In this work, we study the Induced Matching problem: Given an undirected graph $G$ and an integer $\ell$, is there an induced matching $M$ of size at least $\ell$? An edge subset $M$ is an induced matching in $G$ if $M$ is a matching such…

We destroy a finite tree of size $n$ by cutting its edges one after the other and in uniform random order. Informally, the associated cut-tree describes the genealogy of the connected components created by this destruction process. We…

Given a finite typed rooted tree $T$ with $n$ vertices, the {\em empirical subtree measure} is the uniform measure on the $n$ typed subtrees of $T$ formed by taking all descendants of a single vertex. We prove a large deviation principle in…

A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is an \emph{acyclic matching} if the subgraph of $G$ induced by the endpoints of the edges of $M$ is a forest. Given a graph $G$ and a positive integer $\ell$, Acyclic Matching asks whether $G$ has an acyclic…

For a tree decomposition $\mathcal{T}$ of a graph $G$, by $\mu(\mathcal{T})$ we denote the size of a largest induced matching in $G$ all of whose edges intersect one bag of $\mathcal{T}$. Induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$ is the…
