The concept of controllability from control theory is applied to weighted and directed networks with heterogenous linear or linearized node dynamics subject to exogenous inputs, where the nodes are grouped into leaders and followers. Under this framework, the controllability of the controlled network can be decomposed into two independent problems: the controllability of the isolated leader subsystem and the controllability of the extended follower subsystem. Some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the controllability of the leader-follower network are derived based on matrix theory and graph theory. In particular, it is shown that a single-leader network is controllable if it is a directed path or cycle, but it is uncontrollable for a complete digraph or a star digraph in general. Furthermore, some approaches to improving the controllability of a heterogenous network are presented. Some simulation examples are given for illustration and verification.

Graph Theory International audience In this document, we study the scope of the following graph model: each vertex is assigned to a box in ℝd and to a representative element that belongs to that box. Two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if its respective boxes contain the opposite representative element. We focus our study on the case where boxes (and therefore representative elements) associated to vertices are spread in ℝ. We give both, a combinatorial and an intersection characterization of the model. Based on these characterizations, we determine graph families that contain the model (e. g., boxicity 2 graphs) and others that the new model contains (e. g., rooted directed path). We also study the particular case where each representative element is the center of its respective box. In this particular case, we provide constructive representations for interval, block and outerplanar graphs. Finally, we show that the general and the particular model are not equivalent by constructing a graph family that separates the two cases.

We give an algorithm for the Dynamic Transitive Closure Problem for planar directed acyclic graphs with one source and one sink. The graph can be updated in logarithmic time under arbitrary edge insertions and deletions that preserve the embedding. Queries of the form `is there a directed path from u to v ?' for arbitrary vertices u and v can be answered in logarithmic time. The size of the data structure and the initialisation time are linear in the number of edges.<br /> <br />The result enlarges the class of graphs for which a logarithmic (or even polylogarithmic) time dynamic transitive closure algorithm exists. Previously, the only algorithms within the stated resource bounds put restrictions on the topology of the graph or on the delete operation. To obtain our result, we use a new characterisation of the transitive closure in plane graphs with one source and one sink and introduce new techniques to exploit this characterisation.<br /> <br />We also give a lower bound of Omega(log n/log log n) on the amortised complexity of the problem in the cell probe model with logarithmic word size. This is the first dynamic directed graph problem with almost matching lower and upper bounds.

Channel routing is an important phase of physical design of LSI and VLSI chips. The channel routing method was first proposed by Akihiro Hashimoto and James Stevens [1]. The method was extensively studied by many authors and applied to different technologies. At present there are known many effective heuristic algorithms for channel routing. A. LaPaugh [2] proved that the restrictive routing problem is NP-complete. In this paper we prove that for every positive integer k there is a restrictive channel C for which ?(C)>? (HG)+L(VG)+k, where ? (C) is the thickness of the channel, ?(HG) is clique number of the horizontal constraints graph HG and L(VG) is the length of the longest directed path in the vertical constraints graph VG.

In Bhatt and Roy's minimal directed spanning tree construction fornrandom points in the unit square, all edges must be in a south-westerly direction and there must be a directed path from each vertex to the root placed at the origin. We identify the limiting distributions (for largen) for the total length of rooted edges, and also for the maximal length of all edges in the tree. These limit distributions have been seen previously in analysis of the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution and elsewhere; they are expressed in terms of Dickman's function, and their properties are discussed in some detail.

AbstractIf D is an acyclic digraph, define the height h = h(D) to be the length of the longest directed path in D. We prove that the values of h(D) over all labelled acyclic digraphs D on n vertices are asymptotically normally distributed with mean Cn and variance C′n, where C ≈ 0·764334 and C′ ≈ 0·145210. Furthermore, define V0(D) to be the set of sinks (vertices of out-degree 0) and, for r ≥ 1, define Vr(D) to be the set of vertices ν such that the longest directed path from ν to V0(D) has length r. For each k ≥ 1, let nk(D) be the number of sets Vt(D) which have size k. We prove that, for fixed k, the values of nk(D) over all labelled acyclic digraphs D on n vertices are asymptotically normally distributed with mean Ckn and variance C′kn, for positive constants Ck and C′k. Results of Bender and Robinson imply that our claim holds also for unlabelled acyclic digraphs.
