menger-type edge-fault (MEF) tolerances of a graph as…
A two-terminal graph is a graph G equipped with two vertices in V(G) called terminals. Let T(n,m) be the set of two-terminal graphs on n vertices and m edges. Let G be in T(n,m) and let p be in [0,1]. The two-terminal reliability of G at p,…
Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…
