For undirected graphs, the Ricci curvature introduced by Lin-Lu-Yau has been widely studied from various perspectives, especially geometric analysis. In the present paper, we discuss generalization problem of their Ricci curvature for…

We study the class of potential games that are also graphical games with respect to a given graph $G$ of connections between the players. We show that, up to strategic equivalence, this class of games can be identified with the set of…

Leavitt path algebras are free algebras subject to relations induced by directed graphs. This paper investigates the ideals of Leavitt path algebras, with an emphasis on the relationship between graph-theoretic properties of a directed…

We define a family of vertex colouring games played over a pair of graphs or digraphs $(G,H)$ by players $\forall$ and $\exists$. These games arise from work on a longstanding open problem in algebraic logic. It is conjectured that there is…

A well-known combinatorial theorem says that a set of n non-collinear points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that this theorem extends to metric spaces, with an appropriated definition of…

For each graph on two vertices, and each divisor on the graph in the sense of Baker-Norine, we describe a sheaf of vector spaces on a finite category whose zeroth Betti number is the Baker-Norine "Graph Riemann-Roch" rank of the divisor…

In this paper we explore mathematical tools that can be used to relate directed and undirected random graph models to each other. We identify probability spaces on which a directed and an undirected graph model are equivalent, and…

String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about physical processes, logic circuits, tensor networks, and many other compositional structures. The distinguishing feature of these diagrams is that edges need not be connected to…

Regular games form a well-established class of games for analysis and synthesis of reactive systems. They include coloured Muller games, McNaughton games, Muller games, Rabin games, and Streett games. These games are played on directed…

We introduce a way to parameterize automata and games on finite graphs with natural numbers. The parameters are accessed essentially by allowing counting down from the parameter value to 0 and branching depending on whether 0 has been…

We investigate structural and algorithmic advantages of a directed version of the well-researched class of distance-hereditary graphs. Since the previously defined distance-hereditary digraphs do not permit a recursive structure, we define…

Jim Propp recently proposed a labeled version of chip-firing on a line and conjectured that this process is confluent from some initial configurations. This was proved by Hopkins-McConville-Propp. We reinterpret Propp's labeled chip-firing…

Directed graphs have long been used to gain understanding of the structure of semigroups, and recently the structure of directed graph semigroups has been investigated resulting in a characterization theorem and an analog of Fruct's…

The inductive biases of graph representation learning algorithms are often encoded in the background geometry of their embedding space. In this paper, we show that general directed graphs can be effectively represented by an embedding model…

We introduce the concept of a family of finite directed graphs (\emph{positive integer order,} $f(x) = mx + c; x,m \in \Bbb N$ and $c \in \Bbb N_0)$ which are directed graphs derived from an infinite directed graph called the $f(x)$-root…

The authors of this paper have used the theory of Riordan matrices to introduce the notion of a Riordan graph in \cite{CJKM}. Riordan graphs are proved to have a number of interesting (fractal) properties, and they are a far-reaching…

We consider constrained variants of graph homomorphisms such as embeddings, monomorphisms, full homomorphisms, surjective homomorpshims, and locally constrained homomorphisms. We also introduce a new variation on this theme which derives…

For the classical backward induction algorithm, the input is an arbitrary $n$-person positional game with perfect information modeled by a finite acyclic directed graph (digraph) and the output is a profile $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ of pure…

Graph-limit theory focuses on the convergence of sequences of graphs when the number of nodes becomes arbitrarily large. This framework defines a continuous version of graphs allowing for the study of dynamical systems on very large graphs,…

We define the analogue of linear equivalence of graph divisors for the rotor-router model, and use it to prove polynomial time computability of some problems related to rotor-routing. Using the connection between linear equivalence for…
