Extremal Dependence and Community-Structured Risk Propagation in Complex Social Information Networks
Extreme opinion propagation in social information networks often appears as a low-frequency but high-impact process, in which abnormal activity becomes synchronized across structurally related users or communities during crisis periods.

Evaluation of Municipal Water Distribution System Reliability Using Minimum Cut-set Method
Reliability analysis of water distribution systems is a complex task, as it requires both definition and calculation of reliability measures. In this paper, a methodology for evaluating water distribution system reliability is developed and demonstrated ...

Two kinds of conditional connectivity of hypercubes
A subset [Formula: see text] is called an h-extra r-component cut of G if G – F is disconnected and there are at least r components, each component has at least h + 1 vertices.

4-tangrams are 4-avoidable [PDF]
A tangram is a word in which every letter occurs an even number of times. Thus it can be cut into parts that can be arranged into two identical words. The \emph{cut number} of a tangram is the minimum number of required cuts in this process.

Sufficient conditions for triangle-free graphs to be super-$λ'$ [PDF]
An edge-cut $F$ of a connected graph $G$ is called a restricted edge-cut if $G-F$ contains no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of all restricted edge-cuts is called the restricted edge-connectivity $λ'(G)$ of $G$. A graph $G$ is said to

ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) face multiple acute and chronic medical complications that may impact their quality of life as reported by patients themselves. Health‐related social needs (HRSNs), such as food and housing insecurity, are common in people with SCD, but the association between HRSNs and patient‐reported ...

Blocking Detection Based on Synoptic Filters
The Tibaldi-Molteni blocking index is supplemented by additional filter criteria to eliminate cut-off lows and subsynoptic structures. We introduce three blocking filters and analyse their sensitivities: (i) a quantile filter requiring a minimum ...

Partitions of networks that are robust to vertex permutation dynamics
Minimum disconnecting cuts of connected graphs provide fundamental information about the connectivity structure of the graph. Spectral methods are well-known as stable and efficient means of finding good solutions to the balanced minimum cut problem.
