We show that several new classes of groups are measure strongly treeable. In particular, finitely generated groups admitting planar Cayley graphs, elementarily free groups, and the group of isometries of the hyperbolic plane and all its…

A finite non-increasing sequence of positive integers $d = (d_1\geq \cdots\geq d_n)$ is called a degree sequence if there is a graph $G = (V,E)$ with $V = \{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ and $deg(v_i)=d_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$. In that case we say that…

Let G = (V,E) be a finite, simple and undirected graph. For $S \subseteq V$, let $\delta(S,G) = \{(u,v) \in E : u \in S \mbox {and} v \in V-S \}$ be the edge boundary of $S$. Given an integer $i$, $1 \leq i \leq | V |$, let the edge…

We consider unimodular random rooted trees (URTs) and invariant forests in Cayley graphs. We show that URTs of bounded degree are the same as the law of the component of the root in an invariant percolation on a regular tree. We use this to…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ and $\partial(G)$ is the spectral radius of the distance matrix $D(G)$ of $G$. The transmission $D_i$ of vertex $i$ is the $i$-th row sum of $D(G)$. Denote by $D_{\max}(G)$ the maximum of…

Extremal graphical models are sparse statistical models for multivariate extreme events. The underlying graph encodes conditional independencies and enables a visual interpretation of the complex extremal dependence structure. For the…

In this paper we study the the average order of dominating sets in a graph, $\operatorname{avd}(G)$. Like other average graph parameters, the extremal graphs are of interest. Beaton and Brown (2021) conjectured that for all graphs $G$ of…

Given a connected undirected graph $G$, a spanning tree is a subgraph $T$ of $G$ such that $V(T) = V(G)$ and $T$ is a tree. A collection of $\ell$ spanning trees $T_1,\ldots,T_\ell$ is pairwise $k$-diverse if for every $i \neq j$, $|E(T_i)…

In network flow problems, there is a well-known one-to-one relationship between extreme points of the feasibility region and trees in the associated undirected graph. The same is true for the dual differential problem. In this paper, we…

A vertex set $S$ is a generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ contains no tree on $k$ vertices. The generalized $k$-independence number $\alpha_k(G)$ is the maximum size of such a set. For a tree $T$ with $n$…

We introduce a containment relation of hypergraphs which respects linear orderings of vertices and investigate associated extremal functions. We extend, by means of a more generally applicable theorem, the n.log n upper bound on the ordered…
