In this paper, we present a complete characterization of mutual-visibility sets in trees. It is shown that a subset $S$ is a mutual-visibility set of a tree $T$ if and only if it coincides with the set of leaves of the Steiner subtree…

We prove that the wired uniform spanning forest exhibits mean-field behaviour on a very large class of graphs, including every transitive graph of at least quintic volume growth and every bounded degree nonamenable graph. Several of our…

For a given metric space $(P,\phi)$, a tree cover of stretch $t$ is a collection of trees on $P$ such that edges $(x,y)$ of trees receive length $\phi(x,y)$, and such that for any pair of points $u,v\in P$ there is a tree $T$ in the…

The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is a degree-based molecular descriptor that found diverse chemical applications. Characterizing trees with minimum ABC-index remained an elusive open problem even after serious attempts and is…

A tree-based network $\mathcal N$ on $X$ is universal if every rooted binary phylogenetic $X$-tree is a base tree for $\mathcal N$. Hayamizu and, independently, Zhang constructively showed that, for all positive integers $n$, there exists…

In this paper, we investigate the structures of an extremal tree which has the minimal number of subtrees in the set of all trees with the given degree sequence of a tree. In particular, the extremal trees must be caterpillar and but in…

We compute the continuous bounded cohomology of the full automorphism groups of regular trees in all positive degrees, with coefficients arising from any irreducible continuous unitary representations. To the author's knowledge, this seems…

For a given tree tensor network $G$, we call a tuple of bond dimensions minimal if there exists a tensor $T$ that can be represented by this network but not on the same tree topology with strictly smaller bond dimensions. We establish…

Let $G=$ $\left( V,E\right) $ be a simple graph.\ A non-empty set $S \subseteq V$ is called a global offensive alliance if $S$ is a dominating set and for every vertex $v$ in $V-S$, at least half of the vertices from the closed neighborhood…

The Tree Decomposition Conjecture by Bar\'at and Thomassen states that for every tree $T$ there exists a natural number $k(T)$ such that the following holds: If $G$ is a $k(T)$-edge-connected simple graph with size divisible by the size of…

A quasiconformal tree $T$ is a (compact) metric tree that is doubling and of bounded turning. We call $T$ trivalent if every branch point of $T$ has exactly three branches. If the set of branch points is uniformly relatively separated and…

A tree with at most k leaves is called k-ended tree, and a tree with exactly k leaves is called k-end tree, where a leaf is a vertex of degree one. Contraction of a graph G along the edge e means deleting the edge e and identifying its end…

The global structure of the minimal spanning tree (MST) is expected to be universal for a large class of underlying random discrete structures. However, very little is known about the intrinsic geometry of MSTs of most standard models, and…

We show that the diameter of a uniformly drawn spanning tree of a connected graph on $n$ vertices which satisfies certain high-dimensionality conditions typically grows like $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$. In particular this result applies to…
