A chief problem in phylogenetics and database theory is the computation of a maximum consistent tree from a set of rooted or unrooted trees. A standard input are triplets, rooted binary trees on three leaves, or quartets, unrooted binary…

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…

Many hard algorithmic problems dealing with graphs, circuits, formulas and constraints admit polynomial-time upper bounds if the underlying graph has small treewidth. The same problems often encourage reducing the maximal degree of vertices…

We consider the process of uncovering the vertices of a random labeled tree according to their labels. First, a labeled tree with $n$ vertices is generated uniformly at random. Thereafter, the vertices are uncovered one by one, in order of…

We present structures comprised of identical convex polyhedra which are interlocked geometrically. These sets cannot be disassembled by removing individual polyhedra by translations and/or rotations. The shapes that permit interlocking…

We extend the notion of a source unfolding of a convex polyhedron P to be based on a closed polygonal curve Q in a particular class rather than based on a point. The class requires that Q "lives on a cone" to both sides; it includes simple,…

We address the unsolved problem of unfolding prismatoids in a new context, viewing a "topless prismatoid" as a convex patch---a polyhedral subset of the surface of a convex polyhedron homeomorphic to a disk. We show that several natural…

Unimodality of the normalized coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of distance matrices of trees are known and bounds on the location of its peak (the largest coefficient) are also known. Recently, an extension of these results to…

In this paper we study a new variant of graph arboricity, which requires all the forests to have the same number of edges (up to a difference of 1). We prove that the new variant, which we call equitable arboricity, is equivalent to…

Let Q_n be the graph of n times n times n cube with all non-decreasing diagonals (including the facial ones) in its constituent unit cubes. Suppose that a subset S of V(Q_n) separates the left side of the cube from the right side. We show…

Refining a classical proof of Whitney, we show that any $4$-connected planar triangulation can be decomposed into a Hamiltonian path and two trees. Therefore, every $4$-connected planar graph decomposes into three forests, one having…

The analysis of objects living on ultrametric trees, in particular the block-diagonalization of 4-replica matrices $M^{\alpha \beta ; \gamma \delta}$, is shown to be dramatically simplified through the introduction of properly chosen…

The problem of comparing trees representing the evolutionary histories of cancerous tumors has turned out to be crucial, since there is a variety of different methods which typically infer multiple possible trees. A departure from the…

We present recursive formulas giving the maximal number of leaves in tree-like polyforms living in two-dimensional regular lattices and in tree-like polycubes in the three-dimensional cubic lattice. We call these tree-like polyforms and…

We develop some theory of spinal decompositions of discrete and continuous fragmentation trees. Specifically, we consider a coarse and a fine spinal integer partition derived from spinal tree decompositions. We prove that for a…

Define the augmented square twist origami crease pattern to be the classic square twist crease pattern with one crease added along a diagonal of the twisted square. In this paper we fully describe the rigid foldability of this new crease…

In this article we classify all the smooth threefolds of P^5 with an apparent quadruple point provided that the family of its 4-secant lines is an irreducible (first order) congruence. This is sufficient to conclude the classification of…

We prove that the tree independence number of every even-hole-free graph is at most polylogarithmic in its number of vertices. More explicitly, we prove that there exists a constant c>0 such that for every integer n>1 every n-vertex…

Deep unrolling, or unfolding, is an emerging learning-to-optimize method that unrolls a truncated iterative algorithm in the layers of a trainable neural network. However, the convergence guarantees and generalizability of the unrolled…

This paper details an algorithm for unfolding a class of convex polyhedra, where each polyhedron in the class consists of a convex cap over a rectangular base, with several restrictions: the cap's faces are quadrilaterals, with vertices…
