Halin conjectured that a graph has a normal spanning tree if and only if every minor of it has countable colouring number. This has recently been proven by the second author. In this paper, we strengthen this result by establishing the…

We show, under natural conditions, that uniform rooted trees with fixed degree sequence converge after renormalization toward inhomogeneous continuum random trees (ICRT). We also provide a sharp upper-bound for the tail of their heights. We…

For a labeled tree on the vertex set $\set{1,2,\ldots,n}$, the local direction of each edge $(i\,j)$ is from $i$ to $j$ if $i<j$. For a rooted tree, there is also a natural global direction of edges towards the root. The number of edges…

The reverse Wiener index of a connected graph $G$ is a variation of the well-known Wiener index $W(G)$ defined as the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of vertices of $G$. It is defined as $\Lambda(G)=\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)d-W(G)$,…

Fricke, Hedetniemi, Hedetniemi, and Hutson asked whether every tree with domination number $\gamma$ has at most $2^\gamma$ minimum dominating sets. Bien gave a counterexample, which allows to construct forests with domination number…

Motivated by online recommendation systems, we study a family of random forests. The vertices of the forest are labeled by integers. Each non-positive integer $i\le 0$ is the root of a tree. Vertices labeled by positive integers $n \ge 1$…

The ternary betweenness relation of a tree, B(x,y,z) expresses that y is on the unique path between x and z. This notion can be extended to order-theoretic trees defined as partial orders such that the set of nodes larger than any node is…

Tree rotations (left and right) are basic local deformations allowing to transform between two unlabeled binary trees of the same size. Hence, there is a natural problem of practically finding such transformation path with low number of…

An open partition \pi{} [Cod09a, Cod09b] of a tree T is a partition of the vertices of T with the property that, for each block B of \pi, the upset of B is a union of blocks of \pi. This paper deals with the number, NP(n), of open…

The last in-tree recognition problem asks whether a given spanning tree can be derived by connecting each vertex with its rightmost left neighbor of some search ordering. In this study, we demonstrate that the last-in-tree recognition…

We propose a new arithmetic for non-empty rooted unordered trees simply called trees. After discussing tree representation and enumeration, we define the operations of tree addition, multiplication and stretch, prove their properties, and…

We look at a family of meta-Fibonacci sequences which arise in studying the number of leaves at the largest level in certain infinite sequences of binary trees, restricted compositions of an integer, and binary compact codes. For this…

There is a unique path from the root of a tree to any other vertex. Every vertex, except the root, has a parent: the adjoining vertex on this unique path. This is the conventional definition of the parent vertex. For complete binary trees,…

A graph is called set-sequential if its vertices can be labeled with distinct nonzero vectors in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ such that when each edge is labeled with the sum$\pmod{2}$ of its vertices, every nonzero vector in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ is the…

In 1998, B\"{o}cker and Dress gave a 1-to-1 correspondence between symbolically dated rooted trees and symbolic ultrametrics. We consider the corresponding problem for unrooted trees. More precisely, given a tree $T$ with leaf set $X$ and a…

Let $T$ be a tree with a given adjacency eigenvalue $\lambda$. In this paper, by using the $\lambda$-minimal trees, we determine the structure of trees with a given multiplicity of the eigenvalue $\lambda$. Furthermore, we consider the…

Trees are partial orders in which every element has a linearly ordered set of predecessors. Here we initiate the exploration of the structural theory of trees with the study of different notions of \emph{branching in trees} and of…

For any set $X$, ${\mathcal P}(X)$ denotes the collection of all subsets of $X$, ordered by inclusion. A {\it cutset} in ${\mathcal P}(X)$ is a subset of ${\mathcal P}(X)$ which meets every maximal chain of ${\mathcal P}(X)$. A cutset is…

Mader [J. Graph Theory 65 (2010) 61-69] conjectured that for every positive integer $k$ and every finite tree $T$ with order $m$, every $k$-connected, finite graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\geq \lfloor\frac{3}{2}k\rfloor+m-1$ contains a subtree…

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…
