We introduce a method of constructing classes of graphs by algorithmic removal of entire groups of edges. Our approach to creating new classes of graphs is to focus entirely on the structure and properties of an adjacency matrix. At an initialisation step of the algorithm we start with a complete (fully connected) graph. In Part I we present MOD and arrested MOD graphs resulting from removal of square blocks of edges at each iteration and substitution of removed blocks with a diagonal matrix with one extra pivotal element along the main diagonal. The MOD graphs possess unique and useful properties. All important graph measures are easily expressed in analytical form and are presented in the paper. Several important properties of MOD graphs are compared very favourably with graphs representing common interconnect topologies: hypercube, 3D and 5D tori, TOFU and dragonfly. This lead us to consider MOD and arrested MOD graphs as interesting candidates for effective supercomputer interconnects. In Part II, at each iterative step we successively remove triangular shapes from the adjacency matrix. This iterative process leads to the final matrix which has two Sierpiński gaskets aligned along the main diagonal. It will be shown below that this new class of graphs is not a Sierpiński graph, since it is the adjacency matrix which has a structure of a Sierpiński gasket, and not a graph described by this matrix. We call this new class of graphs Sierpiński-Michalewicz-Or lowski-Deng (SMOD) graphs. The most remarkable property of the SMOD class of graphs, is that irrespective of the graph order, the diameter is constant and equals 2. The size of the graph, or the total number of edges, is about 10% of the size of a complete graph of the same order. We analyse important graph theoretic characteristics related to the topology such as diameter as a function of graph order, size, mean path length, ratio of the graph size to the size of a complete graph of the same order, and some spe

A long-standing question in water research is the possibility that supercooled liquid water can undergo a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLT) into high- and low-density liquids. We used several complementary molecular simulation techniques to evaluate the possibility of an LLT in an ab initio neural network model of water trained on density functional theory calculations with the SCAN exchange correlation functional. We conclusively show the existence of a first-order LLT and an associated critical point in the SCAN description of water, representing the first definitive computational evidence for an LLT in water from first principles.
Optical biosensors are often used to measure kinetic rate constants associated with chemical reactions. Such instruments operate in the surface-volume configuration, in which ligand molecules are convected through a f...
