A motif is a frequently occurring subgraph of a given directed or undirected graph G (Milo et al.). Motifs capture higher order organizational structure of G beyond edge relationships, and, therefore, have found wide applications such as in graph clusterin ...
If W is the simple random walk on the square lattice Z(2), then W induces a random walk W-G on any spanning subgraph G subset of Z(2) of the lattice as follows: viewing W as a uniformly random infinite word on the alphabet {x, -x, y, -y}, the walk W-G star ...
We develop random graph models where graphs are generated by connecting not only pairs of vertices by edges, but also larger subsets of vertices by copies of small atomic subgraphs of arbitrary topology. This allows for the generation of graphs with extens ...
Graphs are extensively used to represent networked data. In many applications, especially when considering large datasets, it is a desirable feature to focus the analysis onto specific subgraphs of interest. Slepian theory and its extension to graphs allow ...
Consider the family of bounded degree graphs in any minor-closed family (such as planar graphs). Let d be the degree bound and n be the number of vertices of such a graph. Graphs in these classes have hyperfinite decompositions, where, one removes a small ...
We present a factors 4/3 approximation algorithm for the problem of finding a minimum 2-edge connected spanning subgraph of a given undirected multigraph. The algorithm is based upon a reduction to a restricted class of graphs. In these graphs, the approxi ...
Knapsack problems give a simple framework for decision making. A classical example is the min-knapsack problem (MinKnap): choose a subset of items with minimum total cost, whose total profit is above a given threshold. While this model successfully general ...
Subgraph counting is a fundamental primitive in graph processing, with applications in social network analysis (e.g., estimating the clustering coefficient of a graph), database processing and other areas. The space complexity of subgraph counting has been ...
