Consider the following problem: given a graph with edge costs and a subset Q of vertices, find a minimum-cost subgraph in which there are two edge-disjoint paths connecting every pair of vertices in Q. The problem is a failure-resilient…
We find explicit formulas for the probabilities of general boundary visit events for planar loop-erased random walks, as well as connectivity events for branches in the uniform spanning tree. We show that both probabilities, when suitably…
Bounded infinite graphs are defined on the basis of natural physical requirements. When specialized to trees this definition leads to a natural conjecture that the average connectivity dimension of bounded trees cannot exceed two. We verify…
We consider the problem of constructing optimal decision trees: given a collection of tests which can disambiguate between a set of $m$ possible diseases, each test having a cost, and the a-priori likelihood of the patient having any…
The transport properties of a disordered two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice are examined numerically using the spectral approach to the quantum percolation problem, characterized by an Anderson-type Hamiltonian. In our simulations,…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ red and blue points in the plane, a \emph{planar bichromatic spanning tree} of $P$ is a spanning tree of $P$, such that each edge connects between a red and a blue point, and no two edges intersect. In the bottleneck…
We perform numerical simulations to study the optimal path problem on disordered hierarchical graphs with effective dimension d=2.32. Therein, edge energies are drawn from a disorder distribution that allows for positive and negative…
Many combinatorial problems can be solved in time $O^*(c^{tw})$ on graphs of treewidth $tw$, for a problem-specific constant $c$. In several cases, matching upper and lower bounds on $c$ are known based on the Strong Exponential Time…
We introduce the minimum labelling spanning bi-connected subgraph problem (MLSBP) replacing connectivity by bi-connectivity in the well known minimum labelling spanning tree problem (MLSTP). A graph is bi-connected if, for every two…
The Minimum Linear Arrangement problem (MLA) consists of finding a mapping $\pi$ from vertices of a graph to distinct integers that minimizes $\sum_{\{u,v\}\in E}|\pi(u) - \pi(v)|$. In that setting, vertices are often assumed to lie on a…
Large graphs abound in machine learning, data mining, and several related areas. A useful step towards analyzing such graphs is that of obtaining certain summary statistics - e.g., or the expected length of a shortest path between two…
Consider a connected graph $G$ and let $T$ be a spanning tree of $G$. Every edge $e \in G-T$ induces a cycle in $T \cup \{e\}$. The intersection of two distinct such cycles is the set of edges of $T$ that belong to both cycles. We consider…
We show that the geometry of minimum spanning trees (MST) on random graphs is universal. Due to this geometric universality, we are able to characterise the energy of MST using a scaling distribution ($P(\epsilon)$) found using uniform…
Random spanning trees of a graph $G$ are governed by a corresponding probability mass distribution (or "law"), $\mu$, defined on the set of all spanning trees of $G$. This paper addresses the problem of choosing $\mu$ in order to utilize…
We study shortest paths and spanning trees of complex networks with random edge weights. Edges which do not belong to the spanning tree are inactive in a transport process within the network. The introduction of quenched disorder modifies…
We consider lower bounds on the number of spanning trees of connected graphs with degree bounded by $d$. The question is of interest because such bounds may improve the analysis of the improvement produced by memorisation in the runtime of…
The problem of computing minimally sparse solutions of under-determined linear systems is $NP$ hard in general. Subsets with extra properties, may allow efficient algorithms, most notably problems with the restricted isometry property (RIP)…
The Euclidean Steiner tree problem, normally posed in two dimensions, seeks to connect a set of prescribed terminal nodes by placing additional nodes, known as Steiner points, with edges connecting such nodes either to another Steiner point…
A symbolic-computational algorithm, fully implemented in Maple, is described, that computes explicit expressions for generating functions that enable the efficient computations of the expectation, variance, and higher moments, of the random…
This paper investigates the problem of regression model generation. A model is a superposition of primitive functions. The model structure is described by a weighted colored graph. Each graph vertex corresponds to some primitive function.…
