We prove an explicit formula of hitting times in terms of enumerations of spanning trees for random walks on general connected graphs. We apply the formula to improve Lawler's bound of hitting times for general graphs, prove a sharp bound…
The paper presents two results. The first one provides separate conditions for the upper and lower estimate of the distribution of the exit time from balls of a random walk on a weighted graph. The main result of the paper is that the lower…
In this paper we introduce a spectra preserving relation between graphs with loops and graphs without loops. This relation is achieved in two steps. First, by generalizing spectra results got on (m, k)-stars to a wider class of graphs, the…
A notion of random walks for circle packings is introduced. The geometry behind this notion is discussed, together with some applications. In particular, we obtain a short proof of a result regarding the type problem for circle packings,…
We introduce a natural notion of mean (or average) distance in the context of compact metric graphs, and study its relation to geometric properties of the graph. We show that it exhibits a striking number of parallels to the reciprocal of…
Random walks on regular bounded degree expander graphs have numerous applications. A key property of these walks is that they converge rapidly to the uniform distribution on the vertices. The recent study of expansion of high dimensional…
Let G be a graph with n vertices and mu(G) be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G. We study how large mu(G) can be when G does not contain cycles and paths of specified order. In particular, we determine the maximum spectral…
The spectral density of random graphs with topological constraints is analysed using the replica method. We consider graph ensembles featuring generalised degree-degree correlations, as well as those with a community structure. In each case…
Collatz and Sinogowitz had proposed to measure the departure of a graph $G$ from regularity by the difference of the (adjacency) spectral radius and the average degree: $\epsilon(G)=\rho(G)-\frac{2m}{n}$. We give here new lower bounds on…
Let $\mathcal{G}_{n, \beta^*}$ $(\mathcal{G}^*_{n,\beta^*})$ be the set of all (connected) graphs of order $n$ with fractional matching number $\beta^*$. In this paper, the graphs with maximal spectral radius in $\mathcal{G}_{n,\beta^*}$…
Consider $n$ points distributed uniformly in $[0,1]^d$. Form a graph by connecting two points if their mutual distance is no greater than $r(n)$. This gives a random geometric graph, $\gnrn$, which is connected for appropriate $r(n)$. We…
We generalize the notion of quasirandom which concerns a class of equivalent properties that random graphs satisfy. We show that the convergence of a graph sequence under the spectral distance is equivalent to the convergence using the…
The study of spectral graph determination is a fascinating area of research in spectral graph theory and algebraic combinatorics. This field focuses on examining the spectral characterization of various classes of graphs, developing methods…
We derive several upper bounds on the spectral gap of the Laplacian with standard or Dirichlet vertex conditions on compact metric graphs. In particular, we obtain estimates based on the length of a shortest cycle (girth), diameter, total…
We approach the problem of counting the number of walks in a digraph from three different perspectives: enumerative combinatorics, linear algebra, and symbolic dynamics.
We consider a hierarchy of graph invariants that naturally extends the spectral invariants defined by F\"urer (Lin. Alg. Appl. 2010) based on the angles formed by the set of standard basis vectors and their projections onto eigenspaces of…
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 note, we try to analyze and clarify the intriguing interplay between some counting problems related to specific thermalized weighted graphs and random walks consistent with such graphs.
We prove upper bounds on the graph diameters of polytopes in two settings. The first is a worst-case bound for polytopes defined by integer constraints in terms of the height of the integers and certain subdeterminants of the constraint…
The range, local times, and periodicity of symmetric, weakly asymmetric and asymmetric random walks at the time of exit from a strip with $N$ locations are considered. Several results on asymptotic distributions are obtained.
