The optimization problem of the minimum set of leaders for the controllability of undirected graphs are addressed. It is difficult to find not only its optimal solution but also its approximate algorithm. We propose a new concept, namely…

Minimal controllability problem plays an important role in the field of network control. A New concept-Minimum Perfect Critical Set (MPCS)is proposed. Four different MPCSs were found for k-distant tree graphs. Based on this concept of MPCS,…

The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set of a graph. By applying a particular scheme, we ensure that the resulting graph is…

Let $G$ be a simple, undirected graph on the vertex set $V=\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$ and let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $G.$ A non-empty subset $ \{i_{1},i_{2},\ldots ,i_{k}\}$ of $V$ is called a driver set for $G$ if the system…

In this paper, controllability of systems defined on graphs is discussed. We consider the problem of controllability of the network for a family of matrices carrying the structure of an underlying directed graph. A one-to-one correspondence…

This paper is concerned with the controllability problem of a connected threshold graph following the Laplacian dynamics. An algorithm is proposed to generate a spanning set of orthogonal Laplacian eigenvectors of the graph from a…

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set has at least one neighbor in the set. The problem of counting dominating sets is #P-complete for chordal graphs but solvable in polynomial time for its…

Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…

We study the minimum dominating set problem as a representative combinatorial optimization challenge with a global topological constraint. The requirement that the backbone induced by the vertices of a dominating set should be a connected…

Edge-Geodetic Sets play a crucial role in network monitoring and optimization, wherein the goal is to strategically place monitoring stations on vertices of a network, represented as a graph, to ensure complete coverage of edges and…

In the context of the chromatic-number problem, a critical graph is an instance where the deletion of any element would decrease the graph's chromatic number. Such instances have shown to be interesting objects of study for deepen the…

A minimum dominating set for a digraph (directed graph) is a smallest set of vertices such that each vertex either belongs to this set or has at least one parent vertex in this set. We solve this hard combinatorial optimization problem…

The feedback set problems are about removing the minimum number of vertices or edges from a graph to break all its cycles. Much effort has gone into understanding their complexity on planar graphs as well as on graphs of bounded degree. We…

In this technical note, we study the controllability of diffusively coupled networks from a graph theoretic perspective. We consider leader-follower networks, where the external control inputs are injected to only some of the agents, namely…

Locating-dominating codes have been studied widely since their introduction in the 1980s by Slater and Rall. In this paper, we concentrate on vertices that must belong to all minimum locating-dominating codes in a graph. We call them…

In a network consisting of n nodes, our goal is to identify the most central k nodes with respect to the proposed definitions of centrality. Depending on the specific application, there exist several metrics for quantifying k-centrality,…

We study the problem of optimal leader selection in consensus networks under two performance measures (1) formation coherence when subject to additive perturbations, as quantified by the steady-state variance of the deviation from the…

A dominating set D in a graph G is a subset of its vertices such that every vertex of the graph which does not belong to set D is adjacent to at least one vertex from set D. A set of vertices of graph G is a global dominating set if it is a…

In this paper, we propose to study on sufficient control of complex networks which is to control a sufficiently large portion of the network, where only the quantity of controllable nodes matters. To the best of our knowledge, this is the…

We consider the NP-complete problem of tracking paths in a graph, first introduced by Banik et. al. [3]. Given an undirected graph with a source $s$ and a destination $t$, find the smallest subset of vertices whose intersection with any…
