We prove that the number of crossings in a random labelled tree with vertices in convex position is asymptotically Gaussian with mean $ n^2/6$ and variance $ n^3/45$. A similar result is proved for points in general position under mild…

In this paper, we study a regular rooted coloured tree with random labels assigned to its edges, where the distribution of the label assigned to an edge depends on the colours of its endpoints. We obtain some new results relevant to this…

For a prime $p$ we define the Paley graph to be the graph with the set of vertices $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, and with edges connecting vertices whose sum is a quadratic residue. Paley graphs are notoriously difficult to study, particularly…

We compute the number of circuits and of loops with multiple crossings in random regular graphs. We discuss the importance of this issue for the validity of the cavity approach. On the one side we obtain analytic results for the infinite…

We consider a regular $n$-ary tree of height $h$, for which every vertex except the root is labelled with an independent and identically distributed continuous random variable. Taking motivation from a question in evolutionary biology, we…

We develop algorithms, implemented in Maple, that study the number of vertices with a particular number of children in a random ordered tree where all vertices must have a number of children in some finite set. By calculating the mixed…

Let G be a vertex transitive graph. A study of the range of simple random walk on G and of its bridge is proposed. While it is expected that on a graph of polynomial growth the sizes of the range of the unrestricted random walk and of its…

The rainbow arborescence conjecture posits that if the arcs of a directed graph with $n$ vertices are colored by $n-1$ colors such that each color class forms a spanning arborescence, then there is a spanning arborescence that contains…

In 1986, Janson showed that the number of edges in the union of $k$ random spanning trees in the complete graph $K_n$ is a shifted Poisson distribution. Using results from the theory of electrical networks, we provide a new proof of this…

Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology. To each vertex of a graph a random number is assigned and a path through the graph is called accessible if all numbers along the path are in…

This note presents an encoding and a decoding algorithms for a forest of (labelled) rooted uniform hypertrees and hypercycles in linear time, by using as few as $n - 2$ integers in the range $[1,n]$. It is a simple extension of the…

Consider the following process on a simple graph without isolated vertices: Order the edges randomly and keep an edge if and only if it contains a vertex which is not contained in some preceding edge. The resulting set of edges forms a…

Graceful tree conjecture is a well-known open problem in graph theory. Here we present a computational approach to this conjecture. An algorithm for finding graceful labelling for trees is proposed. With this algorithm, we show that every…

We present a very simple bijective proof of Cayley's formula due to Foata and Fuchs (1970). This bijection turns out to be very useful when seen through a probabilistic lens; we explain some of the ways in which it can be used to derive…

For each $\Delta>0$, we prove that there exists some $C=C(\Delta)$ for which the binomial random graph $G(n,C\log n/n)$ almost surely contains a copy of every tree with $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. In doing so, we…
