We propose a new graph metric and study its properties. In contrast to the standard distance in connected graphs, it takes into account all paths between vertices. Formally, it is defined as d(i,j)=q_{ii}+q_{jj}-q_{ij}-q_{ji}, where q_{ij}…
Sparse trees are trees with sparse branchings. The Laplacian on some of these trees can be shown to have singular spectral measures. We focus on a simple family of sparse trees for which the dimensions can be naturally defined and shown to…
The classical Matrix-Tree Theorem allows one to list the spanning trees of a graph by monomials in the expansion of the determinant of a certain matrix. We prove that in the case of three-graphs (that is, hypergraphs whose edges have…
In this paper we consider the problem of connected edge searching of weighted trees. It is shown that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for finding optimal connected search strategy for bounded degree trees with arbitrary weights on…
One can estimate the change of the Perron and Fiedler values for a connected network when the weight of an edge is perturbed by analyzing relevant entries of the Perron and Fiedler vectors. This is helpful for identifying edges whose weight…
We consider multiplicative semigroups of real dxd matrices. A semigroup S is called Perron if each of its matrices has a Perron eigenvalue, i.e., an eigenvalue equal to the spectral radius. If all matrices of S leave a proper convex cone…
We define a graph Laplacian with vertex weights in addition to the more classical edge weights, which unifies the combinatorial Laplacian and the normalised Laplacian. Moreover, we give a combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of…
In this thesis the properties of two kinds of non-uniform random recursive trees are studied. In the first model weights are assigned to each node, thus altering the attachment probabilities. We will call these trees weighted recursive…
Matrix properties are a type of property of categories which includes the ones of being Mal'tsev, arithmetical, majority, unital, strongly unital and subtractive. Recently, an algorithm has been developed to determine implications…
We consider an edge-weighted uniform random graph with a given degree sequence (Repeated Configuration Model) which is a useful approximation for many real-world networks. It has been observed that the vertices which are separated from the…
We give factorizations for weighted spanning tree enumerators of Cartesian products of complete graphs, keeping track of fine weights related to degree sequences and edge directions. Our methods combine Kirchhoff's Matrix-Tree Theorem with…
The characteristic polynomials of the adjacency matrix of line graphs of caterpillars and then the characteristic polynomials of their Laplacian or signless Laplacian matrices are characterized, using recursive formulas. Furthermore, the…
One of the main virtues of trees is to represent formal solutions of various functional equations which can be cast in the form of fixed point problems. Basic examples include differential equations and functional (Lagrange) inversion in…
Pairwise comparison matrices and the weight vectors obtained from them are important concepts in multi-criteria decision making. A weight vector calculated from a pairwise comparison matrix is called Pareto efficient if the approximation of…
A uniform recursive tree on $n$ vertices is a random tree where each possible $(n-1)!$ labeled recursive rooted tree is selected with equal probability. In this paper we introduce and study weighted trees, a non-uniform recursive tree model…
Tree-based methods are powerful nonparametric techniques in statistics and machine learning. However, their effectiveness, particularly in finite-sample settings, is not fully understood. Recent applications have revealed their surprising…
Maxmin trees are labeled trees with the property that each vertex is either a local maximum or a local minimum. Such trees were originally introduced by Postnikov, who gave a formula to count them and different combinatorial interpretations…
Treemaps are a popular technique to visualize hierarchical data. The input is a weighted tree $\tree$ where the weight of each node is the sum of the weights of its children. A treemap for $\tree$ is a hierarchical partition of a rectangle…
We equip the edges of a deterministic graph $H$ with independent but not necessarily identically distributed weights and study a generalized version of matchings (i.e. a set of vertex disjoint edges) in $H$ satisfying the property that…
In this paper we prove that if we consider the standard real metric on simplicial rooted trees then the category Tower-Set of inverse sequences can be described by means of the bounded coarse geometry of the naturally associated trees.…
