This paper investigates linear programming based branch-and-bound using general disjunctions, also known as stabbing planes, for solving integer programs. We derive the first sub-exponential lower bound (in the encoding length $L$ of the…

Thin spanning trees lie at the intersection of graph theory, approximation algorithms, and combinatorial optimization. They are central to the long-standing \emph{thin tree conjecture}, which asks whether every $k$-edge-connected graph…

We observe that a standard transformation between \emph{ordinal} trees (arbitrary rooted trees with ordered children) and binary trees leads to interesting succinct binary tree representations. There are four symmetric versions of these…

We study the notion of sparseness for regular languages over finite trees and infinite words. A language of trees is called sparse if the relative number of $n$-node trees in the language tends to zero, and a language of infinite words is…

Many natural language processing (NLP) tasks involve reasoning with textual spans, including question answering, entity recognition, and coreference resolution. While extensive research has focused on functional architectures for…

We consider the Thompson-Stein group F(n_1,...,n_k) for integers n_1,...,n_k and k greater than 1. We highlight several differences between the cases k=1$ and k>1, including the fact that minimal tree-pair diagram representatives of…

A spanning tree of a graph is a connected subgraph on all vertices with the minimum number of edges. The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is given by Matrix Tree Theorem in terms of principal minors of Laplacian matrix of $G$. We…

Span program is a linear-algebraic model of computation originally proposed for studying the complexity theory. Recently, it has become a useful tool for designing quantum algorithms. In this paper, we present a time-efficient…

An interval matrix is a matrix whose entries are intervals in the set of real numbers. We generalize this concept, which has been broadly studied, to other fields. Precisely we define a rational interval matrix to be a matrix whose entries…

The signature of a spanning tree $T$ of the $n$-cube $Q_n$ is the $n$-tuple $\mathrm{sig}(T)=(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n)$ such that $a_i$ is the number of edges of $T$ in the $i$th direction. We characterise the $n$-tuples that can occur as the…

Let $R(n)$ denote the number of rich words of length $n$ over a given finite alphabet. In 2017 it was proved that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sqrt[n]{R(n)}=1$; it means the number of rich words has a subexponential growth. However, up to…

To a definable subset of Z_p^n (or to a scheme of finite type over Z_p) one can associate a tree in a natural way. It is known that the corresponding Poincare series P(X) = \sum_i N_i X^i is rational, where N_i is the number of nodes of the…

Tree representations of (sets of) symmetric binary relations, or equivalently edge-colored undirected graphs, are of central interest, e.g.\ in phylogenomics. In this context symbolic ultrametrics play a crucial role. Symbolic ultrametrics…

A hyperbinary partition of the nonnegative integer n is a partition where every part is a power of 2 and every part appears at most twice. We give three applications of the length generating function for such partitions, denoted by h_q(n).…

It is shown that every tree of size $n$ over a fixed set of $\sigma$ different ranked symbols can be decomposed (in linear time as well as in logspace) into $O\big(\frac{n}{\log_\sigma n}\big) = O\big(\frac{n \log \sigma}{\log n}\big)$ many…

Consider the nearest neighbor graph for the integer lattice Z^d in d dimensions. For a large finite piece of it, consider choosing a spanning tree for that piece uniformly among all possible subgraphs that are spanning trees. As the piece…

This paper studies Minimum Spanning Trees under incomplete information for its vertices. We assume that no information is available on the precise placement of vertices so that it is only known that vertices belong to some neighborhoods…

We study the rational dynamics of the map $\mathcal{T}(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor(1+\{x\})$, which appears in the recursive construction of the prime-representing constant of Fridman, Garbulsky, Glecer, Grime and Florentin. For a rational number…

The notion of a word-representable graph has been studied in a series of papers in the literature. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if…

Motivated by online recommendation systems, we study a family of random forests. The vertices of the forest are labeled by integers. Each non-positive integer $i\le 0$ is the root of a tree. Vertices labeled by positive integers $n \ge 1$…
