Networks or graphs are widely used across the sciences to represent relationships of many kinds. igraph (https://igraph.org) is a general-purpose software library for graph construction, analysis, and visualisation, combining fast and robust performance with a low entry barrier. igraph pairs a fast core written in C with beginner-friendly interfaces in Python, R, and Mathematica. Over the last two decades, igraph has expanded substantially. It now scales to billions of edges, supports Mathematica and interactive plotting, integrates with Jupyter notebooks and other network libraries, includes new graph layouts and community detection algorithms, and has streamlined the documentation with examples and Spanish translations. Modern testing features such as continuous integration, address sanitizers, stricter typing, and memory-managed vectors have also increased robustness. Hundreds of bug reports have been fixed and a community forum has been opened to connect users and developers. Specific effort has been made to broaden use and community participation by women, non-binary people, and other demographic groups typically underrepresented in open source software.

  1. Tournaments determined by three and five voters

    cs.DM 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Three inducibility conjectures fail: min FAS is always a minimal 3-cycle hitter; α*=2/3 does not imply 3-inducibility; Paley(43) has α*>3/5 yet is not 5-inducible.

  2. Improving exponential-family random graph models for bipartite networks

    stat.ME 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    New node-oriented weighted four-cycle statistics for bipartite ERGMs are defined, implemented, and shown in simulation to avoid phase transitions exhibited by existing alternating two-path terms.

  3. Physics-Based Molecular Fingerprints from Spectral Graph Theory Provide Efficient Geometry-Aware Measures of Chemical Similarity

    physics.chem-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A fixed-length, 3D-aware molecular fingerprint based on graph Laplacian eigenvalues separates conformers and stereoisomers and scales to millions of molecules.

  4. Scalable Spatial Stream Network (S3N) Models

    stat.ME 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    S3N makes spatial stream-network models scalable by using stream-distance nearest neighbors, enabling whole-basin fish distribution mapping in minutes.

  5. Advancing Digital Precision Medicine for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome through Longitudinal Large-Scale Multi-Modal Biological Omics Modeling with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

    q-bio.GN 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A multi-task neural network trained on longitudinal multi-omics data reconstructs ME/CFS symptom scores and distinguishes patients from controls with a reported AUC of 0.91, though external validation is weak.

  6. Economic Disparities and Their Relationship to Destructive Health Behaviors in Five Western U.S. States

    stat.AP 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Exploratory analysis of public county data identifies economic variables most correlated with suicide rates in five western states using PCA, clustering, and LASSO.
