We note some interesting properties of the class of point processes which are Markov with respect to the 'connected component' relation. Results in the literature imply that this class is closed under ...

An innovative approach to solving a stubborn, but elementary, question in graph theory — the mathematical study of networks of nodes and their connections — may signal the first major theoretical ...

Connected component labeling (CCL) is a fundamental operation within image processing and computer vision, serving as the backbone for tasks such as object recognition, segmentation, and analysis. At ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...
