Vertex-Based Topological Indices of Double and Strong Double Graph of Dutch Windmill Graph

A measurement of the molecular topology of graphs is known as a topological index, and several physical and chemical properties such as heat formation, boiling point, vaporization, enthalpy, and entropy are used to characterize them. Graph theory is useful in evaluating the relationship between various topological indices of some graphs derived by applying certain graph operations. Graph operations play an important role in many applications of graph theory because many big graphs can be obtained from small graphs. Here, we discuss two graph operations, i.e., double graph and strong double graph. In this article, we will compute the topological indices such as geometric arithmetic index GA , atom bond connectivity index ABC , forgotten index F , inverse sum indeg index ISI , general inverse sum indeg index ISI α , β , first multiplicative-Zagreb index PM 1 and second multiplicative-Zagreb index PM 2 , fifth geometric arithmetic index GA 5 , fourth atom bond connectivity index ABC 4 of double graph, and strong double graph of Dutch Windmill graph D 3 p .

Uncovering Active Communities from Directed Graphs on Distributed Spark Frameworks, Case Study: Twitter Data

Directed graphs can be prepared from big data containing peoples’ interaction information. In these graphs the vertices represent people, while the directed edges denote the interactions among them. The number of interactions at certain intervals can be included as the edges’ attribute. Thus, the larger the count, the more frequent the people (vertices) interact with each other. Subgraphs which have a count larger than a threshold value can be created from these graphs, and temporal active communities can then be mined from each of these subgraphs. Apache Spark has been recognized as a data processing framework that is fast and scalable for processing big data. It provides DataFrames, GraphFrames, and GraphX APIs which can be employed for analyzing big graphs. We propose three kinds of active communities, namely, Similar interest communities (SIC), Strong-interacting communities (SC), and Strong-interacting communities with their “inner circle” neighbors (SCIC), along with algorithms needed to uncover them. The algorithm design and implementation are based on these APIs. We conducted experiments on a Spark cluster using ten machines. The results show that our proposed algorithms are able to uncover active communities from public big graphs as well from Twitter data collected using Spark structured streaming. In some cases, the execution time of the algorithms that are based on GraphFrames’ motif findings is faster.

A Survey on Distributed Graph Pattern Matching in Massive Graphs

Besides its NP-completeness, the strict constraints of subgraph isomorphism are making it impractical for graph pattern matching (GPM) in the context of big data. As a result, relaxed GPM models have emerged as they yield interesting results in a polynomial time. However, massive graphs generated by mostly social networks require a distributed storing and processing of the data over multiple machines, thus, requiring GPM to be revised by adopting new paradigms of big graphs processing, e.g., Think-Like-A-Vertex and its derivatives. This article discusses and proposes a classification of distributed GPM approaches with a narrow focus on the relaxed models.

DHPV: a distributed algorithm for large-scale graph partitioning

Big graphs are part of the movement of “Not Only SQL” databases (also called NoSQL) focusing on the relationships between data, rather than the values themselves. The data is stored in vertices while the edges model the interactions or relationships between these data. They offer flexibility in handling data that is strongly connected to each other. The analysis of a big graph generally involves exploring all of its vertices. Thus, this operation is costly in time and resources because big graphs are generally composed of millions of vertices connected through billions of edges. Consequently, the graph algorithms are expansive compared to the size of the big graph, and are therefore ineffective for data exploration. Thus, partitioning the graph stands out as an efficient and less expensive alternative for exploring a big graph. This technique consists in partitioning the graph into a set of k sub-graphs in order to reduce the complexity of the queries. Nevertheless, it presents many challenges because it is an NP-complete problem. In this article, we present DPHV (Distributed Placement of Hub-Vertices) an efficient parallel and distributed heuristic for large-scale graph partitioning. An application on a real-world graphs demonstrates the feasibility and reliability of our method. The experiments carried on a 10-nodes Spark cluster proved that the proposed methodology achieves significant gain in term of time and outperforms JA-BE-JA, Greedy, DFEP.
