We apply so-called tree straight-line programs to the problem of lossless compression of binary trees. We derive upper bound on the maximal pointwise redundancy (or worst-case redundancy) that improve previous bounds obtained by Zhang,…

We prove that every connected triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced tree on $\exp(c\sqrt{\log n})$ vertices, where $c$ is a positive constant. The best known upper bound is $(2+o(1))\sqrt n$. This partially answers…

In this paper and a companion paper, we prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as…

We give two consistent constructions of trees $T$ whose finite power $T^{n+1}$ is sharply different from $T^n$: 1. An $\aleph_1$-tree $T$ whose interval topology $X_T$ is perfectly normal, but $(X_T)^2$ is not even countably metacompact. 2.…

Let $T$ be an infinite rooted tree with weights $w_e$ assigned to its edges. Denote by $m_n(T)$ the minimum weight of a path from the root to a node of the $n$th generation. We consider the possible behaviour of $m_n(T)$ with focus on the…

The arboreal gas is the random (unrooted) spanning forest of a graph in which each forest is sampled with probability proportional to $\beta^{\# \text{edges}}$ for some $\beta\geq 0$, which arises as the $q\to 0$ limit of the…

We consider random binary trees that appear as the output of certain standard algorithms for sorting and searching if the input is random. We introduce the subtree size metric on search trees and show that the resulting metric spaces…

We show that an infinite weighted tree admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into Hilbert space if and only if it does not contain arbitrarily large complete binary trees with uniformly bounded distortion. We also introduce a new metric invariant…

A set of points with finite density is constructed in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with $d\geq2$, by adding points to a Poisson process such that any line segment of length $O\left(\varepsilon^{-(d-1)}\ln\varepsilon^{-1}\right)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ will…

A $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch tree cover of an edge-weighted $n$-vertex graph $G$ is a collection of trees, where every pair of vertices has a $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch path in one of the trees. The celebrated Dumbbell Theorem by Arya et. al.…

Inspired by biological evolution, we consider the following so-called accessibility percolation problem: The vertices of the unoriented $n$-dimensional binary hypercube are assigned independent $U(0, 1)$ weights, referred to as fitnesses. A…

A $(1+\varepsilon)\textit{-stretch tree cover}$ of a metric space is a collection of trees, where every pair of points has a $(1+\varepsilon)$-stretch path in one of the trees. The celebrated $\textit{Dumbbell Theorem}$ [Arya et~al.…

The first main result of this paper is that the law of the (rescaled) two-dimensional uniform spanning tree is tight in a space whose elements are measured, rooted real trees continuously embedded into Euclidean space. Various properties of…

We prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as a subgraph. Our result confirms, for…

We consider a continuous time random walk on the rooted binary tree of depth $n$ with all transition rates equal to one and study its cover time, namely the time until all vertices of the tree have been visited. We prove that, normalized by…

Given $d\geq 2$ and two rooted $d$-ary trees $D$ and $T$ such that $D$ has $k$ leaves, the density $\gamma(D,T)$ of $D$ in $T$ is the proportion of all $k$-element subsets of leaves of $T$ that induce a tree isomorphic to $D$, after erasing…

In this paper, we estimate the weak saturation numbers of trees. As a case study, we examine caterpillars and obtain several tight estimates. In particular, this implies that for any $\alpha\in [1,2]$, there exist caterpillars with $k$…

Bounded infinite graphs are defined on the basis of natural physical requirements. When specialized to trees this definition leads to a natural conjecture that the average connectivity dimension of bounded trees cannot exceed two. We verify…

We consider two axioms of second-order arithmetic. These axioms assert, in two different ways, that infinite but narrow binary trees always have infinite paths. We show that both axioms are strictly weaker than Weak K\"onig's Lemma, and…

Tree sets are abstract structures that can be used to model various tree-shaped objects in combinatorics. Finite tree sets can be represented by finite graph-theoretical trees. We extend this representation theory to infinite tree sets.…
