    Network synchronization: Spectral versus statistical properties
    (Elsevier B.V., 2006-12) Atay, Fatihcan Mehmet; Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Jost, Jürgen
    We consider synchronization of weighted networks, possibly with asymmetrical connections. Focusing on causal relations rather than the observed correlations, we show that the synchronizability of networks cannot be directly inferred from their statistical properties. Small local changes in the network structure can sensitively affect the eigenvalues relevant for synchronization, while the gross statistical network properties remain essentially unchanged. Consequently, commonly used statistical properties, including the degree distribution, degree homogeneity, average degree, average distance, degree correlation and clustering coefficient, can fail to characterize the synchronizability of networks in terms of causal relations, despite the observed correlations.

    Discovering cis-regulatory modules by optimizing barbecues
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2009-05-28) Mosig, Axel; Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Prohaska, Sonja J.; Stadler, Peter F.
    Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated by a complex network of interactions, in which transcription factors and their binding sites on the genomic DNA play a determining role. As transcription factors rarely, if ever, act in isolation, binding sites of interacting factors are typically arranged in close proximity forming so-called cis-regulatory modules. Even when the individual binding sites are known, module discovery remains a hard combinatorial problem, which we formalize here as the Best Barbecue Problem. It asks for simultaneously stabbing a maximum number of differently colored intervals from K arrangements of colored intervals. This geometric problem turns out to be an elementary, yet previously unstudied combinatorial optimization problem of detecting common edges in a family of hypergraphs, a decision version of which we show here to be NP-complete. Due to its relevance in biological applications, we propose algorithmic variations that are suitable for the analysis of real data sets comprising either many sequences or many binding sites. Being based on set systems induced by interval arrangements, our problem setting generalizes to discovering patterns of co-localized itemsets in non-sequential objects that consist of corresponding arrangements or induce set systems of co-localized items. In fact, our optimization problem is a generalization of the popular concept of frequent itemset mining.

    Dendrimers are the unique chemical trees with maximum spectral radius
    (Univ Kragujevac, 2012) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    It is shown that dendrimers have maximum spectral radius and maximum Collatz-Sinogowitz index among all chemical trees of given size. The result is also generalized for the class of chemical trees with prescribed number of pendant vertices.

    Cryptanalysis of Fridrich's chaotic image encryption
    (World Scientific Publishing, 2010-05) Solak, Ercan; Çokal, Cahit; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Bıyıkoğlu, Türker
    We cryptanalyze Fridrich's chaotic image encryption algorithm. We show that the algebraic weaknesses of the algorithm make it vulnerable against chosen-ciphertext attacks. We propose an attack that reveals the secret permutation that is used to shuffle the pixels of a round input. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our attack with examples and simulation results. We also show that our proposed attack can be generalized to other well-known chaotic image encryption algorithms.

    Algebraic connectivity and degree sequences of trees
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2009-01-15) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    We investigate the structure of trees that have minimal algebraic connectivity among all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that such trees are caterpillars and that the vertex degrees are non-decreasing on every path on non-pendant vertices starting at the characteristic set of the Fiedler vector.

    Graphs with given degree sequence and maximal spectral radius
    (Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2008-09-15) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    We describe the structure of those graphs that have largest spectral radius in the class of all connected graphs with a given degree sequence. We show that in such a graph the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of the vertices induced by breadth-first search. For trees the resulting structure is uniquely determined up to isomorphism. We also show that the largest spectral radius in such classes of trees is strictly monotone with respect to majorization.

    Four-cycled graphs with topological applications
    (Birkhauser Verlag AG, 2012-03) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Civan, Yusuf
    We call a simple graph G a 4-cycled graph if either it has no edges or every edge of it is contained in an induced 4-cycle of G. Our interest on 4-cycled graphs is motivated by the fact that their clique complexes play an important role in the simple-homotopy theory of simplicial complexes. We prove that the minimal simple models within the category of flag simplicial complexes are exactly the clique complexes of some 4-cycled graphs. We further provide structural properties of 4-cycled graphs and describe constructions yielding such graphs. We characterize 4-cycled cographs, and 4-cycled graphs arising from finite chessboards. We introduce a family of inductively constructed graphs, the external extensions, related to an arbitrary graph, and determine the homotopy type of the independence complexes of external extensions of some graphs.

    Graphs of given order and size and minimum algebraic connectivity
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2012-04-01) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    The structure of connected graphs of given size and order that have minimal algebraic connectivity is investigated. It is shown that they must consist of a chain of cliques. Moreover, an upper bound for the number of maximal cliques of size 2 or larger is derived.
