Graph-level representations are crucial tools for characterising structural differences between graphs. However, comparing graphs with different cardinalities, even when sampled from the same underlying distribution, remains challenging.…

Interactions and relations between objects may be pairwise or higher-order in nature, and so network-valued data are ubiquitous in the real world. The "space of networks", however, has a complex structure that cannot be adequately described…

A network-theoretic approach for determining the complexity of a graph is proposed. This approach is based on the relationship between the linear algebra (theory of determinants) and the graph theory. In this paper we contribute a new…

We develop the theory of linear evolution equations associated with the adjacency matrix of a graph, focusing in particular on infinite graphs of two kinds: uniformly locally finite graphs as well as locally finite line graphs. We discuss…

Graph rigidity, the study of vertex realizations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and the motions that preserve the induced edge lengths, has been the focus of extensive research for decades. Its equivalency to graph connectivity for $d=1$ is well known;…

A general formulation of zero curvature connections in a principle bundle is presented and some applications are discussed. It is proved that a related connection based on a prolongation in an associated bundle remains zero curvature as…

Several examples and models based on noncommutative differential calculi on commutative algebras indicate that a metric should be regarded as an element of the left-linear tensor product of the space of 1-forms with itself. We show how the…

Graphs can be associated with a matrix according to some rule and we can find the spectrum of a graph with respect to that matrix. Two graphs are cospectral if they have the same spectrum. Constructions of cospectral graphs help us…

The aim of the present article is to give an overview of spectral theory on metric graphs guided by spectral geometry on discrete graphs and manifolds. We present the basic concept of metric graphs and natural Laplacians acting on it and…

A graph is a structure composed of a set of vertices (i.e.nodes, dots) connected to one another by a set of edges (i.e.links, lines). The concept of a graph has been around since the late 19$^\text{th}$ century, however, only in recent…

As an algebraic study of differential equations, differential algebras have been studied for a century and and become an important area of mathematics. In recent years the area has been expended to the noncommutative associative and Lie…

In this article, we revisit and expand our prior work on graph similarity. As with our earlier work, we focus on a view of similarity which does not require node correspondence between graphs under comparison. Our work is suited to the…

Two-sample tests utilizing a similarity graph on observations are useful for high-dimensional and non-Euclidean data due to their flexibility and good performance under a wide range of alternatives. Existing works mainly focused on sparse…

This is a survey of some of the consequences of the recently introduced congruences on the theory of connectednesses (radical classes) and disconnectednesses (semisimple classes) of graphs and topological spaces. In particular, it is shown…

We investigate straight-line drawings of topological graphs that consist of a planar graph plus one edge, also called almost-planar graphs. We present a characterization of such graphs that admit a straight-line drawing. The…

Analytic torsion is a functional on graphs which only needs linear algebra to be defined. In the continuum it corresponds to the Ray-Singer analytic torsion. We have formulas for analytic torsion if the graph is contractible or if it is a…
