Dynamic Random Geometric Graphs

Abstract

In this work we introduce Dynamic Random Geometric Graphs as a basic rough model for mobile wireless sensor networks, where communication distances are set to the known threshold for connectivity of static random geometric graphs. We provide precise asymptotic results for the expected length of the connectivity and disconnectivity periods of the network. We believe the formal tools developed in this work could be of use in future studies in more concrete settings. In addition, for static random geometric graphs at the threshold for connectivity, we provide asymptotic expressions on the probability of existence of components according to their sizes.

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.

Three Hardness Results for Graph Similarity Problems

Notions of graph similarity provide alternative perspective on the graph isomorphism problem and vice-versa. In this paper, we consider measures of similarity arising from mismatch norms as studied in Gervens and Grohe: the edit distance $δ_{\mathcal{E}}$, and the metrics arising from $\ell_p$-operator norms, which we denote by $δ_p$ and $δ_{|p|}$. We address the following question: can these measures of similarity be used to design polynomial-time approximation algorithms for graph isomorphism? We show that computing an optimal value of $δ_{\mathcal{E}}$ is \NP-hard on pairs of graphs with the same number of edges. In addition, we show that computing optimal values of $δ_p$ and $δ_{|p|}$ is \NP-hard even on pairs of $1$-planar graphs with the same degree sequence and bounded degree. These two results improve on previous known ones, which did not examine the restricted case where the pairs of graphs are required to have the same number of edges. Finally, we study similarity problems on strongly regular graphs and prove some near optimal inequalities with interesting consequences on the computational complexity of graph and group isomorphism.
