We propose a simple and efficient local algorithm for graph isomorphism which succeeds for a large class of sparse graphs. This algorithm produces a low-depth canonical labeling, which is a labeling of the vertices of the graph that…

Clustering is indispensable for data analysis in many scientific disciplines. Detecting clusters from heavy noise remains challenging, particularly for high-dimensional sparse data. Based on graph-theoretic framework, the present paper…

This paper provides a new strategy for the Heterogeneous Change Detection (HCD) problem: solving HCD from the perspective of Graph Signal Processing (GSP). We construct a graph for each image to capture the structure information, and treat…

The adaptive voter model allows for studying the interplay between homophily, the tendency of like-minded individuals to attract each other, and social influence, the tendency for connected individuals to influence each other. However, it…

We construct a smooth locally finite Borel graph $G$ and a local coloring problem $\Pi$ such that $G$ has a coloring $V(G) \to \mathbb{N}$ that solves $\Pi$, but no such coloring can be Borel.

This paper introduces a tractable model to study incentive-compatible homophily under both external environments--such as exogenous shocks or policy constraints--and internal micromotives based on interactive attributes. We propose a set of…

Homophily, the tendency of individuals to connect with others who share similar attributes, is a defining feature of social networks. Understanding how groups interact, both within and across, is crucial for uncovering the dynamics of…

For a list-assignment $L$, the reconfiguration graph $C_L(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are proper $L$-colorings of $G$ and whose edges link two colorings that differ on only one vertex. If $|L(v)| \ge d(v) + 2$ for every…

Homophily, the tendency of nodes from the same class to connect, is a fundamental property of real-world graphs, underpinning structural and semantic patterns in domains such as citation networks and social networks. Existing methods…

A colouring of a graph G is called distinguishing if its stabiliser in Aut G is trivial. It has been conjectured that, if every automorphism of a locally finite graph moves infinitely many vertices, then there is a distinguishing…

We investigate the algorithmic problems of the {\it homophyly phenomenon} in networks. Given an undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ and a vertex coloring $c \colon V \rightarrow {1, 2, ..., k}$ of $G$, we say that a vertex $v\in V$ is {\it happy}…
