We study the probabilistic zero forcing process, a probabilistic variant of the classical zero forcing process. We show that for every connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, there exists an initial set consisting of a single vertex such that…

We propose an operational measure of information leakage in a non-stochastic setting to formalize privacy against a brute-force guessing adversary. We use uncertain variables, non-probabilistic counterparts of random variables, to construct…

Leaky waves are an important class of waves, particularly for guiding waves along structures embedded within another medium; a mismatch in wavespeeds often leads to leakage of energy from the waveguide, or interface, into the medium, which…

The decode-forward achievable region is studied for general networks. The region is subject to a fundamental tension in which nodes individually benefit at the expense of others. The complexity of the region depends on all the ways of…

We consider a problem of guessing, wherein an adversary is interested in knowing the value of the realization of a discrete random variable $X$ on observing another correlated random variable $Y$. The adversary can make multiple (say, $k$)…

Vertex coloring and multicoloring of graphs are a well known subject in graph theory, as well as their applications. In vertex multicoloring, each vertex is assigned some subset of a given set of colors. Here we propose a new kind of vertex…

Irredundance has been studied in the context of dominating sets, via the concept of private neighbor. Here irredundance of zero forcing sets is introduced via the concept of a private fort and the upper and lower zero forcing irrdedundance…

We study the strong structural controllability (SSC) of diffusively coupled networks, where the external control inputs are injected to only some nodes, namely the leaders. For such systems, one measure of controllability is the dimension…

The pressing game on black-and-white graphs is the following: Given a graph $G(V,E)$ with its vertices colored with black and white, any black vertex $v$ can be pressed, which has the following effect: (a) all neighbors of $v$ change color,…

Let $G$ be a graph. A zero-sum flow of $G$ is an assignment of non-zero real numbers to the edges of $G$ such that the sum of the values of all edges incident with each vertex is zero. Let $k$ be a natural number. A zero-sum $k$-flow is a…

In 2006, the fourth author proposed a graph-theoretic model of interface dynamics called competitive erosion. Each vertex of the graph is occupied by a particle that can be either red or blue. New red and blue particles alternately get…

The \emph{metric dimension} $\dim(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the chosen vertices. The \emph{zero forcing number} $Z(G)$ of a graph…

Let $G$ be a graph. The maximum nullity of $G$, denoted by $M(G)$, is defined to be the largest possible nullity over all real symmetric matrices $A$ whose $a_{ij}\neq 0$ for $i\neq j$, whenever two vertices $u_i$ and $u_j$ of $G$ are…

With the growing emphasis on users' privacy, federated learning has become more and more popular. Many architectures have been raised for a better security. Most architecture work on the assumption that data's gradient could not leak…

Error tolerance and attack vulnerability are two common and important properties of complex networks, which are usually used to evaluate the robustness of a network. Recently, much work has been devoted to determining the network design…

Crumpled paper or drapery patterns are everyday examples of how elastic sheets can respond to external forcing. In this Letter, we study experimentally a novel sort of forcing. We consider a circular flexible plate clamped at its center and…

Recently, the leaky diffusion least-mean-square (DLMS) algorithm has obtained much attention because of its good performance for high input eigenvalue spread and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, the leaky DLMS algorithm may suffer…

This paper presents an analytical framework to model fault-tolerance in unstructured peer-to-peer overlays, represented as complex networks. We define a distributed protocol peers execute for managing the overlay and reacting to node…

Integer forcing is an equalization scheme for the multiple-input multiple-output communication channel that has been demonstrated to allow operating close to capacity for "most" channels. In this work, the measure of "bad" channels is…

Given a graph $G$ and a real number $0\le p\le 1$, we define the random set $B_p(G)\subset V(G)$ by including each vertex independently and with probability $p$. We investigate the probability that the random set $B_p(G)$ is a zero forcing…
