The Laplacian eigenvalues of a network play an important role in the analysis of many structural and dynamical network problems. In this paper, we study the relationship between the eigenvalue spectrum of the normalized Laplacian matrix and the structure of `local' subgraphs of the network. We call a subgraph \emph{local} when it is induced by the set of nodes obtained from a breath-first search (BFS) of radius $r$ around a node. In this paper, we propose techniques to estimate spectral…

MINIMIZING DISSEMINATION ON LARGE GRAPHS
TLDR
A scalable algorithm called MET (short for Multiple Eigenvalues Tracking), which minimize the largest eigenvalue is proposed, which can work well even if the gap between the top eigenvalues is small.
Half Sampling on Bipartite Graphs
TLDR
Both finite and infinite graphs are discussed, the appropriate definition of “half bandlimited” that involves splitting the mid frequency is given, and an explicit solution to the half sampling problem on graphs that are generated by edge substitution is given.
A Topological Approach to Meta-heuristics: Analytical Results on the BFS vs. DFS Algorithm Selection Problem
TLDR
Estimates for average BFS and DFS runtime are derived using a probabilistic model of goal distribution and an additional statistic of path redundancy and average branching factor for tree search and graph search.

Structural Analysis of Laplacian Spectral Properties of Large-Scale Networks
TLDR
This work proposes a series of semidefinite programs to find new bounds on the spectral radius and the spectral gap of the Laplacian matrix in terms of a collection of local structural features of the network.
Moment-Based Spectral Analysis of Large-Scale Networks Using Local Structural Information
TLDR
This paper uses algebraic graph theory and convex optimization to study how structural properties influence the spectrum of eigenvalues of the network, and can compute, with low computational overhead, global spectral properties of a network from its local structural properties.
Random graphs with arbitrary degree distributions and their applications.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that in some cases random graphs with appropriate distributions of vertex degree predict with surprising accuracy the behavior of the real world, while in others there is a measurable discrepancy between theory and reality, perhaps indicating the presence of additional social structure in the network that is not captured by the random graph.

With every graph (or digraph) one can associate several different matrices. We have already seen the vertex-edge incidence matrix, the Laplacian and the adjacency matrix of a graph. Here we shall…
The Spectra of Random Graphs with Given Expected Degrees
