The subtrees and BC-subtrees (subtrees where any two leaves are at even distance apart) have been extensively studied in recent years. Such structures, under special constraints on degrees, have applications in many fields. Through an…

Let $\T_{n}$ be the set of rooted labeled trees on $\set{0,...,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of a rooted labeled tree is defined by the maximal subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study a new…

In this note, we obtain an upper bound on the maximum number of distinct non-empty palindromes in starlike trees. This bound implies, in particular, that there are at most $4n$ distinct non-empty palindromes in a starlike tree with three…

We show that a tree of order $n$ has at most $O(5^{n/4})$ nonisomorphic subtrees, and that this bound is best possible. We also prove an analogous result for the number of nonisomorphic rooted subtrees of a rooted tree.

Let $\mathcal{O}_n$ be the set of ordered labeled trees on ${0,...,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of an ordered labeled tree is defined by the maximal ordered subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study…

Given a tree T, one can define the local mean at some subtree S to be the average order of subtrees containing S. It is natural to ask which subtree of order k achieves the maximal/minimal local mean among all the subtrees of the same order…

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 show that a one-ended, locally finite, measurable graph on a standard probability space admits a measurable one-ended spanning subtree if and only if it is measure-hyperfinite. This answers a question posed by Bowen, Poulin, and Zomback…

We prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as a subgraph. Our result confirms, for…

We prove that the road space of an R-special tree is contractible and that a locally metrizable space containing a copy of an uncountable $\omega_1$-compact subspace of a tree is not. We also raise some questions about possible…

We prove polynomial upper and lower bounds on the expected size of the maximum agreement subtree of two random binary phylogenetic trees under both the uniform distribution and Yule-Harding distribution. This positively answers a question…

We show that the expected size of the maximum agreement subtree of two $n$-leaf trees, uniformly random among all trees with the shape, is $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$. To derive the lower bound, we prove a global structural result on a decomposition…

Assuming $\rm PFA$, we shall use internally club $\omega_1$-guessing models as side conditions to show that for every tree $T$ of height $\omega_2$ without cofinal branches, there is a proper and $\aleph_2$-preserving forcing notion with…

We prove that each finite chain in the two-branching countable ultrahomogeneous pseudotree has finite big Ramsey degrees. This is in contrast to the recent result of Chodounsk\'{y}, Eskew, and Weinert that antichains of size two have…

We answer three questions posed by Bubeck and Linial on the limit densities of subtrees in trees. We prove there exist positive $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ such that every tree that is neither a path nor a star has inducibility at…

This paper is a contribution to the problem of counting geometric graphs on point sets. More concretely, we look at the maximum numbers of non-crossing spanning trees and forests. We show that the so-called double chain point configuration…

A variant of the Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture, posed by Havet, Reed, Stein and Wood, states that every graph with minimum degree at least $\lfloor 2k/3 \rfloor$ and maximum degree at least $k$ contains a copy of every tree with $k$ edges.…

We consider critical multitype Bienaym\'e trees that are either irreducible or possess a critical irreducible component with attached subcritical components. These trees are studied under two distinct conditioning frameworks: first,…

A drawing of a given (abstract) tree that is a minimum spanning tree of the vertex set is considered aesthetically pleasing. However, such a drawing can only exist if the tree has maximum degree at most 6. What can be said for trees of…

In this paper we show how to find nearly optimal embeddings of large trees in several natural classes of graphs. The size of the tree T can be as large as a constant fraction of the size of the graph G, and the maximum degree of T can be…
