Many real-world networks exhibit correlations between the node degrees. For instance, in social networks nodes tend to connect to nodes of similar degree. Conversely, in biological and technological networks, high-degree nodes tend to be linked with low-degree nodes. Degree correlations also affect the dynamics of processes supported by a network structure, such as the spread of opinions or epidemics. The proper modelling of these systems, i.e., without uncontrolled biases, requires the sampling of networks with a specified set of constraints. We present a solution to the sampling problem when the constraints imposed are the degree correlations. In particular, we develop an efficient and exact method to construct and sample graphs with a specified joint-degree matrix, which is a matrix providing the number of edges between all the sets of nodes of a given degree, for all degrees, thus completely specifying all pairwise degree correlations, and additionally, the degree sequence itself. Our algorithm always produces independent samples without backtracking. The complexity of the graph construction algorithm is O(NM) where N is the number of nodes and M is the number of edges.

An incidence of an undirected graph G is a pair $(v,e)$ where $v$ is a vertex of $G$ and $e$ an edge of $G$ incident with $v$. Two incidences $(v,e)$ and $(w,f)$ are adjacent if one of the following holds: (i) $v = w$, (ii) $e = f$ or (iii) $vw = e$ or $f$. An incidence coloring of $G$ assigns a color to each incidence of $G$ in such a way that adjacent incidences get distinct colors. In 2005, Hosseini Dolama emph{et al.}~citep{ds05} proved that every graph with maximum average degree strictly less than $3$ can be incidence colored with $Delta+3$ colors. Recently, Bonamy emph{et al.}~citep{Bonamy} proved that every graph with maximum degree at least $4$ and with maximum average degree strictly less than $frac{7}{3}$ admits an incidence $(Delta+1)$-coloring. In this paper we give bounds for the number of colors needed to color graphs having maximum average degrees bounded by different values between $4$ and $6$. In particular we prove that every graph with maximum degree at least $7$ and with maximum average degree less than $4$ admits an incidence $(Delta+3)$-coloring. This result implies that every triangle-free planar graph with maximum degree at least $7$ is incidence $(Delta+3)$-colorable. We also prove that every graph with maximum average degree less than 6 admits an incidence $(Delta + 7)$-coloring. More generally, we prove that $Delta+k-1$ colors are enough when the maximum average degree is less than $k$ and the maximum degree is sufficiently large.
In this paper we propose and realize (the code is publicly available at https://github.com/Thrawn1985/2D-Partition-Function) an algorithm for exact calculation of partition function for planar graph models with binary spins. The complexity of the algorithm is O(N^2). Test experiments shows good agreement with Onsagers analytical solution for two-dimensional Ising model of infinite size.
We study the robustness properties of multiplex networks consisting of multiple layers of distinct types of links, focusing on the role of correlations between degrees of a node in different layers. We use generating function formalism to address various notions of the network robustness relevant to multiplex networks such as the resilience of ordinary- and mutual connectivity under random or targeted node removals as well as the biconnectivity. We found that correlated coupling can affect the structural robustness of multiplex networks in diverse fashion. For example, for maximally-correlated duplex networks, all pairs of nodes in the giant component are connected via at least two independent paths and network structure is highly resilient to random failure. In contrast, anti-correlated duplex networks are on one hand robust against targeted attack on high-degree nodes, but on the other hand they can be vulnerable to random failure.
We consider acyclic r-colorings in graphs and digraphs: they color the vertices in r colors, each of which induces an acyclic graph or digraph. (This includes the dichromatic number of a digraph, and the arboricity of a graph.) For any girth and sufficiently high degree, we prove the NP-completeness of acyclic r-colorings; our method also implies the known analogue for classical colorings. The proofs use high girth graphs with high arboricity and dichromatic numbers. High girth graphs and digraphs with high chromatic and dichromatic numbers have been well studied; we re-derive the results from a general result about relational systems, which also implies the similar fact about high girth and high arboricity used in the proofs. These facts concern graphs and digraphs of high girth and low degree; we contrast them by considering acyclic colorings of tournaments (which have low girth and high degree). We prove that even though acyclic two-colorability of tournaments is known to be NP-complete, random acyclically r-colorable tournaments allow recovering an acyclic r-coloring in deterministic linear time, with high probablity.
We introduce the rendezvous game with adversaries. In this game, two players, {sl Facilitator} and {sl Disruptor}, play against each other on a graph. Facilitator has two agents, and Disruptor has a team of $k$ agents located in some vertices of the graph. They take turns in moving their agents to adjacent vertices (or staying). Facilitator wins if his agents meet in some vertex of the graph. The goal of Disruptor is to prevent the rendezvous of Facilitators agents. Our interest is to decide whether Facilitator can win. It appears that, in general, the problem is PSPACE-hard and, when parameterized by $k$, co-W[2]-hard. Moreover, even the games variant where we ask whether Facilitator can ensure the meeting of his agents within $tau$ steps is co-NP-complete already for $tau=2$. On the other hand, for chordal and $P_5$-free graphs, we prove that the problem is solvable in polynomial time. These algorithms exploit an interesting relation of the game and minimum vertex cuts in certain graph classes. Finally, we show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by both the graphs neighborhood diversity and $tau$.
