The Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize the number of edges over all graphs which do not contain fixed subgraphs. Similarly, the spectral Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize spectral radius of all graphs which do not…
We introduce and investigate the approximability of the maximum binary tree problem (MBT) in directed and undirected graphs. The goal in MBT is to find a maximum-sized binary tree in a given graph. MBT is a natural variant of the…
The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is a degree-based molecular descriptor that found diverse chemical applications. Characterizing trees with minimum ABC-index remained an elusive open problem even after serious attempts and is…
Chordal graphs are intersection graphs of subtrees of a tree T. We investigate the complexity of the partial representation extension problem for chordal graphs. A partial representation specifies a tree T' and some pre-drawn subtrees of…
In this paper extremal values of the difference between several graph invariants related to the metric dimension are studied: mixed metric dimension, edge metric dimension and strong metric dimension. These non-trivial extremal values are…
Tropical geometry with the max-plus algebra has been applied to statistical learning models over tree spaces because geometry with the tropical metric over tree spaces has some nice properties such as convexity in terms of the tropical…
In this paper we establish all extremal graphs with respect to augmented eccentric connectivity index among all (simple connected) graphs, among trees and among trees with perfect matching. For graphs that turn out to be extremal explicit…
We characterize the extremal trees that maximize the number of almost-perfect matchings, which are matchings covering all but one or two vertices, and those that maximize the number of strong almost-perfect matchings, which are matchings…
Ultametrics are an important class of distances used in applications such as phylogenetics, clustering and classification theory. Ultrametrics are essentially distances that can be represented by an edge-weighted rooted tree so that all of…
The Steiner Tree problem is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization: the goal is to connect a set $T$ of terminals in a graph $G$ by a tree of minimum size. Karpinski and Zelikovsky (1996) studied the $\delta$-dense version of…
All four invariants of the mutual-visibility problem and, all four invariants of the general position problem are determined for glued binary trees. The number of the corresponding extremal sets is obtained in each of the eight situations.…
In network flow problems, there is a well-known one-to-one relationship between extreme points of the feasibility region and trees in the associated undirected graph. The same is true for the dual differential problem. In this paper, we…
We study extremal properties of finite ultrametric spaces $X$ and related properties of representing trees $T_X$. The notion of weak similarity for such spaces is introduced and related morphisms of labeled rooted trees are found. It is…
For a graph $G$, let $\lambda_1(G)$ and $\lambda_2(G)$ denote the largest and the second largest adjacency eigenvalue of $G$. The sum $\lambda_1(G) + \lambda_2(G)$ is called the \emph{spectral sum} of $G$. We investigate the spectral sum of…

Fitting distances to tree metrics and ultrametrics are two widely used methods in hierarchical clustering, primarily explored within the context of numerical taxonomy. Given a positive distance function…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. The Sombor index of the graph $G$ is a degree-based topological index, defined as $$SO(G)=\sum_{uv \in E}\sqrt{d(u)^2+d(v)^2},$$ in which $d(x)$ is the degree of the…
Sombor index is a novel topological index, which was introduced by Gutman and defined for a graph $G$ as $SO(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d_{u}^{2}+d_{v}^{2}}$, where $d_{u}=d_{G}(u)$ denotes the degree of vertex $u$ in graph $G$.…
