We define the notion of a spanning tree generating function (STGF) $\sum a_n z^n$, which gives the spanning tree constant when evaluated at $z=1,$ and gives the lattice Green function (LGF) when differentiated. By making use of known…
We study three families of labelled plane trees. In all these trees, the root is labelled 0, and the labels of two adjacent nodes differ by $0, 1$ or -1. One part of the paper is devoted to enumerative results. For each family, and for all…
We perform a pruning procedure on a L\'evy tree and instead of throwing away the removed sub-tree, we regraft it on a given branch (not related to the L\'evy tree). We prove that the tree constructed by regrafting is distributed as the…
An evolutionary tree is a cascade of bifurcations starting from a single common root, generating a growing set of daughter species as time goes by. Species here is a general denomination for biological species, spoken languages or any other…
Bicubic maps are in bijection with \beta(0,1)-trees. We introduce two new ways of decomposing \beta(0,1)-trees. Using this we define an endofunction on \beta(0,1)-trees, and thus also on bicubic maps. We show that this endofunction is in…
We propose a new arithmetic for non-empty rooted unordered trees simply called trees. After discussing tree representation and enumeration, we define the operations of tree addition, multiplication and stretch, prove their properties, and…
Much information about a graph can be obtained by studying its spanning trees. On the other hand, a graph can be regarded as a 1-dimensional cell complex, raising the question of developing a theory of trees in higher dimension. As observed…
We give a Cayley type formula to count the number of spanning trees in the complete r-uniform hypergraph for all r >= 3. Similar to the bijection between spanning trees in complete graphs and Parking functions, we derive a bijection from…
Two-sort species yield differential equations for functional digraphs of Cayley permutations. From these we obtain an explicit formula for fixed-point-free Cayley permutations and prove that their proportion tends to $1/e$, as for…
In 1980, G. Kreweras gave a recursive bijection between forests and parking functions. In this paper we construct a nonrecursive bijection from forests onto parking functions, which answers a question raised by R. Stanley. As a by-product,…
The aim of this paper is to study generating functions for the coefficients of the classical superoscillatory function associated with weak measurements. We also establish some new relations between the superoscillatory coefficients and…
As interdisciplinary science is flourishing because of materials informatics and additional factors; a systematic way is required for expressing knowledge and facilitating communication between scientists in various fields. A function…
Dyck paths are among the most heavily studied Catalan families. This paper is a continuation of [2]. In the paper we are dealing with the numbering of Dyck paths, the terms of the OEIS sequence A036991 or Dyck numbers. We consider triplets…
P\'olya trees are rooted, unlabeled trees on $n$ vertices. This paper gives an efficient, new way to generate P\'olya trees. This allows comparing typical unlabeled and labeled tree statistics and comparing asymptotic theorems with…
Phylogenetic reconstruction aims at finding plausible hypotheses of the evolutionary history of genes or species based on genomic sequence information. The distinction of orthologous genes (genes that having a common ancestry and diverged…
The reconstruction of a central tendency `species tree' from a large number of conflicting gene trees is a central problem in systematic biology. Moreover, it becomes particularly problematic when taxon coverage is patchy, so that not all…
In this paper, we provide algorithms to rank, unrank, and randomly generate certain degree-restricted classes of Cayley trees. Specifically, we consider classes of trees that have a given degree sequence or a given multiset of degrees. If…
We consider stochastic processes with (or without) memory whose evolution is encoded by a finite or infinite rooted tree. The main goal is to compare the entropy rates of a given base process and a second one, to be considered as a…
We present a nice result on the probability of a cycle occurring in a randomly generated graph. We then provide some extensions and applications, including the proof of the famous Cayley formula, which states that the number of labeled…
Most genes are part of larger families of evolutionary related genes. The history of gene families typically involves duplications and losses of genes as well as horizontal transfers into other organisms. The reconstruction of detailed gene…
