In this paper, we study the task of detecting the edge dependency between two weighted random graphs. We formulate this task as a simple hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the two observed graphs are statistically…
In this paper, matching pairs of random graphs under the community structure model is considered. The problem emerges naturally in various applications such as privacy, image processing and DNA sequencing. A pair of randomly generated…
A large driver of the complexity of graph learning is the interplay between structure and features. When analyzing the expressivity of graph neural networks, however, existing approaches ignore features in favor of structure, making it…
We consider 15 properties of labeled random graphs that are of interest in the graph-theoretical and the graph mining literature, such as clustering coefficients, centrality measures, spectral radius, degree assortativity, treedepth,…
Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructible if they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured…
Property testing algorithms are highly efficient algorithms, that come with probabilistic accuracy guarantees. For a property P, the goal is to distinguish inputs that have P from those that are far from having P with high probability…
Graph learning from data represents a canonical problem that has received substantial attention in the literature. However, insufficient work has been done in incorporating prior structural knowledge onto the learning of underlying…
The definition of $1$-planar graphs naturally extends graph planarity, namely a graph is $1$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. Unfortunately, while testing graph planarity is solvable in linear time,…
Homophily is a graph property describing the tendency of edges to connect similar nodes. There are several measures used for assessing homophily but all are known to have certain drawbacks: in particular, they cannot be reliably used for…
Assume that a graph $G$ models a detection system for a facility with a possible ``intruder," or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. We consider the problem of placing detectors at a subset of vertices in $G$…
The connectivity of a graph is an important parameter to evaluate its reliability. $k$-restricted connectivity (resp. $R^h$-restricted connectivity) of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of vertices in $G$, if exists, whose…
Consider a graph drawn on a surface (for example, the plane minus a finite set of obstacle points), possibly with crossings. We provide an algorithm to decide whether such a drawing can be untangled, namely, if one can slide the vertices…
We introduce a new graph-theoretic concept in the area of network monitoring. A set $M$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a \emph{distance-edge-monitoring set} if for every edge $e$ of $G$, there is a vertex $x$ of $M$ and a vertex $y$ of $G$…
The all-terminal reliability of a graph $G$ is the probability that $G$ remains connected when each edge fails independently with probability $p$. For fixed $n$ and $m$, the uniformly most reliable problem asks which graph with $n$ vertices…
We give a construction for a self-test for any connected graph state. In other words, for each connected graph state we give a set of non-local correlations that can only be achieved (quantumly) by that particular graph state and certain…
A graph is concave-round if its vertices can be circularly enumerated so that the closed neighbourhood of each vertex is an interval in the enumeration. In this work, we give a minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterization for the…
Consider property testing on bounded degree graphs and let $\varepsilon>0$ denote the proximity parameter. A remarkable theorem of Newman-Sohler (SICOMP 2013) asserts that all properties of planar graphs (more generally hyperfinite) are…
Treewidth is a parameter that emerged from the study of minor closed classes of graphs (i.e. classes closed under vertex and edge deletion, and edge contraction). It in some sense describes the global structure of a graph. Roughly, a graph…
We study the connections between the notions of combinatorial discrepancy and graph degeneracy. In particular, we prove that the maximum discrepancy over all subgraphs $H$ of a graph $G$ of the neighborhood set system of $H$ is sandwiched…
Graphs are naturally sparse objects that are used to study many problems involving networks, for example, distributed learning and graph signal processing. In some cases, the graph is not given, but must be learned from the problem and…
