Does graph disclosure bias reduce the cost of equity?
Research on disclosure and capital markets focuses primarily on the amount of
information provided but pays little attention to the presentation format of this
information. This paper examines the impact of graph utilization and graph quality
(distortion) on the cost of equity capital, controlling for the interaction between
disclosure and graph distortion. Despite the advantages of graphs in communicating
information, our results show that graph utilization does not have a significant impact
on users’ decisions. However we observe a significant (negative) association between
graph distortion and the exante
cost of equity. This effect though, disappears if we use
realised returns as a measure of expost
cost of equity. Moreover, we find that
disclosure and graph distortion interact so that the impact of disclosure on the cost of
capital depends on graph integrity. For low level of overall disclosure, graph distortion
reduces the exante
cost of equity. However for high level of disclosure graph distortion
increases the exante
cost of equity
A polynomial delay algorithm for the enumeration of bubbles with length constraints in directed graphs and its application to the detection of alternative splicing in RNA-seq data
We present a new algorithm for enumerating bubbles with length constraints in
directed graphs. This problem arises in transcriptomics, where the question is
to identify all alternative splicing events present in a sample of mRNAs
sequenced by RNA-seq. This is the first polynomial-delay algorithm for this
problem and we show that in practice, it is faster than previous approaches.
This enables us to deal with larger instances and therefore to discover novel
alternative splicing events, especially long ones, that were previously
overseen using existing methods.Comment: Peer-reviewed and presented as part of the 13th Workshop on

Node-balancing by edge-increments
Suppose you are given a graph with a weight assignment
and that your objective is to modify using legal
steps such that all vertices will have the same weight, where in each legal
step you are allowed to choose an edge and increment the weights of its end
points by .
In this paper we study several variants of this problem for graphs and
hypergraphs. On the combinatorial side we show connections with fundamental
results from matching theory such as Hall's Theorem and Tutte's Theorem. On the
algorithmic side we study the computational complexity of associated decision
problems.
Our main results are a characterization of the graphs for which any initial
assignment can be balanced by edge-increments and a strongly polynomial-time
algorithm that computes a balancing sequence of increments if one exists.Comment: 10 page
