On Computing the Multiplicity of Cycles in Bipartite Graphs Using the Degree Distribution and the Spectrum of the Graph
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Counting short cycles in bipartite graphs is a fundamental problem of interest in the analysis and design of low-density parity-check codes. The vast majority of research in this area is focused on algorithmic techniques. Most recently, Blake and Lin proposed a computational technique to count the number of cycles of length g in a bi-regular bipartite graph, where g is the girth of the graph. The information required for the computation is the node degree and the multiplicity of the nodes on both sides of the partition, as well as the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the graph (graph spectrum). In this paper, the result of Blake and Lin is extended to compute the number of cycles of length g+2, ... , 2g-2, for bi-regular bipartite graphs, as well as the number of 4-cycles and 6-cycles in irregular and half-regular bipartite graphs, with g ≥ 4 and g ≥ 6, respectively.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
