We propose a novel methodology, forest floor, to visualize and interpret random forest (RF) models. RF is a popular and useful tool for non-linear multi-variate classification and regression, which yields a good trade-off between robustness…
We introduce forest diagrams and strand diagrams for elements of Thompson's group F. A forest diagram is a pair of infinite, bounded binary forests together with an order-preserving bijection of the leaves. Using forest diagrams, we derive…
The induced arboricity of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of induced forests covering the edges of $G$. This is a well-defined parameter bounded from above by the number of edges of $G$ when each forest in a cover consists of exactly one…
A basic statement in graph theory is that every inclusion-maximal forest is connected, i.e. a tree. Using a definiton for higher dimensional forests by Graham and Lovasz and the connectivity-related notion of tightness for hypergraphs…
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…
Forest structural complexity metrics integrate multiple canopy attributes into a single value that reflects habitat quality and ecosystem function. Spaceborne lidar from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) has enabled mapping…
Let $T$ be a rooted tree, and $V(T)$ its set of vertices. A subset $X$ of $V(T)$ is called an infima closed set of $T$ if for any two vertices $u,v\in X$, the first common ancestor of $u$ and $v$ is also in $X$. This paper determines the…
We consider a new IDLA - particle system model, on the upper half planar lattice, resulting in an infinite forest covering the half plane. We prove that almost surely all trees are finite.
In this paper, we introduce the prime trees associated with a finite subset $P$ of the set of all prime numbers, and provide conditions under which the tree is of finite type. Moreover, we compute the density of finite-type subsets $P$. As…
In 2015, Kawarabayashi and Kreutzer proved the Directed Grid Theorem - the generalisation of the well-known Excluded Grid Theorem to directed graphs - confirming a conjecture by Reed, Johnson, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas from the…
We consider two decomposition problems in directed graphs. We say that a digraph is $k$-bounded for some $k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$ if each of its connected components contains at most $k$ arcs. For the first problem, a directed linear…
Cartesian product networks are always regarded as a tool for ``combining'' two given networks with established properties to obtain a new one that inherits properties from both. For a graph $F=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(F)$ of at least…
Given a finite planar graph, a grove is a spanning forest in which every component tree contains one or more of a specified set of vertices (called nodes) on the outer face. For the uniform measure on groves, we compute the probabilities of…
Accurate tree segmentation is a key step in extracting individual tree metrics from forest laser scans, and is essential to understanding ecosystem functions in carbon cycling and beyond. Over the past decade, tree segmentation algorithms…
In this paper we show that every finite spatial graph is a connected sum of a planar graph, which is a forest, i.e. disjoint union of finite number of trees and a tangle. As a consequence we get that any finite spatial graph is a connected…
The Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $L(G)=D(G)-A(G)$, where $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix and $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees. According to the Matrix-Tree Theorem, the number of spanning trees in $G$ is equal to any…
It is proved that the vertex set of any simple graph $G$ can be equitably partitioned into $k$ subsets for any integer $k\geq\max\{\big\lceil\frac{\Delta(G)+1}{2}\big\rceil,\big\lceil\frac{|G|}{4}\big\rceil\}$ so that each of them induces a…
By the Grid Minor Theorem of Robertson and Seymour, every graph of sufficiently large tree-width contains a large grid as a minor. Tree-width may therefore be regarded as a measure of 'grid-likeness' of a graph. The grid contains a long…
We prove the following indistinguishability theorem for $k$-tuples of trees in the uniform spanning forest of $\mathbb{Z}^d$: Suppose that $\mathscr{A}$ is a property of a $k$-tuple of components that is stable under finite modifications of…
We propose a family of graph structural indices related to the Matrix-forest theorem. The properties of the basic index that expresses the mutual connectivity of two vertices are studied in detail. The derivative indices that measure…
