The graph theoretic concept of maximal independent set arises in several practical problems in computer science as well as in game theory. A maximal independent set is defined by the set of occupied nodes that satisfy some packing and…
The independence numbers of powers of graphs have been long studied, under several definitions of graph products, and in particular, under the strong graph product. We show that the series of independence numbers in strong powers of a fixed…
In this paper, we study the average size of independent (vertex) sets of a graph. This invariant can be regarded as the logarithmic derivative of the independence polynomial evaluated at $1$. We are specifically concerned with extremal…
Parameter testing algorithms are using constant number of queries to estimate the value of a certain parameter of a very large finite graph. It is well-known that graph parameters such as the independence ratio or the edit-distance from…
We determine to within a constant factor the threshold for the property that two random k-uniform hypergraphs with edge probability p have an edge-disjoint packing into the same vertex set. More generally, we allow the hypergraphs to have…
Signed graphs are studied since the middle of the last century. Recently, the notion of homomorphism of signed graphs has been introduced since this notion captures a number of well known conjectures which can be reformulated using the…
This paper analyzes independence concepts for sets of probability measures associated with directed acyclic graphs. The paper shows that epistemic independence and the standard Markov condition violate desirable separation properties. The…
In this paper we give an improved upper bound, as compared to the one given in [3] for the number of extreme points of the convex set of all G-invariant probability measures on X*Y with given marginals of full support.
Persistent homology, a technique from computational topology, has recently shown strong empirical performance in the context of graph classification. Being able to capture long range graph properties via higher-order topological features,…
We prove an upper bound for the independence number of a graph in terms of the largest Laplacian eigenvalue, and of a certain induced subgraph. Our bound is a refinement of a well-known Hoffman-type bound.
A graph $G$ is $H$-covered by some given graph $H$ if each vertex in $G$ is contained in a copy of $H$. In this note, we give the maximum number of independent sets of size $t\ge 3$ in $K_n$-covered graphs of size $N\ge n+t-1$ and determine…
We study stable conditional measures for a certain equilibrium measure for hyperbolic endomorphisms, on basic sets with overlaps; we show that these conditional measures are geometric probabilities and measures of maximal stable dimension.…
This paper systematically studies the behavior of the leading eigenvectors for independent edge undirected random graphs generated from a general latent position model whose link function is possibly infinite rank and also possibly…
We analyze a class of piecewise linear parabolic maps on the torus, namely those obtained by considering a linear map with double eigenvalue one and taking modulo one in each component. We show that within this two parameter family of maps,…
In this paper, we propose two novel approaches for hypergraph comparison. The first approach transforms the hypergraph into a graph representation for use of standard graph dissimilarity measures. The second approach exploits the…
We give nearly optimal bounds on the sample complexity of $(\widetilde{\Omega}(\epsilon),\epsilon)$-tolerant testing the $\rho$-independent set property in the dense graph setting. In particular, we give an algorithm that inspects a random…
In this paper we prove Morse index theorems for a big class of constrained variational problems on graphs. Such theorems are useful in various physical and geometric applications. Our formulas compute the difference of Morse indices of two…
In this note we analyze two algorithms, one for producing a matching and one for an independent set, on $k$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraphs of large girth. As a result we obtain new lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching or…
We prove an asymptotically tight lower bound on the average size of independent sets in a triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $d$, showing that an independent set drawn uniformly at random from such a graph has expected…
Shearer's inequality bounds the sum of joint entropies of random variables in terms of the total joint entropy. We give another lower bound for the same sum in terms of the individual entropies when the variables are functions of…
