Let $G$ be a graph of minimum degree at least two with no induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_{1,6}$. We prove that if $G$ is not isomorphic to one of eight exceptional graphs, then it is possible to assign two-element subsets of…

Counting dominating sets in a graph $G$ is closely related to the neighborhood complex of $G$. We exploit this relation to prove that the number of dominating sets $d(G)$ of a graph is determined by the number of complete bipartite…

It is well-known that the pancake graphs are widely used as models for interconnection networks \cite{Akers}. In this paper, some properties of the pancake graphs are investigated. We first prove that the pancake graph, denoted by $P_n…

In this work, the ability to distinguish digraphs from the output response of some observing agents in a multi-agent network under the agreement protocol has been studied. Given a fixed observation point, it is desired to find sufficient…

A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…

We demonstrate that graph-based models are fully capable of representing higher-order interactions, and have a long history of being used for precisely this purpose. This stands in contrast to a common claim in the recent literature on…

Graph-walking automata (GWA) are a model for graph traversal using finite-state control: these automata move between the nodes of an input graph, following its edges. This paper investigates the effect of node-replacement graph…

We continue the study of the properties of graphs in which the ball of radius $r$ around each vertex induces a graph isomorphic to the ball of radius $r$ in some fixed vertex-transitive graph $F$, for various choices of $F$ and $r$. This is…

One important question in neuroscience is how global behavior in a brain network emerges from the interplay between network connectivity and the neural dynamics of individual nodes. To better understand this theoretical relationship, we…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we study the digraph associated to the map $x\mapsto x^n h(x^{\frac{q-1}{m}})$, where $h(x)\in\mathbb{F}_q[x].$ We completely determine…

Given a graph $G$, we define ${\bf bcg}(G)$ as the minimum $k$ for which $G$ can be contracted to the uniformly triangulated grid $\Gamma_{k}$. A graph class ${\cal G}$ has the SQG${\bf C}$ property if every graph $G\in{\cal G}$ has…

We show that almost all circulant graphs have automorphism groups as small as possible. Of the circulant graphs that do not have automorphism group as small as possible, we give some families of integers such that it is not true that almost…

This paper studies causal inference with observational data from a single large network. We consider a nonparametric model with interference in both potential outcomes and selection into treatment. Specifically, both stages may be the…

Graphlets are small connected induced subgraphs of a larger graph $G$. Graphlets are now commonly used to quantify local and global topology of networks in the field. Methods exist to exhaustively enumerate all graphlets (and their orbits)…

Conduction graphs are defined here in order to elucidate at a glance the often complicated conduction behaviour of molecular graphs as ballistic molecular conductors. The graph $G^{\mathrm C}$ describes all possible conducting devices…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach that employs kinetic equations to describe the collective dynamics emerging from graph-mediated pairwise interactions in multi-agent systems. We formally show that for large graphs and specific…

A graph $\G$ is {\em symmetric} or {\em arc-transitive} if its automorphism group $\Aut(\G)$ is transitive on the arc set of the graph, and $\G$ is {\em basic} if $\Aut(\G)$ has no non-trivial normal subgroup $N$ such that the quotient…

We study the number of non-isomorphic functional graphs of affine-linear transformations from (\F_q)^n to itself, and we prove upper and lower bounds on this quantity for n large. As a corollary to our result, we prove bounds on the number…

Complex networks exhibit a wide range of collective dynamic phenomena, including synchronization, diffusion, relaxation, and coordination processes. Their asymptotic dynamics is generically characterized by the local Jacobian, graph…

Dessins d'enfants are combinatorial structures on compact Riemann surfaces defined over algebraic number fields, and regular dessins are the most symmetric of them. If G is a finite group, there are only finitely many regular dessins with…
