In this short note we provide a proof of boundedness of solutions for a network system composed of heterogeneous nonlinear autonomous systems interconnected over a directed graph. The sole assumptions imposed are that the systems are…

In this paper, we investigate normal trees of directed graphs, which extend the fundamental concept of normal trees of undirected graphs. We prove that a directed graph $D$ has a normal spanning tree if and only if the topological space…

Constructions of directed configuration graphs based on a given bi-degree distribution were introduced in random graph theory some years ago. These constructions lead to graphs where the degrees of two nodes belonging to the same edge are…

Broadcasting and convergecasting are pivotal services in distributed systems, in particular, in wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks, which are characterized by time- varying communication graphs. We study the question of whether it is…

Message broadcasting in networks could be carried over spanning trees. A set of spanning trees in the same network is node independent if two conditions are satisfied. First, all trees are rooted at node $r$. Second, for every node $u$ in…

We give a livelock free routing algorithm for any allowed network. Unlike some other solutions to this problem: 1) packets entering the network have an absolute upper bound on the time to reach their destination; 2) under light loads,…

This paper explores the conditions for determining fixed nodes in structured networks, specifically focusing on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). We introduce several necessary and sufficient conditions for determining fixed nodes in…

Given a graph, does there exist an orientation of the edges such that the resulting directed graph is strongly connected? Robbins' theorem [Robbins, Am. Math. Monthly, 1939] states that such an orientation exists if and only if the graph is…

We present two short proofs for Diestel's criterion that a connected graph has a normal spanning tree provided it contains no subdivision of a countable clique in which every edge has been replaced by uncountably many parallel edges.

This paper presents several algorithms for hashing directed graphs. The algorithms given are capable of hashing entire graphs as well as assigning hash values to specific nodes in a given graph. The notion of node symmetry is made precise…

Highly dynamic networks are characterized by frequent changes in the availability of communication links. These networks are often partitioned into several components, which split and merge unpredictably. We present a distributed algorithm…

Today's communication networks have stringent availability requirements and hence need to rapidly restore connectivity after failures. Modern networks thus implement various forms of fast reroute mechanisms in the data plane, to bridge the…

Probabilistic message-passing algorithms are developed for routing transmissions in multi-wavelength optical communication networks, under node and edge-disjoint routing constraints and for various objective functions. Global routing…

Semidirected networks have received interest in evolutionary biology as the appropriate generalization of unrooted trees to networks, in which some but not all edges are directed. Yet these networks lack proper theoretical study. We define…

Arboreal networks are a generalization of rooted trees, defined by keeping the tree-like structure, but dropping the requirement for a single root. Just as the class of cographs is precisely the class of undirected graphs that can be…

Given two distributions F and G on the nonnegative integers we propose an algorithm to construct in- and out-degree sequences from samples of i.i.d. observations from F and G, respectively, that with high probability will be graphical, that…

We consider labelings of a finite regular tree by a finite alphabet subject to restrictions specified by a nonnegative transition matrix, propose an algorithm for determining whether the set of possible configurations on the last row of the…

The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we improve known parameterized algorithms and…

This paper presents new graph-theoretic conditions for structural target controllability of directed networks. After reviewing existing conditions and highlighting some gaps in the literature, we introduce a new class of network systems,…

This paper studies the problem of designing networks that are strong structurally controllable, and robust simultaneously. For given network specifications, including the number of nodes $N$, the number of leaders $N_L$, and diameter $D$,…
