We consider the counting problem of the number of \textit{leaf-labeled increasing trees}, where internal nodes may have an arbitrary number of descendants. The set of all such trees is a discrete representation of the genealogies obtained…
We further develop a forcing notion known as Coding with Perfect Trees and show that this poset preserves, in a strong sense, definable $P$-points, definable tight MAD families and definable selective independent families. As a result, we…
We introduce some new symmetric tensor categories based on the combinatorics of trees: a discrete family $\mathcal{D}(n)$, for $n \ge 3$ an integer, and a continuous family $\mathcal{C}(t)$, for $t \ne 1$ a complex number. The construction…
We study the design of efficient algorithms for combinatorial pattern matching. More concretely, we study algorithms for tree matching, string matching, and string matching in compressed texts.
We investigate the rich combinatorial structure of premodel structures on finite lattices whose weak equivalences are closed under composition. We prove that there is a natural refinement of the inclusion order of weak factorization systems…
Trees are useful entities allowing to model data structures and hierarchical relationships in networked decision systems ubiquitously. An ordered tree is a rooted tree where the order of the subtrees (children) of a node is significant. In…
We present an algorithm for computing a maximum agreement subtree of two unrooted evolutionary trees. It takes O(n^{1.5} log n) time for trees with unbounded degrees, matching the best known time complexity for the rooted case. Our…
An and/or tree is usually a binary plane tree, with internal nodes labelled by logical connectives, and with leaves labelled by literals chosen in a fixed set of k variables and their negations. In the present paper, we introduce the first…
A combinatorial Gray code for a set of combinatorial objects is a sequence of all combinatorial objects in the set so that each object is derived from the preceding object by changing a small part. In this paper we design a Gray code for…
Given two messages - as linear sequences of letters, it is immediate to determine whether one can be transformed into the other by simple substitution cipher of the letters. On the other hand, if the letters are carried as labels on nodes…
An $r$-matching in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges in $G$ such that the distance between any two edges is at least $r$. A $2$-matching is also called an induced matching. In this paper, we estimate the maximum number of $r$-matchings…
A caterpillar tree is a connected, acyclic, graph in which all vertices are either a member of a central path, or joined to that central path by a single edge. In other words, caterpillar trees are the class of trees which become path…
A permutation is (1-23-4)-avoiding if it contains no four entries, increasing left to right, with the middle two adjacent in the permutation. Here we give a 2-variable recurrence for the number of such permutations, improving on the…
We prove that every tree on $n$ edges decomposes $K_{nx,nx}$ and $K_{2nx + 1}$ for all positive integers $x$. The said decompositions are obtained by proving that every tree admits a $\vec{\beta}$-labeling (oriented beta-labeling). Our…
Convex clustering refers, for given $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^p$, to the minimization of \begin{eqnarray*} u(\gamma) & = & \underset{u_1, \dots, u_n }{\arg\min}\;\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\lVert x_i - u_i \rVert^2} + \gamma…
Measures of tree balance play an important role in different research areas such as mathematical phylogenetics or theoretical computer science. The balance of a tree is usually quantified in a single number, called a balance or imbalance…
The Collatz conjecture, which posits that any positive integer will eventually reach 1 through a specific iterative process, is a classic unsolved problem in mathematics. This research focuses on designing an efficient algorithm to compute…
We study and classify faithfully balanced modules for the algebra of lower triangular $n$ by $n$ matrices. The theory extends known results about tilting modules, which are classified by binary trees, and counted with the Catalan numbers.…
We initiate a systematic study of utilizing predictions to improve over approximation guarantees of classic algorithms, without increasing the running time. We propose a systematic method for a wide class of optimization problems that ask…
We investigate the structure and reconstruction complexity of Manacher arrays. First, we establish a combinatorial lower bound, proving that the number of rooted tandem repeat trees with $n+1$ genes exceeds the number of distinct Manacher…
