Source identification via contact tracing in the presence of asymptomatic patients

Inferring the source of a diffusion in a large network of agents is a difficult but feasible task, if a few agents act as sensors revealing the time at which they got hit by the diffusion. One of the main limitations of current source identification algori ...

On the robustness of the metric dimension of grid graphs to adding a single edge

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor, Satvik Mehul Mashkaria

The metric dimension (MD) of a graph is a combinatorial notion capturing the minimum number of landmark nodes needed to distinguish every pair of nodes in the graph based on graph distance. We study how much the MD can increase if we add a single edge to t ...

The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries

Gergely Odor

Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...

The power of adaptivity in source identification with time queries on the path

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor, Victor Cyril L Lecomte

We study the problem of identifying the source of a stochastic diffusion process spreading on a graph based on the arrival times of the diffusion at a few queried nodes. In a graph

G=(V,E)

, an unknown source node

v^* \in V

is drawn uniformly at random, ...

Metric dimension of critical Galton–Watson trees and linear preferential attachment trees

Gergely Odor

The metric dimension of a graph G is the minimal size of a subset R of vertices of G that, upon reporting their graph distance from a distinguished (source) vertex v⋆, enable unique identification of the source vertex v⋆ among all possible vertices of G. I ...

Switchover phenomenon induced by epidemic seeding on geometric networks

Gergely Odor

It is a fundamental question in disease modeling how the initial seeding of an epidemic, spreading over a network, determines its final outcome. One important goal has been to find the seed configuration, which infects the most individuals. Although the id ...

Sequential metric dimension for random graphs

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor

In the localization game on a graph, the goal is to find a fixed but unknown target node v* with the least number of distance queries possible. In the j-th step of the game, the player queries a single node v_j and receives, as an answer to their query, th ...

Frank-Wolfe Works for Non-Lipschitz Continuous Gradient Objectives: Scalable Poisson Phase Retrieval

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Alp Yurtsever, Yen-Huan Li, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Marwa El Halabi, Gergely Odor

We study a phase retrieval problem in the Poisson noise model. Motivated by the PhaseLift approach, we approximate the maximum-likelihood estimator by solving a convex program with a nuclear norm constraint. While the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, together with t ...
