The results of transportation infrastructure network analyses have been used to analyze complex networks in a topological context. However, most modeling approaches, including those based on complex network theory, do not fully account for…
This paper presents a derivation of the parallel transport equation expressed in the Lie algebra of a Lie group endowed with a left-invariant metric.The use of this equation is exemplified on the group of rigid body motions SE(3), using…
The motivation for this paper stems \cite{CR} from the need to construct explicit isomorphisms of (possibly nontrivial) principal $G$-bundles on the space of loops or, more generally, of paths in some manifold $M$, over which I consider a…
Recent evidence indicates that the abundance of recurring elementary interaction patterns in complex networks, often called subgraphs or motifs, carry significant information about their function and overall organization. Yet, the…
Many real-world complex networks contain a significant amount of structural redundancy, in which multiple vertices play identical topological roles. Such redundancy arises naturally from the simple growth processes which form and shape many…
This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(L,G) where L is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If L is a free abelian group of…
We consider simplicial complexes that are generated from the binomial random 3-uniform hypergraph by taking the downward-closure. We determine when this simplicial complex is homologically connected, meaning that its zero-th and first…
As a model of temporally evolving networks, we consider a globally coupled logistic map with variable connection weights. The model exhibits self-organization of network structure, reflected by the collective behavior of units. Structural…
For a locally path connected topological space, the topological fundamental group is discrete if and only if the space is semilocally simply-connected. While functoriality of the topological fundamental group for arbitrary topological…
This thesis investigates the central role of homomorphism problems (structure-preserving maps) in two complementary domains: database querying over finite, graph-shaped data, and constraint solving over (potentially infinite) structures.…
In this short note we give an elementary proof of the fact that connections and their geometric parallel-transport counterpart are equivalent notions.
Complex networks can be used to represent and model an ample diversity of abstract and real-world systems and structures. A good deal of the research on these structures has focused on specific topological properties, including node degree,…
Subgraphs and cycles are often used to characterize the local properties of complex networks. Here we show that the subgraph structure of real networks is highly time dependent: as the network grows, the density of some subgraphs remains…
We present a method to extract temporal hypergraphs from sequences of 2-dimensional functions obtained as solutions to Optimal Transport problems. We investigate optimality principles exhibited by these solutions from the point of view of…
This report presents three proofs showing that idealized architectures capable of navigation guided by allocentric maps with landmark structure can be computationally universal. The navigation may occur either online (in the environment) or…
We present an algorithm to compute path homology for simple digraphs, and use it to topologically analyze various small digraphs en route to an analysis of complex temporal networks which exhibit such digraphs as underlying motifs. The…
Latent variable models for network data extract a summary of the relational structure underlying an observed network. The simplest possible models subdivide nodes of the network into clusters; the probability of a link between any two nodes…
This paper mainly investigates why small-world networks are navigable and how to navigate small-world networks. We find that the navigability can naturally emerge from self-organization in the absence of prior knowledge about underlying…
The life of the modern world essentially depends on the work of the large artificial homogeneous networks, such as wired and wireless communication systems, networks of roads and pipelines. The support of their effective continuous…
Deterministic equilibrium flows in transport networks can be investigated by means of Markov's processes defined on the dual graph representations of the network. Sustained movement patterns are generated by a subset of automorphisms of the…
