Analysis of Internet topologies has shown that the Internet topology has negative curvature, measured by Gromov's "thin triangle condition", which is tightly related to core congestion and route reliability. In this work we analyze the…

This paper presents a new look at the neural network (NN) robustness problem, from the point of view of graph theory analysis, specifically graph curvature. Graph curvature (e.g., Ricci curvature) has been used to analyze system dynamics…

The importance of studying properties of networks is manifest in diverse fields ranging from biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, neuroscience, and medicine. The functionality of networks with regard to performance, throughput,…

Metros (heavy rail transit systems) are integral parts of urban transportation systems. Failures in their operations can have serious impacts on urban mobility, and measuring their robustness is therefore critical. Moreover, as physical…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved great success in many graph-based tasks. Much work is dedicated to empowering GNNs with the adaptive locality ability, which enables measuring the importance of neighboring nodes to the target node…

Understanding and characterizing the vulnerability of urban infrastructures, which refers to the engineering facilities essential for the regular running of cities and that exist naturally in the form of networks, is of great value to us.…

In the present work, we study the properties of biological networks by applying analogous notions of fundamental concepts in Riemannian geometry and optimal mass transport to discrete networks described by weighted graphs. Specifically, we…

Robustness is a critical measure of the resilience of large networked systems, such as transportation and communication networks. Most prior works focus on the global robustness of a given graph at large, e.g., by measuring its overall…

In real networks complex topological features are often associated with a diversity of interactions as measured by the weights of the links. Moreover, spatial constraints may as well play an important role, resulting in a complex interplay…

Major cities worldwide experience problems with the performance of their road transportation networks, and the continuous increase in traffic demand presents a substantial challenge to the optimal operation of urban road networks and the…

Many critical infrastructure systems have network structure and are under stress. Despite their national importance, the complexity of large-scale transport networks means we do not fully understand their vulnerabilities to cascade…

Graph Ricci curvature is crucial as it geometrically quantifies network structure. It pinpoints bottlenecks via negative curvature, identifies cohesive communities with positive curvature, and highlights robust hubs. This guides network…

Motivated by the methods and results of manifold sampling based on Ricci curvature, we propose a similar approach for networks. To this end we make appeal to three types of discrete curvature, namely the graph Forman-, full Forman- and…

Urban road networks are typical complex systems, which are crucial to our society and economy. In this study, topological characteristics of a number of urban road networks based on purely physical roads rather than routes of vehicles or…

The study of network robustness is a critical tool in the characterization and sense making of complex interconnected systems such as infrastructure, communication and social networks. While significant research has been conducted in all of…

We propose a new graph kernel for graph classification and comparison using Ollivier Ricci curvature. The Ricci curvature of an edge in a graph describes the connectivity in the local neighborhood. An edge in a densely connected…

In this paper, we study the crucial elements of complex networks, namely nodes, and edges and their properties such as their community structure, which play an important role in dictating the robustness of the network towards structural…

During the last decade, road network vulnerability assessment has received an increasing attention. On one hand, it is due to the significant advances in Network Science and the potentialities that its tools offer. On the other hand, it is…

A novel method to identify salient computational paths within randomly wired neural networks before training is proposed. The computational graph is pruned based on a node mass probability function defined by local graph measures and…

A crucial challenge in network theory is the study of the robustness of a network after facing a sequence of failures. In this work, we propose a dynamical definition of network's robustness based on Information Theory, that considers…
