A "graph" in this context is a collection of "vertices" or "nodes" and a collection of edges that connect pairs of vertices. A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another; see graph (mathematics) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graph that are A drawing of a graph commonly considered. Graphs are one of the prime objects of study in discrete mathematics. The graphs studied in graph theory should not be confused with the graphs of functions or other kinds of graphs. Refer to the glossary of graph theory for basic definitions in graph theory. Applications Graphs are among the most ubiquitous models of both natural and human-made structures. They can be used to model many types of relations and process dynamics in physical, biological[1] and social systems. Many problems of practical interest can be represented by graphs. In computer science, graphs are used to represent networks of communication, data organization, computational devices, the flow of computation, etc. One practical example: The link structure of a website could be represented by a directed graph. The vertices are the web pages available at the website and a directed edge from page A to page B exists if and only if A contains a link to B. A similar approach can be taken to problems in travel, biology, computer chip design, and many other fields. The development of algorithms to handle graphs is therefore of major interest in computer science. There, the transformation of graphs is often formalized and represented by graph rewrite systems. They are either directly used or properties of the rewrite systems (e.g. confluence) are studied. Complementary to graph transformation systems focussing on rule-based in-memory manipulation of graphs are graph databases geared towards transaction-safe, persistent storing and querying of graph-structured data. Graph-theoretic methods, in various forms, have proven particularly useful in linguistics, since natural language often lends itself well to discrete structure. Traditionally, syntax and compositional semantics follow tree-based structures, whose expressive power lies in the Principle of Compositionality, modeled in a hierarchical graph. More contemporary approaches such as Head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG) model syntactic constructions via the unification of typed feature structures, which are directed acyclic graphs. Within lexical semantics, especially as applied to computers, modeling word meaning is easier when a given word is understood in terms of related words; semantic networks are therefore important in computational linguistics. Still other methods in phonology (e.g. Optimality Theory, which uses lattice graphs) and morphology (e.g. finite-state morphology, using finite-state Graph theory 2 transducers) are common in the analysis of language as a graph. Indeed, the usefulness of this area of mathematics to linguistics has borne organizations such as TextGraphs [2], as well as various 'Net' projects, such as WordNet, VerbNet, and others. Graph theory is also used to study molecules in chemistry and physics. In condensed matter physics, the three dimensional structure of complicated simulated atomic structures can be studied quantitatively by gathering statistics on graph-theoretic properties related to the topology of the atoms. For example, Franzblau's shortest-path (SP) rings. In chemistry a graph makes a natural model for a molecule, where vertices represent atoms and edges bonds. This approach is especially used in computer processing of molecular structures, ranging from chemical editors to database searching. In statistical physics, graphs can represent local connections between interacting parts of a system, as well as the dynamics of a physical process on such systems. Graph theory is also widely used in sociology as a way, for example, to measure actors' prestige or to explore diffusion mechanisms, notably through the use of social network analysis software. Likewise, graph theory is useful in biology and conservation efforts where a vertex can represent regions where certain species exist (or habitats) and the edges represent migration paths, or movement between the regions. This information is important when looking at breeding patterns or tracking the spread of disease, parasites or how changes to the movement can affect other species. In mathematics, graphs are useful in geometry and certain parts of topology, e.g. Knot

  • I?'!'-Comparability Graphs
    Discrete Mathematics 74 (1989) 173-200 173 North-Holland I?‘!‘-COMPARABILITYGRAPHS C.T. HOANG Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903, U.S.A. and B.A. REED Discrete Mathematics Group, Bell Communications Research, Morristown, NJ 07950, U.S.A. In 1981, Chv&tal defined the class of perfectly orderable graphs. This class of perfect graphs contains the comparability graphs. In this paper, we introduce a new class of perfectly orderable graphs, the &comparability graphs. This class generalizes comparability graphs in a natural way. We also prove a decomposition theorem which leads to a structural characteriza- tion of &comparability graphs. Using this characterization, we develop a polynomial-time recognition algorithm and polynomial-time algorithms for the clique and colouring problems for &comparability graphs. 1. Introduction A natural way to color the vertices of a graph is to put them in some order v*cv~<” l < v, and then assign colors in the following manner: (1) Consider the vertxes sequentially (in the sequence given by the order) (2) Assign to each Vi the smallest color (positive integer) not used on any neighbor vi of Vi with j c i. We shall call this the greedy coloring algorithm. An order < of a graph G is perfect if for each subgraph H of G, the greedy algorithm applied to H, gives an optimal coloring of H. An obstruction in a ordered graph (G, <) is a set of four vertices {a, b, c, d} with edges ab, bc, cd (and no other edge) and a c b, d CC. Clearly, if < is a perfect order on G, then (G, C) contains no obstruction (because the chromatic number of an obstruction is twu, but the greedy coloring algorithm uses three colors).

    2019/9/16 Bayesian network - Wikipedia Bayesian network A Bayesian network, Bayes network, belief network, decision network, Bayes(ian) model or probabilistic directed acyclic graphical model is a probabilistic graphical model (a type of statistical model) that represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies via a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Bayesian networks are ideal for taking an event that occurred and predicting the likelihood that any one of several possible known causes was the contributing factor. For example, a Bayesian network A simple Bayesian network. Rain could represent the probabilistic relationships between diseases and influences whether the sprinkler symptoms. Given symptoms, the network can be used to compute the is activated, and both rain and probabilities of the presence of various diseases. the sprinkler influence whether the grass is wet. Efficient algorithms can perform inference and learning in Bayesian networks. Bayesian networks that model sequences of variables (e.g. speech signals or protein sequences) are called dynamic Bayesian networks.

