A tree $T$ on $2^n$ vertices is called set-sequential if the elements in $V(T)\cup E(T)$ can be labeled with distinct nonzero $(n+1)$-dimensional $01$-vectors such that the vector labeling each edge is the component-wise sum modulo $2$ of…

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.…

A subtree of a tree is any induced subgraph that is again a tree (i.e., connected). The mean subtree order of a tree is the average number of vertices of its subtrees. This invariant was first analyzed in the 1980s by Jamison. An intriguing…

This paper addresses the basic question of how well can a tree approximate distances of a metric space or a graph. Given a graph, the problem of constructing a spanning tree in a graph which strongly preserves distances in the graph is a…

We study compact straight-line embeddings of trees. We show that perfect binary trees can be embedded optimally: a tree with $n$ nodes can be drawn on a $\sqrt n$ by $\sqrt n$ grid. We also show that testing whether a given binary tree has…

A vertex subset of a graph is called a distance-$k$ independent set if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal…

We study the following problem introduced by Dujmovic et al. Given a tree $T = (V,E)$, on $n$ vertices, a set of $n$ lines $\mathcal{L}$ in the plane and a bijection $\iota: V \rightarrow \mathcal{L}$, we are asked to find a crossing-free…

Metric embeddings into structured spaces, particularly hierarchically well-separated trees (HSTs), are a fundamental tool in the design of online algorithms. In the classical online embedding setting, points arrive sequentially and must be…

Over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees or leaf containing subtrees are studied. Here are some of the main results:\ (1)\, Sharp upper bound on the total number…

The largest common embeddable subtree problem asks for the largest possible tree embeddable into two input trees and generalizes the classical maximum common subtree problem. Several variants of the problem in labeled and unlabeled rooted…

We introduce the notion of quota trees in directed graphs. Given a nonnegative integer ``quota'' for each vertex of a directed multigraph $G$, a quota tree is an immersed rooted tree which hits each vertex of $G$ the prescribed number of…

For a labelled tree on the vertex set $[n]:=\{1,2,..., n\}$, define the direction of each edge $ij$ to be $i\to j$ if $i<j$. The indegree sequence of $T$ can be considered as a partition $\lambda \vdash n-1$. The enumeration of trees with a…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…

In this paper we describe an algorithm that embeds a graph metric $(V,d_G)$ on an undirected weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ into a distribution of tree metrics $(T,D_T)$ such that for every pair $u,v\in V$, $d_G(u,v)\leq d_T(u,v)$ and…

In the Fully Leafed Induced Subtrees, one is given a graph $G$ and two integers $a$ and $b$ and the question is to find an induced subtree of $G$ with $a$ vertices and at least $b$ leaves. This problem is known to be NP-complete even when…

The $(n-\ell)$-deck of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of (unlabeled) subgraphs obtained from it by deleting $\ell$ vertices. An $n$-vertex graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its $(n-\ell)$-deck, meaning that no…
