Decision Trees have remained a popular machine learning method for tabular datasets, mainly due to their interpretability. However, they lack the expressiveness needed to handle highly nonlinear or unstructured datasets. Motivated by recent…
The strong thin tree conjecture states that every $k$-edge-connected graph $G$ contains an $O(1/k)$-thin spanning tree, meaning a spanning tree which contains at most an $O(1/k)$ fraction of the edges across each cut in $G$. This conjecture…
It is a surprising fact that the proportion of integer lattice points visible from the origin is exactly $\frac{6}{\pi^2}$, or approximately 60 percent. Hence, approximately 40 percent of the integer lattice is hidden from the origin. Since…
We will say that an infinite tree $T$ is almost a ray if $T$ is the union of a ray and a finite tree. Let $l$ be a non-degenerate labeling of the vertex set $V$ of almost a ray $T$ and let $d_l$ be the corresponding ultrametric on $V$. It…
The analysis of the multi-layer structure of wild forests is an important challenge of automated large-scale forestry. While modern aerial LiDARs offer geometric information across all vegetation layers, most datasets and methods focus only…
Let $H$ be a graph and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a hereditary class of theta-free graphs such that $H\notin \mathcal{C}$. We prove that if (a) $H$ is a forest; and (b) $\mathcal{C}$ excludes the line graphs of all subdivisions of some wall, then…
Gromov asked what a typical (finitely presented) group looks like, and he suggested a way to make the question precise in terms of limiting density. The typical finitely generated group is known to share some important properties with the…
Chernyshev, Rauch, and Rautenbach proved that every connected graph on $n$ vertices with less than $\frac{11}{5}n-\frac{18}{5}$ edges has a vertex cut that induces a forest, and conjectured that the same remains true if the graph has less…
We prove the existence of harmonic functions $f$ on trees, with respect to suitable transient transition operators $P$, that satisfy an analogue of Menshov universal property in the following sense: $f$ is the Poisson transform of a…
An arborescence of a directed graph $\Gamma$ is a spanning tree directed toward a particular vertex $v$. The arborescences of a graph rooted at a particular vertex may be encoded as a polynomial $A_v(\Gamma)$ representing the sum of the…
Random forests is a state-of-the-art supervised machine learning method which behaves well in high-dimensional settings although some limitations may happen when $p$, the number of predictors, is much larger than the number of observations…
The product dimension of a graph G is defined as the minimum natural number l such that G is an induced subgraph of a direct product of l complete graphs. In this paper we study the product dimension of forests, bounded treewidth graphs and…
We introduce a new adaptive and fully Bayesian grid-based method to model strong gravitational lenses with extended images. The primary goal of this method is to quantify the level of luminous and dark-mass substructure in massive galaxies,…
This is an account of the theory of JSJ decompositions of finitely generated groups, as developed in the last twenty years or so. We give a simple general definition of JSJ decompositions (or rather of their Bass-Serre trees), as maximal…
We consider the Directed Spanning Forest (DSF) constructed as follows: given a Poisson point process N on the plane, the ancestor of each point is the nearest vertex of N having a strictly larger abscissa. We prove that the DSF is actually…
In this paper, a new concept in graphs namely well-f-coveredness is introduced. We characterize all graphs with such property, whose maximum induced forests are of boundary order. Also we prove several propositions concerning with obtaining…
In the face of uncertain biological response to climate change and the many critiques concerning model complexity it is increasingly important to develop predictive mechanistic frameworks that capture the dominant features of ecological…
We present convincing empirical evidence for an effective and general strategy for building accurate small models. Such models are attractive for interpretability and also find use in resource-constrained environments. The strategy is to…
The ultra-light scalar fields can arise ubiquitously, for instance, as a result of the spontaneous breaking of an approximate symmetry such as the axion and more generally the axion-like particles. In addition to the particle physics…
We show that for every homomorphism $\Gamma^+ \to S$ where $S$ is a finite semigroup there exists a factorization forest of height $\leq 3 \abs{S}$. The proof is based on Green's relations.
