Abstract

In this paper, we present two new concepts related to subgraph counting where the focus is not on the number of subgraphs that are isomorphic to some fixed graph $H$, but on the frequency with which a vertex or an edge belongs to such subgraphs. In particular, we are interested in the case where $H$ is a complete graph. These new concepts are termed vertex participation and edge participation respectively. We combine these concepts with that of the rich-club to identify what we call a Super rich-club and rich edge-club. We show that the concept of vertex participation is a generalisation of the rich-club. We present experimental results on randomised Erdös Rényi and Watts-Strogatz small-world networks. We further demonstrate both concepts on a complex brain network and compare our results to the rich-club of the brain.

Factorisability of Low Dimensional Non-Negative Integer Matrices

We consider the problem of determining if a given two-dimensional nonnegative integer matrix $M$ is the product of two such matrices, excluding trivial units. A matrix $M$ with no such factorisation is called prime and therefore belongs to the minimal (infinite rank) generator of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the natural numbers, otherwise it is called composite. We also consider the problem of finding a (non-unique) factorisation of a composite matrix. Our results have applications in computational group theory and the theory of codes, where such matrices are called incidence matrices. We analyse the complexity of primality and finding a factorisation for a composite matrix, providing a first efficient algorithm.

The parameterised complexity of generalised temporal domination on temporal graphs with modular structure

Inspired by the static problem $(α,β)$-Dominating Set, we propose a general temporal domination problem, called $(α,β)$-Temporal Dominating Set ($(α,β)$-TDS). We show that this problem encompasses Temporal Dominating Set, and additionally provides first temporal extensions of problems such as $k$-Dominating Set and $α$-Dominating Set. In this paper, we study the parameterised complexity of $(α,β)$-TDS with respect to temporal neighbourhood diversity (TND), temporal modular-width (TMW), and temporal cliquewidth (TCW). We obtain fixed parameter tractability results for all values of $α$ and $β$ with respect to TND; W[1]-hardness with respect to TMW and TCW whenever $β$ is in the problem input, or whenever $α\in (0,1)$ and $β$ is a fixed constant; and para-NP-hardness with respect to TCW when $α= 0$ and $β= 1$, or $α= 1$ and $β= 0$.
