The gonality of a graph measures how difficult it is to move chips around the entirety of a graph according to certain chip-firing rules without introducing debt. In this paper we study the gonality of circulant graphs, a class of…
We present a shared memory implementation of a parallel algorithm, called delta-stepping, for solving the single source shortest path problem for directed and undirected graphs. In order to reduce synchronization costs we make some…
In 1992, Bitar and Goles introduced the parallel chip-firing game on undirected graphs. Two years later, Prisner extended the game to directed graphs. While the properties of parallel chip-firing games on undirected graphs have been…
This paper provides a friendly introduction to chip-firing games and graph gonality. We use graphs coming from the five Platonic solids to illustrate different tools and techniques for studying these games, including independent sets,…
We pose a new and intriguing question motivated by distributed computing regarding random walks on graphs: How long does it take for several independent random walks, starting from the same vertex, to cover an entire graph? We study the…
We study connected graphs with a fixed degree sequence, in the sparse setting where the number of edges grows linearly in the number of vertices. Using the relation to the configuration model, we identify the number of such connected graphs…
Chip-firing is a combinatorial game played on a graph, in which chips are placed and dispersed on the vertices until a stable configuration is achieved. We study a chip-firing variant on an infinite, rooted directed $k$-ary tree, where we…
The Prisoner's Dilemma Process on a graph $G$ is an iterative process where each vertex, with a fixed strategy (cooperate or defect), plays the game with each of its neighbours. At the end of a round each vertex may change its strategy to…
We consider a class of graph-valued stochastic processes in which each vertex has a type that fluctuates randomly over time. Collectively, the paths of the vertex types up to a given time determine the probabilities that the edges are…
We develop a model for a random walker with long-range hops on general graphs. This random multi-hopper jumps from a node to any other node in the graph with a probability that decays as a function of the shortest-path distance between the…
In this paper we study the behavior of maximum out/in-degree of binomial/Poisson random scaled sector graphs in the presence of random vertex and edge faults. We prove that the probability distribution of maximum degrees for random faulty…
In this work we present a dynamic analysis tool for analyzing regions of code and how those regions depend between each other via data dependencies encountered during the execution of the program. We also present an abstract method to…
The subgraph enumeration problem asks us to find all subgraphs of a target graph that are isomorphic to a given pattern graph. Determining whether even one such isomorphic subgraph exists is NP-complete---and therefore finding all such…
The degree sequence of a graph is a numerical method to characterize the properties of graphs. Generalized forms of degree sequences exist for complete graphs and complete graphs. Nikolopolus et al. characterized the number of spanning…
A scramble on a connected multigraph is a collection of connected subgraphs that generalizes the notion of a bramble. The maximum order of a scramble, called the scramble number of a graph, was recently developed as a tool for lower…
We made the chaotic circuit proposed by Chua and the memristic circuit proposed by Muthuswamy and Chua, and analyzed the behavior of the voltage of the capacitor, electric current in the inductor and the voltage of the memristor by adding…
The divisorial gonality of a graph is the minimum degree of a positive rank divisor on that graph. We introduce the multiplicity-free gonality of a graph, which restricts our consideration to divisors that place at most \(1\) chip on each…
We study the cycles generated by the chip firing game associated with n-cube orientations. We show the existence of the cycles generated by parallel evolutions of even lengths from 2 to $2^n$ on $H_n$ (n >= 1), and of odd lengths different…
We investigate the random dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and the dynamics of semigroups of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that regarding random complex dynamics of polynomials, in most cases, the chaos of the…
A pile-scramble shuffle is one of the most effective shuffles in card-based cryptography. Indeed, many card-based protocols are constructed from pile-scramble shuffles. This article aims to study the power of pile-scramble shuffles. In…
