This work studies the first-order coherence of noisy multi-agent networks with multi-layered structures. The coherence, which is a sort of performance index of networks, can be seen as a sort of measurement for a system's robustness. Graph operations are applied to design the novel multi-layered networks, and a graph spectrum approach, along with analysis methods, is applied to derive the mathematical expression of the coherence, and the corresponding asymptotic results on the performance index have been obtained. In addition, the coherence of these non-isomorphic multi-layered networks with three different graph parameters are compared and analyzed. We find that, when the cardinalities of the vertex sets of corresponding counterpart layers are the same, the multi-layered topology class with a balanced, complete, multi-partite structure has the best robustness of all the considered networks, if the sufficient conditions for the node-related parameters hold. Finally, simulations are given to verify the asymptotic results.

: One of the topics of distance in graphs is the resolving set problem. Suppose the set = { , , …, } ⊂ ( ), the vertex representations of ∈ ( ) is ( | ) = { ( , ), ( , ), …, ( , )}, where ( , ) is the length of the shortest path of the vertex and the vertex in together with their multiplicity. The set is called a local -resolving set of graphs if ( | )≠ ( | ) for ∈ ( ).

Solving the non-submodular network collapse problems via Decision Transformer.

Given a graph G, the network collapse problem (NCP) selects a vertex subset S of minimum cardinality from G such that the difference in the values of a given measure function f(G)-f(G∖S) is greater than a predefined collapse threshold. Many graph analytic applications can be formulated as NCPs with different measure functions, which often pose a significant challenge due to their NP-hard nature. As a result, traditional greedy algorithms, which select the vertex with the highest reward at each step, may not effectively find the optimal solution.

Article Synopsis
  • The article explores the importance of Dominating David-derived networks, particularly their fractal nature, which has applications in fields like topology, chemistry, and computer science.
  • It aims to create closed-form formulas for eccentricity-based descriptors related to these networks, which can provide insights into thermodynamic and physicochemical properties of molecules.
  • By calculating indices like total eccentricity and the Zagreb index for a specific type of this network (D2(m)), the findings enhance the understanding of complex chemical structures and their biological activities.

A nonempty subset $ D $ of vertices in a graph $ \Gamma = (V, E) $ is said is an , if every vertex $ v \in \partial(D) $ satisfies $ \delta_D(v) \geq \delta_{\overline{D}}(v) + 1 $; the cardinality of a minimum offensive alliance of $ \Gamma $ is called the $ \alpha ^o(\Gamma) $ of $ \Gamma $. An offensive alliance $ D $ is called , if every $ v \in V - D $ satisfies $ \delta_D(v) \geq \delta_{\overline{D}}(v) + 1 $; the cardinality of a minimum global offensive alliance of $ \Gamma $ is called the $ \gamma^o(\Gamma) $ of $ \Gamma $. For a finite commutative ring with identity $ R $, $ \Gamma(R) $ denotes the zero divisor graph of $ R $.
