The Wiener index is maximized over the set of trees with the given vertex weight and degree sequences. This model covers the traditional "unweighed" Wiener index, the terminal Wiener index, and the vertex distance index. It is shown that…
Consider the d-dimensional lattice Z^d where each vertex is ``open'' or ``closed'' with probability p or 1-p, respectively. An open vertex v is connected by an edge to the closest open vertex w such that the dth co-ordinates of v and w…
This paper presents a general framework for generating greedy algorithms for solving convex constraint satisfaction problems for sparse solutions by mapping the satisfaction problem into one of graph traversal on a rooted tree of unknown…
The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum distance from $v$ to any other vertex. The vertices whose eccentricity are equal to the diameter (the maximum eccentricity) of $G$ are called peripheral vertices. In trees the…
In this short note we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem for the torsion function: let $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose torsion function $u$ (i.e. the solution to $\Delta u=-1$ in $\Omega$,…
We concern the problem of modifying the edge lengths of a tree in minimum total cost so that the prespecified $p$ vertices become the $p$-maxian with respect to the new edge lengths. This problem is called the inverse $p$-maxian problem on…
We continue the development of real noncommutative (nc) convexity, building on the recent and profound complex theory of Davidson and Kennedy. The present paper focuses on the theory of nc extreme points (and pure and maximal points) and…
We show that an algorithmic construction of sequences of recursive trees leads to a direct proof of the convergence of random recursive trees in an associated Doob-Martin compactification; it also gives a representation of the limit in…
Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…
This paper considers two types of boundary control problems for linear transport equations. The first one shows that transport solutions on a subdomain of a domain X can be controlled exactly from incoming boundary conditions for X under…
In this paper, we study tree--like tableaux, combinatorial objects which exhibit a natural tree structure and are connected to the partially asymmetric simple exclusion process (PASEP). There was a conjecture made on the total number of…
Our primary motivation is existence and uniqueness for the obstacle problem on graphs. That is, we look for unique solutions to the problem $Lu = \chi_{\{u>0\}}$, where $L$ is the Laplacian matrix associated to a graph, and $u$ is a…
The convex shape contained in a disk having prescribed area and maximal perimeter is completely characterized in terms of the area fraction. The solution is always a polygon having all but one sides equal. The lengths of the sides are…
In this paper, we presents novel and sharp bounds on the Albertson index of trees, revealing deep connections between degree sequences and graph irregularity where the Albertson index of Caterpillar tree satisfy \[…
We present a general convex relaxation approach to study a wide class of Unbalanced Optimal Transport problems for finite non-negative measures with possibly different masses. These are obtained as the lower semicontinuous and convex…
We associate with each convex optimization problem, posed on some locally convex space, with infinitely many constraints indexed by the set T, and a given non-empty family H of finite subsets of T, a suitable Lagrangian-Haar dual problem.…
We propose a novel technique, termed compact shape trees, for computing correspondences of single-boundary 2-D shapes in O(n2) time. Together with zero or more features defined at each of n sample points on the shape's boundary, the compact…
We discuss a notion of shuffle for trees which extends the usual notion of a shuffle for two natural numbers. We give several equivalent descriptions, and prove some algebraic and combinatorial properties. In addition, we characterize…
This paper revives a four-decade-old problem concerning regularity theory for (continuous) constraint maps with free boundaries. Dividing the map into two parts, the distance part and the projected image to the constraint, one can prove…
Much information about a graph can be obtained by studying its spanning trees. On the other hand, a graph can be regarded as a 1-dimensional cell complex, raising the question of developing a theory of trees in higher dimension. As observed…
