Percolation theory can be used to describe the structural properties of complex networks using the generating function formulation. This mapping assumes that the network is locally tree-like and does not contain short-range loops between…

Originally motivated by algebraic invariant theory, we present an algorithm to enumerate integer vectors modulo the action of a permutation group. This problem generalizes the generation of unlabeled graph up to an isomorphism. In this…

Inflation models are compared with observation on the assumption that the curvature perturbation is generated from the vacuum fluctuation of the inflaton field. The focus is on single-field models with canonical kinetic terms, classified as…

We review the Schr\"odinger picture of field theory in curved spacetime and using this formalism, the power spectrum of massive non-interacting, minimally coupled scalars in a fixed de Sitter background is obtained. To calculate the N-point…

A graph has tree-width at most $k$ if it can be obtained from a set of graphs each with at most $k+1$ vertices by a sequence of clique sums. We refine this definition by, for each non-negative integer $\theta$, defining the…

Thermal history after inflation is studied in a chaotic inflation model with supersymmetric couplings of the inflaton to matter fields. Time evolution equation is solved in a formalism that incorporates both the back reaction of particle…

The evolution of inflationary fluctuations can be recast as an inverse scattering problem. In this context, we employ the Gel'fand-Levitan method from inverse-scattering theory to reconstruct the evolution of both the inflaton field…

We present a constraint model for the problem of producing a tree decomposition of a graph. The inputs to the model are a simple graph G, the number of nodes in the desired tree decomposition and the maximum cardinality of each node in that…

We propose a new parametrization of the background equations of motion corresponding to (canonical) single-field models of inflation, which allows a better understanding of the general properties of the solutions and of the corresponding…

The second derivative of a function r(t) with respect to a variable t is equal to -n times the function raised to the 2n-1 power of r(t); using this definition, an ordinary differential equation is constructed. Graphs with the horizontal…

While the notion of arboricity of a graph is well-known in graph theory, very few results are dedicated to the minimal number of trees covering the edges of a graph, called the tree number of a graph.

A new tree model is introduced based on ordered trees, by distinguishing exactly one child of each node that \emph{has} children. The basic enumeration leads to a cubic equation of the generating function. The extraction of its coefficients…

Tree sets are abstract structures that can be used to model various tree-shaped objects in combinatorics. Finite tree sets can be represented by finite graph-theoretical trees. We extend this representation theory to infinite tree sets.…

A recursive function on a tree is a function in which each leaf has a given value, and each internal node has a value equal to a function of the number of children, the values of the children, and possibly an explicitly specified random…

We reexamine inflation due to a constrained inflaton in the model of a complex scalar. Inflaton evolves along a spiral-like valley of special scalar potential in the scalar field space just like single field inflation. Sub-Planckian…

The single scalar field inflationary models that lead to scalar and tensor perturbation spectra with amplitudes varying in direct proportion to one another are reconstructed by solving the Stewart-Lyth inverse problem to next-to-leading…
