We show that the expected size of the maximum agreement subtree of two $n$-leaf trees, uniformly random among all trees with the shape, is $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$. To derive the lower bound, we prove a global structural result on a decomposition…

We investigate the number of permutations that occur in random labellings of trees. This is a generalisation of the number of subpermutations occurring in a random permutation. It also generalises some recent results on the number of…

As a flexible nonparametric learning tool, the random forests algorithm has been widely applied to various real applications with appealing empirical performance, even in the presence of high-dimensional feature space. Unveiling the…

We prove that for any fixed $k$, the probability that a random vertex of a random increasing plane tree is of rank $k$, that is, the probability that a random vertex is at distance $k$ from the leaves, converges to a constant $c_k$ as the…

To each sequence $(a_n)$ of positive real numbers we associate a growing sequence $(T_n)$ of continuous trees built recursively by gluing at step $n$ a segment of length $a_n$ on a uniform point of the pre-existing tree, starting from a…

We determine the sharp threshold for the containment of all $n$-vertex trees of bounded degree in random geometric graphs with $n$ vertices. This provides a geometric counterpart of Montgomery's threshold result for binomial random graphs,…

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 $n \ge 1$…

Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper, we study the convergence of a random tree sequence where the…

We prove that the uniform unlabelled unrooted tree with n vertices and vertex degrees in a fixed set converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense after a suitable rescaling to the Brownian continuum random tree. This proves a conjecture by…

A subtree of a tree is any induced subgraph that is again a tree (i.e., connected). The mean subtree order of a tree is the average number of vertices of its subtrees. This invariant was first analyzed in the 1980s by Jamison. An intriguing…

We consider the process of uncovering the vertices of a random labeled tree according to their labels. First, a labeled tree with $n$ vertices is generated uniformly at random. Thereafter, the vertices are uncovered one by one, in order of…

Frequent tree mining asks us to enumerate tree patterns that occur frequently in a database of rooted trees. This problem is motivated by tree-structured data in bioinformatics, such as glycans and pseudoknot-free RNA secondary structures.…
