We give exact values and bounds on the isoperimetric peak of complete trees, improving on known results. For the complete $q$-ary tree of depth $d$, if $q\ge 5$, then we find that the isoperimetric peak equals $d$, completing an open…

The singularity degree of a semidefinite programming problem is the smallest number of facial reduction steps to make the problem strictly feasible. We introduce two new graph parameters, called the singularity degree and the nondegenerate…

A new 2-parameter family of central structures in trees, called central forests, is introduced. Minieka's $m$-center problem and McMorris's and Reid's central-$k$-tree can be seen as special cases of central forests in trees. A central…

We examine the adjacency spectrum of trees with diameter three, also referred to as double stars. Using $P_2(a,b)$ to denote a double star with $ a$ and $b$ leaves at its respective endpoints, we discuss graphs which are cospectral to…

In this paper, we study some spanning trees with bounded degree and leaf degree from eigenvalues. For any integer $k\geq2$, a $k$-tree is a spanning tree in which every vertex has degree no more than $k$. Let $T$ be a spanning tree of a…

We prove that every graph has a canonical tree of tree-decompositions that distinguishes all principal tangles (these include the ends and various kinds of large finite dense structures) efficiently. Here `trees of tree-decompositions' are…

While finite graphs have tree-decompositions that efficiently distinguish all their tangles, locally finite graphs with thick ends need not have such tree-decompositions. We show that every locally finite graph without thick ends admits…

The subtrees and BC-subtrees (subtrees where any two leaves are at even distance apart) have been extensively studied in recent years. Such structures, under special constraints on degrees, have applications in many fields. Through an…

We consider the eccentric graph of a graph $G$, denoted by $ecc(G)$, which has the same vertex set as $G$, and two vertices in the eccentric graph are adjacent iff their distance in $G$ is equal to the eccentricity of one of them. In this…

We consider packing tree degree sequences in this paper. We set up a conjecture that any arbitrary number of tree degree sequences without common leaves have edge disjoint tree realizations. This conjecture is known to be true for $2$ and…

The girth of a graph $G$ is the length of a shortest cycle of $G$. Jiang (JCT-B, 2001) showed that every graph $G$ with girth at least $2\ell+1$ and minimum degree at least $k/\ell$ contains every tree $T$ with $k$ edges whose maximum…

The Linear Arboricity Conjecture asserts that the linear arboricity of a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ is $\lceil (\Delta+1)/2 \rceil$. For a $2k$-regular graph $G$, this implies $la(G) = k+1$. In this note, we utilize a network flow…

We prove that every oriented tree on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree appears as a spanning subdigraph of every directed graph on $n$ vertices with minimum semidegree at least $n/2+o(n)$. This can be seen as a directed graph…

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…

For a forbidden graph $L$, let $ex(p;L)$ denote the maximal number of edges in a simple graph of order $p$ not containing $L$. Let $T_n$ denote the unique tree on $n$ vertices with maximal degree $n-2$, and let $T_n^*=(V,E)$ be the tree on…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is a tight $r$-tree if its edges can be ordered so that every edge $e$ contains a vertex $v$ that does not belong to any preceding edge and the set $e-v$ lies in some preceding edge. A conjecture of Kalai [Kalai],…

A weighted recursive tree is an evolving tree in which vertices are assigned random vertex-weights and new vertices connect to a predecessor with a probability proportional to its weight. Here, we study the maximum degree and near-maximum…

A \emph{tree-partition} of a graph $G$ is a proper partition of its vertex set into `bags', such that identifying the vertices in each bag produces a forest. The \emph{tree-partition-width} of $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a bag…

For a simple graph $G$, the energy $E(G)$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of its adjacent matrix. For $\Delta\geq 3$ and $t\geq 3$, denote by $T_a(\Delta,t)$ (or simply $T_a$) the tree formed from a path…

For a graph $G$, let $c_k(G)$ be the number of spanning trees of $G$ with maximum degree at most $k$. For $k \ge 3$, it is proved that every connected $n$-vertex $r$-regular graph $G$ with $r \ge \frac{n}{k+1}$ satisfies $$ c_k(G)^{1/n} \ge…
