Kernels of Directed Graph Laplacians
Let G denote a directed graph with adjacency matrix Q and indegree matrix D. We consider the Kirchhoff matrix L = D − Q, sometimes referred to as the directed Laplacian. A classical result of Kirchhoff asserts that when G is undirected, the multiplicity of the eigenvalue 0 equals the number of connected components of G. This fact has a meaningful generalization to directed graphs, as was observ...
متن کاملGeneralized Laplacians and First Transit Times for Directed Graphs
In this paper, we extend previous results on average commute-times for undirected graphs to fully-connected directed graphs, corresponding to irreducible Markov chains. We introduce an unsymmetrized generalized Laplacian matrix and show how its pseudo-inverse directly yields the one-way first-transit times and round-trip commute times with formulas almost matching those for the undirected graph...
متن کاملLaplacians and the Cheeger inequality for directed graphs
We consider Laplacians for directed graphs and examine their eigenvalues. We introduce a notion of a circulation in a directed graph and its connection with the Rayleigh quotient. We then define a Cheeger constant and establish the Cheeger inequality for directed graphs. These relations can be used to deal with various problems that often arise in the study of non-reversible Markov chains inclu...
متن کاملNormalized Tenacity and Normalized Toughness of Graphs
In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters. Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.
متن کاملCoverings, Laplacians, and Heat Kernels of Directed Graphs
Combinatorial covers of graphs were defined by Chung and Yau. Their main feature is that the spectra of the Combinatorial Laplacian of the base and the total space are related. We extend their definition to directed graphs. As an application, we compute the spectrum of the Combinatorial Laplacian of the homesick random walk RWμ on the line. Using this calculation, we show that the heat kernel o...
