We give a short proof of Cayley's tree formula for counting the number of different labeled trees on $n$ vertices. The following nonlinear recursive relation for the number of labeled trees on $n$ vertices is deduced from a combinatorial…
We present an extension of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) that strongly increases its efficiency for trees with asymmetry and/or loops. Asymmetric termination of search trees introduces a type of uncertainty for which the standard upper…
Counterfactual explanations (CEs) are advocated as being ideally suited to providing algorithmic recourse for subjects affected by the predictions of machine learning models. While CEs can be beneficial to affected individuals, recent work…
This list presents problems in the Reverse Mathematics of infinitary Ramsey theory which I find interesting but do not personally have the techniques to solve. The intent is to enlist the help of those working in Reverse Mathematics to take…
Trees are very agreeable objects to work with, offering a diversity of behaviour within a structure that is sufficiently simple to admit precise analysis. Thus we are able to offer fairly satisfactory necessary and sufficient conditions on…
The arboricity $\Gamma(G)$ of an undirected graph $G =(V,E)$ is the minimal number $k$ such that $E$ can be partitioned into $k$ forests on $V$. Nash-Williams' formula states that $k = \lceil \gamma(G) \rceil$, where $\gamma(G)$ is the…
We characterize when a weighted backward shift is chain recurrent on the $\ell^p$ ($1\leq p<\infty$) and $c_0$ spaces of a directed tree. The characterization is given in terms of two divergence conditions on the weights: a forward…
Over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees or leaf containing subtrees are studied. Here are some of the main results:\ (1)\, Sharp upper bound on the total number…
We prove a general Ramsey theorem for trees with a successor operation. This theorem is a common generalization of the Carlson-Simpson Theorem and the Milliken Tree Theorem for regularly branching trees. Our theorem has a number of…
We consider the in-plane motion of elastic strings on tree-like network, observed from the 'leaves'. We investigate the inverse problem of recovering not only the physical properties i.e. the 'optical lengths' of each string, but also the…
In 2006 Bonato and Tardif posed the Tree Alternative Conjecture (TAC): the equivalence class of a tree under the embeddability relation is, up to isomorphism, either trivial or infinite. In 2022 LaFlamme, et al. provided a rigorous…
This is a review paper on recent work about the connections between rough path theory, the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra on rooted trees and the analysis of finite and infinite dimensional differential equation. We try to explain and motivate…
When considering the number of subtrees of trees, the extremal structures which maximize this number among binary trees and trees with a given maximum degree lead to some interesting facts that correlate to other graphical indices in…
We introduce two notions of convexity for an infinite regular tree. For these two notions we show that given a continuous boundary datum there exists a unique convex envelope on the tree and characterize the equation that this envelope…
We give a parity reversing involution on noncrossing trees that leads to a combinatorial interpretation of a formula on noncrossing trees and symmetric ternary trees in answer to a problem proposed by Hough. We use the representation of…
We study the reverse mathematics and computability of countable graph theory, obtaining the following results. The principle that every countable graph has a connected component is equivalent to $\mathsf{ACA}_0$ over $\mathsf{RCA}_0$. The…
The notion of tree network has sparked renewed interest in recent years, particularly in computer science and biology (neural network). However, this notion is usually interpreted in an extremely restrictive way: essentially linked to data…
The transition matrix of a Markov chain $(X_k,k\geq 0)$ on a finite or infinite rooted tree is said to be almost upper-directed if, given $X_k$, the node $X_{k+1}$ is either a descendant of $X_k$ or the parent of $X_k$. It is said to be…
Linear tree constraints were introduced by Hofmann and Rodriguez in the context of amortized resource analysis for object oriented programs. More precisely, they gave a reduction from inference of resource types to constraint solving. Thus,…
We design a reversible version of truly concurrent process algebra CTC which is called RCTC. It has good properties modulo several kinds of strongly forward-reverse truly concurrent bisimulations and weakly forward-reverse truly concurrent…
