We propose a new graph metric and study its properties. In contrast to the standard distance in connected graphs, it takes into account all paths between vertices. Formally, it is defined as d(i,j)=q_{ii}+q_{jj}-q_{ij}-q_{ji}, where q_{ij}…
We present a simple iterative strategy for measuring the connection strength between a pair of vertices in a graph. The method is attractive in that it has a linear complexity and can be easily parallelized. Based on an analysis of the…
Graphs are used in almost every scientific discipline to express relations among a set of objects. Algorithms that compare graphs, and output a closeness score, or a correspondence among their nodes, are thus extremely important. Despite…
A geometric graph is a combinatorial graph, endowed with a geometry that is inherited from its embedding in a Euclidean space. Formulation of a meaningful measure of (dis-)similarity in both the combinatorial and geometric structures of two…

In this paper we offer a metric similar to graph edit distance which measures the distance between two (possibly infinite)weighted graphs with finite norm (we define the norm of a graph as the sum of absolute values of its edges). The main…
The matrices of spanning rooted forests are studied as a tool for analysing the structure of digraphs and measuring their characteristics. The problems of revealing the basis bicomponents, measuring vertex proximity, and ranking from…

We analytically study proximity and distance properties of various kernels and similarity measures on graphs. This helps to understand the mathematical nature of such measures and can potentially be useful for recommending the adoption of…

Given a positive-weighted simple connected graph with $m$ vertices, labelled by the numbers $1,\ldots,m$, we can construct an $m \times m$ matrix whose entry $(i,j)$, for any $i,j\in\{1,\dots,m\}$, is the minimal weight of a path between…
The \emph{distance matrix} of a simple connected graph $G$ is $D(G)=(d_{ij})$, where $d_{ij}$ is the distance between the vertices $i$ and $j$ in $G$. We consider a weighted tree $T$ on $n$ vertices with edge weights are square matrix of…
Measuring similarity between RDF graphs is essential for various applications, including knowledge discovery, semantic web analysis, and recommender systems. However, traditional similarity measures often treat all properties equally,…
We equip the edges of a deterministic graph $H$ with independent but not necessarily identically distributed weights and study a generalized version of matchings (i.e. a set of vertex disjoint edges) in $H$ satisfying the property that…
The graph parameter vertex integrity measures how vulnerable a graph is to a removal of a small number of vertices. More precisely, a graph with small vertex integrity admits a small number of vertex removals to make the remaining connected…
We consider an edge-weighted uniform random graph with a given degree sequence (Repeated Configuration Model) which is a useful approximation for many real-world networks. It has been observed that the vertices which are separated from the…
