This paper derives a unifying theorem establishing consistency results for a broad class of tree-based algorithms. It improves current results in two aspects. First of all, it can be applied to algorithms that vary from traditional Random…

Consider the following game. We are given a tree $T$ and two players (say) Alice and Bob who alternately colour an edge of a tree (using one of $k$ colours). If all edges of the tree get coloured, then Alice wins else Bob wins. Game…

A branchwise-real tree is a partial order which is a tree and in which every branch is isomorphic to a real interval. I give constructions of such trees which are both rigid (i.e. without non-trivial order-automorphisms) and uniform (in two…

We provide a new approach for proving the indistinguishability of connected components of random one-or-two-ended oriented forests on unimodular random graphs. In particular, this approach leads to a new and simpler proof for the wired…

Recursive partitioning is the core of several statistical methods including CART, random forest, and boosted trees. Despite the popularity of tree based methods, to date, there did not exist methods for combining multiple trees into a…

The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that for every forest $H$ and every integer $k$, if $G$ is $H$-free and does not contain a clique on $k$ vertices then it has bounded chromatic number. (A graph is $H$-free if it does not contain an…

Trees or rooted trees have been generously studied in the literature. A forest is a set of trees or rooted trees. Here we give recurrence relations between the number of some kind of rooted forest with $k$ roots and that with $k+1$ roots on…

For a graph $G$, a $k$-coloring $c:V(G)\to \{1,2,\ldots, k\}$ is called distinguishing, if the only automorphism $f$ of $G$ with the property $c(v)=c(f(v))$ for every vertex $v\in G$ (color-preserving automorphism), is the identity. In this…

We count unlabeled k-trees by properly coloring them in k+1 colors and then counting orbits of these colorings under the action of the symmetric group on the colors.

Binary relations derived from labeled rooted trees play an import role in mathematical biology as formal models of evolutionary relationships. The (symmetrized) Fitch relation formalizes xenology as the pairs of genes separated by at least…

For an integer $q\ge 2$ and an even integer $d$, consider the graph obtained from a large complete $q$-ary tree by connecting with an edge any two vertices at distance exactly $d$ in the tree. This graph has clique number $q+1$, and the…

We prove that a graph with a cut vertex whose deletion produces at least five connected components must be missing a connected partition of some type. We prove that this also holds if there are four connected components that each have at…

We propose an algorithm named best-scored random forest for binary classification problems. The terminology "best-scored" means to select the one with the best empirical performance out of a certain number of purely random tree candidates…

We study completely independent spanning trees (CIST), \textit{i.e.}, trees that are both edge-disjoint and internally vertex-disjoint, in split graphs. We establish a correspondence between the existence of CIST in a split graph and some…

A graph $G$ is \emph{chordless} if no cycle in $G$ has a chord. In the present work we investigate the chromatic index and total chromatic number of chordless graphs. We describe a known decomposition result for chordless graphs and use it…

Let G be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G. Each vertex of V(G) is colored by a color from the set of colors {c_1, c_2,\dots, c_{\alpha}}. We take a subset S of V(G), such that for every vertex v in V(G)\S, at…

The chromatic polynomial $\pi_{G}(k)$ of a graph $G$ can be viewed as counting the number of vertices in a family of coloring graphs $\mathcal C_k(G)$ associated with (proper) $k$-colorings of $G$ as a function of the number of colors $k$.…
