    In this paper, we introduce a natural class of multigraphs called hierarchical-scale-free (HSF) multigraphs, and consider constant-time testability on the class. We show that a very wide subclass, specifically, that in which the power-law exponent is greater than two, of HSF is hyperfinite. Based on this result, an algorithm for a deterministic partitioning oracle can be constructed. We conclude by showing that every property is constant-time testable on the above subclass of HSF. This algorithm utilizes findings by Newman and Sohler of STOC'11. However, their algorithm is based on the bounded-degree model, while it is known that actual scale-free networks usually include hubs, which have a very large degree. HSF is based on scale-free properties and includes such hubs. This is the first universal result of constant-time testability on the general graph model, and it has the potential to be applicable on a very wide range of scale-free networks.Comment: 13 pages, one figure. Difference from ver. 1: Definitions of HSF and SF become more general. Typos were fixe

    Enumerating Isolated Cliques in Temporal Networks

    Isolation is a concept from the world of clique enumeration that is mostly used to model communities that do not have much contact to the outside world. Herein, a clique is considered isolated if it has few edges connecting it to the rest of the graph. Motivated by recent work on enumerating cliques in temporal networks, we lift the isolation concept to this setting. We discover that the addition of the time dimension leads to six distinct natural isolation concepts. Our main contribution is the development of fixed-parameter enumeration algorithms for five of these six clique types employing the parameter "degree of isolation". On the empirical side, we implement and test these algorithms on (temporal) social network data, obtaining encouraging preliminary results

    Implementing Brouwer's database of strongly regular graphs

    Full text link
    Andries Brouwer maintains a public database of existence results for strongly regular graphs on n≤1300n\leq 1300 vertices. We implemented most of the infinite families of graphs listed there in the open-source software Sagemath, as well as provided constructions of the "sporadic" cases, to obtain a graph for each set of parameters with known examples. Besides providing a convenient way to verify these existence results from the actual graphs, it also extends the database to higher values of nn.Comment: 18 pages, LaTe

    Efficient Algorithms for Finding Maximum and Maximal Cliques and Their Applications

    The problem of finding a maximum clique or enumerating all maximal cliques is very important and has been explored in several excellent survey papers. Here, we focus our attention on the step-by-step examination of a series of branch-and-bound depth-first search algorithms: Basics, MCQ, MCR, MCS, and MCT. Subsequently, as with the depth-first search as above, we present our algorithm, CLIQUES, for enumerating all maximal cliques. Finally, we describe some of the applications of the algorithms and their variants in bioinformatics, data mining, and other fields
