Robertson and Seymour proved two fundamental theorems about tangles in graphs: the tree-of-tangles theorem, which says that every graph has a tree-decomposition such that distinguishable tangles live in different nodes of the tree, and the…

When the plane is pie-sliced in $n\leq 4$ parts (with nonempty interior and common vertex at the origin) our main result provides a sufficient condition for any map $L$, that is continuous and piecewise linear relatively to this slicing, to…

We prove that given a fixed finite tree $P$, almost all trees contain $P$ as a subtree. Moreover, the inclusion can be made so that it induces an embedding of the corresponding (quantum) automorphism groups, thereby providing generic…

The Pathwidth Theorem states that if a class of graphs has unbounded pathwidth, then it contains all trees as graph minors. We prove a similar result for dense graphs. More precisely, we give a finite family of tree-like patterns and prove…

In this paper, we present a complete characterization of mutual-visibility sets in trees. It is shown that a subset $S$ is a mutual-visibility set of a tree $T$ if and only if it coincides with the set of leaves of the Steiner subtree…

A self-contained account of the theory of structure trees for edge cuts in networks is given. Applications include a generalisation of the Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem to infinite networks and a short proof of a conjecture of Kropholler. This…

We study the spectral Tur\'an problem for trees. To avoid limiting our perspective to specific families of trees, we parametrize trees in terms of their unique bipartition. We say $T \in \mathcal{T}_{m,l+1}^{\delta}$ if $T$ is a tree of…

By the theorem of Mantel $[5]$ it is known that a graph with $n$ vertices and $\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor+1$ edges must contain a triangle. A theorem of Erd\H{o}s gives a strengthening: there are not only one, but at least…

In this paper a generalized topological central point theorem is proved for maps of a simplex to finite-dimensional metric spaces. Similar generalizations of the Tverberg theorem are considered.

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 Bar\'at-Thomassen conjecture asserts that there is a function $f$ such that for every fixed tree $T$ with $t$ edges, every graph which is $f(t)$-edge-connected with its number of edges divisible by $t$ has a partition of its edges into…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

Let $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ $(d\geq 2)$. A set $S$ is said to be $m$-point convex, if for every $m$ distinct points in $S$, at least one of the line-segments determined by them lies in $S$. We also say that $S$ has property $P_m$. Let…

We prove that if $T_1,\dots, T_n$ is a sequence of bounded degree trees so that $T_i$ has $i$ vertices, then $K_n$ has a decomposition into $T_1,\dots, T_n$. This shows that the tree packing conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as and Lehel from 1976…
