Consensus over networked agents is typically studied using undirected or directed communication graphs. Undirected graphs enforce symmetry in information exchange, leading to convergence to the average of initial states, while directed…

In this paper, we study the maximum edge augmentation problem in directed Laplacian networks to improve their robustness while preserving lower bounds on their strong structural controllability (SSC). Since adding edges could adversely…

We study sublinear time algorithms for estimating the size of maximum matching in graphs. Our main result is a $(\frac{1}{2}+\Omega(1))$-approximation algorithm which can be implemented in $O(n^{1+\epsilon})$ time, where $n$ is the number…

Grouping the nodes of a graph into clusters is a standard technique for studying networks. We study a problem where we are given a directed network and are asked to partition the graph into a sequence of coherent groups. We assume that…

Spanner constructions focus on the initial design of the network. However, networks tend to improve over time. In this paper, we focus on the improvement step. Given a graph and a budget $k$, which $k$ edges do we add to the graph to…

In this paper we consider the $\mathcal{H}_2$-norm of networked systems with multi-time scale consensus dynamics. We develop a general framework for such systems that allows for edge weighting, independent agent-based time scales, as well…

We prove several results about chordal graphs and weighted chordal graphs by focusing on exposed edges. These are edges that are properly contained in a single maximal complete subgraph. This leads to a characterization of chordal graphs…

In this paper, we consider the weighted graph matching problem with partially disclosed correspondences between a number of anchor nodes. Our construction exploits recently introduced node signatures based on graph Laplacians, namely the…

This paper looks at the task of network topology inference, where the goal is to learn an unknown graph from nodal observations. One of the novelties of the approach put forth is the consideration of prior information about the density of…

We investigate robust linear consensus over networks under capacity-constrained communication. The capacity of each edge is encoded as an upper bound on the number of state variables that can be communicated instantaneously. When the edge…

The grounded Laplacian matrix $\LL_{-S}$ of a graph $\calG=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ nodes and $m=|E|$ edges is a $(n-s)\times (n-s)$ submatrix of its Laplacian matrix $\LL$, obtained from $\LL$ by deleting rows and columns corresponding to…

We give an algorithm for finding the arboricity of a weighted, undirected graph, defined as the minimum number of spanning forests that cover all edges of the graph, in $\sqrt{n} m^{1+o(1)}$ time. This improves on the previous best bound of…

Let $r \ge 2$ be a fixed constant and let $ {\mathcal H}$ be an $r$-uniform, $D$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices. Assume further that $ D \to \infty$ as $N \to \infty$ and that degrees of pairs of vertices in ${\mathcal H}$ are at most…

The total effective resistance, also called the Kirchhoff index, provides a robustness measure for a graph $G$. We consider two optimization problems of adding $k$ new edges to $G$ such that the resulting graph has minimal total effective…

Suppose there is a spreading process such as an infectious disease propagating on a graph. How would we reduce the number of affected nodes in the spreading process? This question appears in recent studies about implementing mobility…

In average consensus protocols, nodes in a network perform an iterative weighted average of their estimates and those of their neighbors. The protocol converges to the average of initial estimates of all nodes found in the network. The…

For a given graph $\mathcal{G}$ of order $n$ with $m$ edges, and a real symmetric matrix associated to the graph, $M\left(\mathcal{G}\right)\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, the interlacing graph reduction problem is to find a graph…

We study recovery of piecewise-constant signals on graphs by the estimator minimizing an $l_0$-edge-penalized objective. Although exact minimization of this objective may be computationally intractable, we show that the same statistical…

Network structure optimization is a fundamental task in complex network analysis. However, almost all the research on Bayesian optimization is aimed at optimizing the objective functions with vectorial inputs. In this work, we first present…

Inspired by studies on the airports' network and the physical Internet, we propose a general model of weighted networks via an optimization principle. The topology of the optimal network turns out to be a spanning tree that minimizes a…
