Homomorphisms of infinite bipartite graphs onto complete bipartite graphs
Let be homogeneous trees with degrees , respectively. For each tree, let be the Busemann function with respect to a fixed boundary point (end). Its level sets are the horocycles. The horocyclic product of is the graph consisting of all -tuples with , equipped with a natural neighbourhood relation. In the present paper, we explore the geometric, algebraic, analytic and probabilistic properties of these graphs and their isometry groups. If and then we obtain a Cayley graph of the...
The domination game is played on an arbitrary graph G by two players, Dominator and Staller. The game is called Game 1 when Dominator starts it, and Game 2 otherwise. In this paper bluff graphs are introduced as the graphs in which every vertex is an optimal start vertex in Game 1 as well as in Game 2. It is proved that every minus graph (a graph in which Game 2 finishes faster than Game 1) is a bluff graph. A non-trivial infinite family of minus (and hence bluff) graphs is established. minus graphs...
We study the scenario of graph-based clustering algorithms such as spectral clustering. Given a set of data points, one first has to construct a graph on the data points and then apply a graph clustering algorithm to find a suitable partition of the graph. Our main question is if and how the construction of the graph (choice of the graph, choice of parameters, choice of weights) influences the outcome of the final clustering result. To this end we study the convergence of cluster quality measures...
It is shown that for a metric space (M,d) the following are equivalent: (i) M is a complete ℝ-tree; (ii) M is hyperconvex and has unique metric segments.