  • An Introduction to Factor Graphs
    An Introduction to Factor Graphs Hans-Andrea Loeliger MLSB 2008, Copenhagen 1 Definition A factor graph represents the factorization of a function of several variables. We use Forney-style factor graphs (Forney, 2001). Example: f(x1, x2, x3, x4, x5) = fA(x1, x2, x3) · fB(x3, x4, x5) · fC(x4). fA fB x1 x3 x5 x2 x4 fC Rules: • A node for every factor. • An edge or half-edge for every variable. • Node g is connected to edge x iff variable x appears in factor g. (What if some variable appears in more than 2 factors?) 2 Example: Markov Chain pXYZ(x, y, z) = pX(x) pY |X(y|x) pZ|Y (z|y). X Y Z pX pY |X pZ|Y We will often use capital letters for the variables. (Why?) Further examples will come later. 3 Message Passing Algorithms operate by passing messages along the edges of a factor graph: - - - 6 6 ? ? - - - - - ... 6 6 ? ? 6 6 ? ? 4 A main point of factor graphs (and similar graphical notations): A Unified View of Historically Different Things Statistical physics: - Markov random fields (Ising 1925) Signal processing: - linear state-space models and Kalman filtering: Kalman 1960. - recursive least-squares adaptive filters - Hidden Markov models: Baum et al. 1966. - unification: Levy et al. 1996.

Graph colouring problem applied in genetic algorithm. Indian Journal of Science, 2015, 13(38), 37-41 ABSTRACT In this paper we present a hybrid technique that applies a genetic algorithm followed by wisdom of artificial crowds that approach to solve the graph-coloring problem. The genetic algorithm described here, utilizes more than one parent selection and mutation methods depending u p on the state of fitness of its best solution. This results in shifting the solution to the global optimum, more quickly than using a single parent selection or mutation method. The algorithm is tested against the standard DIMACS benchmark tests while, limiting the number of usable colors to the chromatic numbers. The proposed algorithm succeeded to solve the sample data set and even outperformed a recent approach in terms of the minimum number of colors needed to color some of the graphs. The Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is also known as complete problem. Graph coloring also includes vertex coloring and edge coloring. However, mostly the term graph coloring refers to vertex coloring rather than edge coloring. Given a number of vertices, which form a connected graph, the objective is that to color each vertex so that if two vertices are connected in the graph (i.e.

    RANDOM COGRAPHS: BROWNIAN GRAPHON LIMIT AND ASYMPTOTIC DEGREE DISTRIBUTION FRÉDÉRIQUE BASSINO, MATHILDE BOUVEL, VALENTIN FÉRAY, LUCAS GERIN, MICKAËL MAAZOUN, AND ADELINE PIERROT ABSTRACT. We consider uniform random cographs (either labeled or unlabeled) of large size. Our first main result is the convergence towards a Brownian limiting object in the space of graphons. We then show that the degree of a uniform random vertex in a uniform cograph is of order n, and converges after normalization to the Lebesgue measure on [0; 1]. We finally an- alyze the vertex connectivity (i.e. the minimal number of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph) of random connected cographs, and show that this statistics converges in distribution without renormalization. Unlike for the graphon limit and for the degree of a random vertex, the limiting distribution of the vertex connectivity is different in the labeled and unlabeled settings. Our proofs rely on the classical encoding of cographs via cotrees. We then use mainly combi- natorial arguments, including the symbolic method and singularity analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Motivation. Random graphs are arguably the most studied objects at the interface of com- binatorics and probability theory. One aspect of their study consists in analyzing a uniform random graph of large size n in a prescribed family, e.g. perfect graphs [MY19], planar graphs [Noy14], graphs embeddable in a surface of given genus [DKS17], graphs in subcritical classes [PSW16], hereditary classes [HJS18] or addable classes [MSW06, CP19]. The present paper focuses on uniform random cographs (both in the labeled and unlabeled settings). Cographs were introduced in the seventies by several authors independently, see e.g.

  • Bidimensionality Theory and Algorithmic Graph Minor Theory Lecture Notes for Mohammadtaghi Hajiaghayi’S Tutorial
    Bidimensionality Theory and Algorithmic Graph Minor Theory Lecture Notes for MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi’s Tutorial Mareike Massow,∗ Jens Schmidt,† Daria Schymura,‡ Siamak Tazari§ MDS Fall School Blankensee October 2007 1 Introduction Dealing with Hard Graph Problems Many graph problems cannot be computed in polynomial time unless P = NP , which most computer scientists and mathematicians doubt. Examples are the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), vertex cover, and dominating set. TSP is to find a Hamiltonian cycle with the least weight in a complete weighted graph. A vertex cover of a graph is a subset of the vertices that covers all edges. A dominating set in a graph is a subset of the vertices such that each vertex is contained in the set or has a neighbour in the set. The decision problem is to answer the question whether there is a vertex cover resp. a dominating set with at most k elements. The optimization problem is to find a vertex cover resp. a dominating set of minimal size. How can we solve these problems despite their computational complexity? The four main theoretical approaches to handle NP -hard problems are the following. • Average case: Prove that an algorithm is efficient in the expected case. • Special instances: A problem is solved efficiently for a special graph class. For example, graph isomor- phism is computable in linear time on planar graphs whereas graph isomorphism in general is known to be in NP and suspected not to be in P . • Approximation algorithms: Approximate the optimal solution within a constant factor c, or even within 1 + . An algorithmic scheme that gives for each > 0 a polynomial-time (1 + )-approximation is called a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS).
