Pólya Thresholds Graphs
Jinghan Yu, Fady Alajaji, Bahman Gharesifard
We introduce the Pólya threshold graph model and derive its stochastic and algebraic properties. This random threshold graph is generated sequentially via a two-color Pólya urn pro…

Distributed strategies for generating weight-balanced and doubly stochastic digraphs
Bahman Gharesifard, Jorge Cortes
Weight-balanced and doubly stochastic digraphs are two classes of digraphs that play an essential role in a variety of cooperative control problems, including formation control, di…
