Parsing sentences into syntax trees can benefit downstream applications in NLP. Transition-based parsers build trees by executing actions in a state transition system. They are computationally efficient, and can leverage machine learning to…

Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…

A spanning tree $T$ of a connected graph $G$ is a subgraph of $G$ that is a tree covers all vertices of $G$. The leaf distance of $T$ is defined as the minimum of distances between any two leaves of $T$. A fractional matching of a graph $G$…

Using the theoretical basis developed by Yao and Zeilberger, we consider certain graph families whose structure results in a rational generating function for sequences related to spanning tree enumeration. Said families are Powers of Cycles…

We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees, respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to achieve…

We establish relations between the bandwidth and the treewidth of bounded degree graphs G, and relate these parameters to the size of a separator of G as well as the size of an expanding subgraph of G. Our results imply that if one of these…

We here investigate on the complexity of computing the \emph{tree-length} and the \emph{tree-breadth} of any graph $G$, that are respectively the best possible upper-bounds on the diameter and the radius of the bags in a tree decomposition…

The twin-width of a graph measures its distance to co-graphs and generalizes classical width concepts such as tree-width or rank-width. Since its introduction in 2020 (Bonnet et. al. 2020), a mass of new results has appeared relating twin…

In this work, we consider an extension of graphical models to random graphs, trees, and other objects. To do this, many fundamental concepts for multivariate random variables (e.g., marginal variables, Gibbs distribution, Markov properties)…

We describe the implementation of the Giudici-Green Metropolis sampling method for decomposable graphs using a variety of structures to represent the graph. These comprise the graph itself, the Junction tree, the Almond tree and the Ibarra…

Graph encoders in AMR-to-text generation models often rely on neighborhood convolutions or global vertex attention. While these approaches apply to general graphs, AMRs may be amenable to encoders that target their tree-like structure. By…

Motivated by limits of critical inhomogeneous random graphs, we construct a family of sequences of measured metric spaces that we call continuous multiplicative graphs, that are expected to be the universal limit of graphs related to the…

We introduce a graph partitioning problem motivated by computational topology and propose two algorithms that produce approximate solutions. Specifically, given a weighted, undirected graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, we desire to find…

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…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a tree cover is a collection of trees $\mathcal{T}=\{T_1,T_2,...,T_q\}$, such that for every pair of vertices $u,v\in V$ there is a tree $T\in\mathcal{T}$ that contains a $u-v$ path with a small stretch. If the…

Given a connected undirected graph $G$, a spanning tree is a subgraph $T$ of $G$ such that $V(T) = V(G)$ and $T$ is a tree. A collection of $\ell$ spanning trees $T_1,\ldots,T_\ell$ is pairwise $k$-diverse if for every $i \neq j$, $|E(T_i)…

Let $(X,\tau)$ be a Polish space with Borel probability measure $\mu,$ and $G$ a locally finite one-ended Borel graph on $X.$ We show that $G$ admits a Borel one-ended spanning tree generically. If $G$ is induced by a free Borel action of…

Motivated by the question of how macromolecules assemble, the notion of an {\it assembly tree} of a graph is introduced. Given a graph $G$, the paper is concerned with enumerating the number of assembly trees of $G$, a problem that applies…

Knots are commonly represented and manipulated via diagrams, which are decorated planar graphs. When such a knot diagram has low treewidth, parameterized graph algorithms can be leveraged to ensure the fast computation of many invariants…

We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, we show how to build a Steiner forest spanner for such graphs.…
