Connected Sub-graph Detection

چکیده
We characterize the family of connected subgraphs in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) with additional integrality constraints. We then show that convex relaxations of the integral LMI lead to parameterization of all weighted connected subgraphs. These developments allow for optimizing arbitrary graph functionals under connectivity constraints. For concreteness we consider the connected sub-graph detection problem that arises in a number of applications including network intrusion, disease outbreaks, and video surveillance. In these applications feature vectors are associated with nodes and edges of a graph. The problem is to decide whether or not the null hypothesis is true based on the measured features. For simplicity we consider the elevated mean problem wherein feature values at various nodes are distributed IID under the null hypothesis. The non-null (positive) hypothesis is distinguished from the null hypothesis by the fact that feature values on some unknown connected sub-graph has elevated mean.

Some Results on Forgotten Topological Coindex
The forgotten topological coindex (also called Lanzhou index) is defined for a simple connected graph G as the sum of the terms du2+dv2 over all non-adjacent vertex pairs uv of G, where du denotes the degree of the vertex u in G. In this paper, we present some inequalit...

متن کاملSome results on vertex-edge Wiener polynomials and indices of graphs
The vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of a simple connected graph are defined based on the distances between vertices and edges of that graph. The first derivative of these polynomials at one are called the vertex-edge Wiener indices. In this paper, we express some basic properties of the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of simple connected graphs and compare the first and second ve...

The revised edge-Szeged index of a connected graph $G$ is defined as Sze*(G)=∑e=uv∊E(G)( (mu(e|G)+(m0(e|G)/2)(mv(e|G)+(m0(e|G)/2) ), where mu(e|G), mv(e|G) and m0(e|G) are, respectively, the number of edges of G lying closer to vertex u than to vertex v, the number of ed...
متن کاملSufficient conditions for maximally edge-connected and super-edge-connected
Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $delta$ and edge-connectivity $lambda$. A graph ismaximally edge-connected if $lambda=delta$, and it is super-edge-connected if every minimum edge-cut istrivial; that is, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges incident with a vertex of minimum degree.In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is maximall...
