On connected graphs with finite spectral redundancy index and Pythagorean triplets
This article investigates spectral redundancy, a concept initially introduced by Alberto Seeger. Spectral redundancy arises when different connected induced subgraphs of a graph share the same spectral radius in their adjacency spectrum. Let \(b(G)\) denote the total number of non-isomorphic induced subgraphs of \(G\), and \(c(G)\) represents the cardinality of the set of spectral radius of all connected induced subgraphs of \(G\). The spectral redundancy of a graph \( G \) is defined as the ra…

Self-Adaptive and Robust Federated Spectrum Sensing without Benign Majority for Cellular Networks
Advancements in wireless and mobile technologies, including 5G advanced and the envisioned 6G, are driving exponential growth in wireless devices. However, this rapid expansion exacerbates spectrum scarcity, posing a critical challenge. Dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA)--which relies on sensing and dynamically sharing spectrum--has emerged as an essential solution to address this issue. While machine learning (ML) models hold significant potential for improving spectrum sensing, their adoption …
