The component size of a graph is the maximum number of edges in any connected component of the graph. Given a graph $G$ and two integers $k$ and $c$, $(k,c)$-Decomposition is the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits an edge partition into…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be an unrooted binary tree with $n$ distinctly labelled leaves. Deriving its name from the field of phylogenetics, a convex character on $\mathcal{T}$ is simply a partition of the leaves such that the minimal spanning…

It is known that for every $\alpha \geq 1$ there is a planar triangulation in which every ball of radius $r$ has size $\Theta(r^\alpha)$. We prove that for $\alpha <2$ every such triangulation is quasi-isometric to a tree. The result…

With the aim of studying subspaces in pointfree bitopology, we characterize extremal epimorphism in biframes and show that a smallest dense one always exists, providing an analogue of Isbell's Density Theorem. Further we study the…

We investigate the structure of trees that have minimal algebraic connectivity among all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that such trees are caterpillars and that the vertex degrees are non-decreasing on every path on…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

Linek's 1989 problem asks whether the numbers of independent sets of trees avoid infinitely many positive integers. We show that the set of natural numbers realized as the number of independent sets of a tree has a lower growth exponent of…

Rooted binary perfect phylogenies provide a generalization of rooted binary unlabeled trees in which each leaf is assigned a positive integer value that corresponds in a biological setting to the count of the number of indistinguishable…

We construct a tree T of maximal degree 3 with infinitely many leaves such that whenever finitely many of them are removed, the remaining tree is isomorphic to T. In this sense T resembles an infinite star.

We study the problem of estimating the density $f(\boldsymbol x)$ of a random vector ${\boldsymbol X}$ in $\mathbb R^d$. For a spanning tree $T$ defined on the vertex set $\{1,\dots ,d\}$, the tree density $f_{T}$ is a product of bivariate…

It is known that the size of the largest common subtree (i.e., the maximum agreement subtree) of two independent random binary trees with $n$ given labeled leaves is of order between $n^{0.366}$ and $n^{1/2}$. We improve the lower bound to…

If $\Gamma$ is the nullity space of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold $M^n$, it is well known that if its dimension is constant and if $M^n$ is complete then the distribution $\Gamma$ is completely integrable with flat leaves.…

If K is an odd-dimensional flag closed manifold, flag generalized homology sphere or a more general flag weak pseudomanifold with sufficiently many vertices, then the maximal number of edges in K is achieved by the balanced join of cycles.…

Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…

For a loopless multigraph $G$, the fractional arboricity $Arb(G)$ is the maximum of $\frac{|E(H)|}{|V(H)|-1}$ over all subgraphs $H$ with at least two vertices. Generalizing the Nash-Williams Arboricity Theorem, the Nine Dragon Tree…

This paper presents an empirical study of the relationship between the density of small-medium sized random graphs and their planarity. It is well known that, when the number of vertices tends to infinite, there is a sharp transition…

This paper introduces a new combinatorial framework for modeling the growth of binary trees through a discrete evolution process that incorporates a growing rule and an extinction rule. Building upon the theory of increasingly labeled…

Consider a random uniform sample of $n$ points in a compact region $A$ of Euclidean $d$-space, $d \geq 2$, with a smooth or (when $d=2$) polygonal boundary. Fix $k \in {\bf N}$. Let $T_{n,k}$ be the threshold $r$ at which the geometric…

We show the density theorem for the class of finite oriented trees ordered by the homomorphism order. We also show that every interval of oriented trees, in addition to be dense, is in fact universal. We end by considering the fractal…

We consider special cases of the two tree degree sequences problem. We show that if two tree degree sequences do not have common leaves then they always have edge-disjoint caterpillar realizations. By using a probabilistic method, we prove…
