This article deals with the following simpler version of an open problem in system realization theory which has several important engineering applications: Given a collection of masses and a set of linear springs with a specified cost and…

We build on recent work of Yeats, Courtiel, and others involving connected chord diagrams. We first derive from a Hopf-algebraic foundation a class of tree-like functional equations and prove that they are solved by weighted generating…

Increasing the connectivity of a graph is a pivotal challenge in robust network design. The weighted connectivity augmentation problem is a common version of the problem that takes link costs into consideration. The problem is then to find…

Synchronization in dynamical systems on directed weighted networks is often associated with stronger coupling and denser interactions. This paper shows that the opposite can also occur: weakening selected edges may increase the generalized…

Wall-clock convergence time and communication rounds are critical performance metrics in distributed learning with parameter-server setting. While synchronous methods converge fast but are not robust to stragglers; and asynchronous ones can…

Connectivity augmentation problems are among the most elementary questions in Network Design. Many of these problems admit natural $2$-approximation algorithms, often through various classic techniques, whereas it remains open whether…

Motivated by synchronization problems in noisy environments, we study the Edwards-Wilkinson process on weighted uncorrelated scale-free networks. We consider a specific form of the weights, where the strength (and the associated cost) of a…

This paper addresses the distributed consensus problem in the presence of faulty nodes. A novel weight learning algorithm is introduced such that neither network connectivity nor a sequence of history records is required to achieve…

We proposed a method called residual edge-betweenness gradient (REBG) to enhance synchronizability of networks by assignment of link direction while keeping network topology and link weight unchanged. Direction assignment has been shown to…

Most previous work of centralities focuses on metrics of vertex importance and methods for identifying powerful vertices, while related work for edges is much lesser, especially for weighted networks, due to the computational challenge. In…

For any undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $E_W$ of candidate edges with $E\cap E_W=\emptyset$, the $(k,\gamma)$-spectral augmentability problem is to find a set $F$ of $k$ edges from $E_W$ with appropriate weighting, such that the…

We study frequency allocation in wireless networks. A wireless network is modeled by an undirected graph, with vertices corresponding to cells. In each vertex we have a certain number of requests, and each of those requests must be assigned…

In this paper, we study the information-theoretic converse for the index coding problem. We generalize the definition for the alignment chain, introduced by Maleki et al., to capture more flexible relations among interfering messages at…

A conflict-avoiding code (CAC) is a deterministic transmission scheme for asynchronous multiple access without feedback. When the number of simultaneously active users is less than or equal to $w$, a CAC of length $L$ with weight $w$ can…

Graph augmentation is a fundamental and well-studied problem that arises in network optimization. We consider a new variant of this model motivated by reconfigurable communication networks. In this variant, we consider a given physical…

Detailed network models of social, biological and other complex systems are often dense, which increases their computational complexity in simulations and analysis. To address this challenge, graph sparsification is used to remove edges…

This paper studies the problem of increasing the connectivity of an ad-hoc peer-to-peer network subject to cyber-attacks targeting the agents in the network. The adopted strategy involves the design of local interaction rules for the agents…

Designing well-connected graphs is a fundamental problem that frequently arises in various contexts across science and engineering. The weighted number of spanning trees, as a connectivity measure, emerges in numerous problems and plays a…

In this paper, we present new incremental algorithms for maintaining data structures that represent all connectivity cuts of size one in directed graphs (digraphs), and the strongly connected components that result by the removal of each of…

With the rapid growth of online social networks, strengthening their stability has emerged as a key research focus. This study aims to identify influential relationships that significantly impact community stability. In this paper, we…
