Species tree estimation is a complex problem, due to the fact that different parts of the genome can have different evolutionary histories than the genome itself. One of the causes for this discord is incomplete lineage sorting (also called…

Phylogenetic trees play a key role in the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships. Typically, they are derived from aligned sequence data (like DNA, RNA, or proteins) by using optimization criteria like, e.g., maximum parsimony (MP).…

Given two phylogenetic trees with the $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ leaf-set the maximum agreement subtree problem asks what is the maximum size of the subset $A \subseteq \{1, \ldots, n\}$ such that the two trees are equivalent when restricted to…

Let $T$ be an oriented tree on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $e^{o(\sqrt{\log n})}$. If $G$ is a digraph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree $\delta^0(G)\geq(\frac12+o(1))n$, then $G$ contains $T$ as a spanning tree, as…

We introduce left and right-layered trees as trees with a specific representation and define the excess of a tree. Applying these ideas, we show a range-relaxed graceful labeling which improves on the upper bound for maximum vertex label…

An \emph{adjacency labeling scheme} for a given class of graphs is an algorithm that for every graph $G$ from the class, assigns bit strings (labels) to vertices of $G$ so that for any two vertices $u,v$, whether $u$ and $v$ are adjacent…

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…

Suppose we label the vertices of a tree by positive integers. The weight of an edge is defined by a monotonically increasing function of the absolute value of the difference of the labels of its endpoints. We define the total cost of the…

Arthur Cayley famously proved that there are n to the power n-2 labeled trees on n vertices. Here we go much further and show how to enumerate, fully automatically, labeled trees such that every vertex has a number of neighbors that belongs…

In this paper, we consider the minimum spanning tree problem (for short, MSTP) on an arbitrary set of $n$ points of $d$-dimensional space in $l_1$-norm. For this problem, for each fixed $d\geq 2$, there is a known algorithm of the…

Individual tree species labels are particularly hard to acquire due to the expert knowledge needed and the limitations of photointerpretation. Here, we present a methodology to automatically mine species labels from public forest inventory…
