Let $T$ be a distinguished subset of vertices in a graph $G$. A $T$-\emph{Steiner tree} is a subgraph of $G$ that is a tree and that spans $T$. Kriesell conjectured that $G$ contains $k$ pairwise edge-disjoint $T$-Steiner trees provided…

Answering a question of Goode, we show that $k$-triviality collapses to (1-)triviality among simple theories. In particular, every stable theory with quantifier elimination in a relational language of bounded arity is trivial. We use our…

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 Rabin tree theorem yields an algorithm to solve the satisfiability problem for monadic second-order logic over infinite trees. Here we solve the probabilistic variant of this problem. Namely, we show how to compute the probability that…

In this paper we define some new labellings for trees, called the in-improper and out-improper odd-graceful labellings such that some trees labelled with the new labellings can induce graceful graphs having at least a cycle. We, next, apply…

We study the asymptotic distribution of integers sharing the same rooted-tree structure that encodes their complete prime factorization tower. For each tree we derive an explicit density formula depending only on a pair $(m,k)$, the density…

Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance, yet existing decoding strategies either explore blindly (random sampling) or redundantly (independent multi-sampling). We propose Entropy-Tree, a tree-based decoding method that…

We prove a new formula for the generating function of multitype Cayley trees counted according to their degree distribution. Using this formula we recover and extend several enumerative results about trees. In particular, we extend some…

New applications of data mining, such as in biology, bioinformatics, or sociology, are faced with large datasetsstructured as graphs. We introduce a novel class of tree-shapedpatterns called tree queries, and present algorithms for…

In this paper, we introduce novel variations on several well-known model-theoretic tree properties, and prove several equivalences to known properties. Motivated by the study of generalized indiscernibles, we introduce the notion of the…

We consider a temporal logic EF+F^-1 for unranked, unordered finite trees. The logic has two operators: EF\phi, which says "in some proper descendant \phi holds", and F^-1\phi, which says "in some proper ancestor \phi holds". We present an…

Courcelle's Theorem states that on graphs $G$ of tree-width at most $k$ with a given tree-decomposition of size $t(G)$, graph properties $\mathcal{P}$ definable in Monadic Second Order Logic can be checked in linear time in the size of…

In this paper two new graph operations are introduced, and with them the S-trees are studied in depth. This allows to find \(\{-1,0,1\}\)-basis for all the fundamental subspaces of the adjacency matrix of any tree, and to understand in…

A power law degree distribution is established for a graph evolution model based on the graph class of k-trees. This k-tree-based graph process can be viewed as an idealized model that captures some characteristics of the preferential…

We prove that graphs G, G' satisfy the same sentences of first-order logic with counting of quantifier rank at most k if and only if they are homomorphism-indistinguishable over the class of all graphs of tree depth at most k. Here G, G'…

Non-well-founded trees are used in mathematics and computer science, for modelling non-well-founded sets, as well as non-terminating processes or infinite data-structures. Categorically, they arise as final coalgebras for polynomial…

Reverse search is a convenient method for enumerating structured objects, that can be used both to address theoretical issues and to solve data mining problems. This method has already been successfully developed to handle unordered trees.…

Eliciting preferences from human judgements is inherently imprecise, yet most decision analysis methods force a single priority vector from pairwise comparisons, discarding the information embedded in inconsistencies. We instead leverage…
