    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.
