Tree path minimum query problem is a fundamental problem while processing trees, and is used widely in minimum spanning tree verification and randomized minimum spanning tree algorithms. In this paper, we study the possibility of building…
We consider the task of properly PAC learning decision trees with queries. Recent work of Koch, Strassle, and Tan showed that the strictest version of this task, where the hypothesis tree $T$ is required to be optimally small, is NP-hard.…
Fix a bounded $3$-polygon $(\Omega; x_1, x_2, x_3)$ with three marked boundary points $x_1, x_2, x_3\in\partial\Omega$ and suppose $(\Omega^{\delta}; x_1^{\delta}, x_2^{\delta}, x_3^{\delta})$ is an approximation of $(\Omega; x_1, x_2,…
The systematic study of Tur\'an-type extremal problems for edge-ordered graphs was initiated by Gerbner et al. arXiv:2001.00849. They conjectured that the extremal functions of edge-ordered forests of order chromatic number 2 are…
A general formulation is presented for continuum scaling limits of stochastic spanning trees. A spanning tree is expressed in this limit through a consistent collection of subtrees, which includes a tree for every finite set of endpoints in…
We present a linear programming based algorithm for computing a spanning tree $T$ of a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\Re^d$, such that its crossing number is $O(\min(t \log n, n^{1-1/d}))$, where $t$ the minimum crossing number of any spanning…
This paper is a contribution to the problem of counting geometric graphs on point sets. More concretely, we look at the maximum numbers of non-crossing spanning trees and forests. We show that the so-called double chain point configuration…
The connected tree-width of a graph is the minimum width of a tree-decomposition whose parts induce connected subgraphs. Long cycles are examples of graphs that have small tree-width but large connected tree-width. We show that a graph has…
We prove limit theorems for sums of functions of subtrees of binary search trees and random recursive trees. In particular, we give simple new proofs of the fact that the number of fringe trees of size $ k=k_n $ in the binary search tree…
It is known that the size of the largest common subtree (i.e., the maximum agreement subtree) of two independent random binary trees with $n$ given labeled leaves is of order between $n^{0.366}$ and $n^{1/2}$. We improve the lower bound to…
For an arbitrary (3,L) QC-LDPC code with a girth of twelve, a tight lower bound of the consecutive lengths is proposed. For an arbitrary length above the bound the resultant code necessarily has a girth of twelve, and for the length meeting…
We introduce our new binary tree code for neighbour search and gravitational force calculations in an N-particle system. The tree is built in a "top-down" fashion by "recursive coordinate bisection" where on each tree level we split the…
The Colless index is one of the oldest and most widely used balance indices for rooted bifurcating trees. Despite its popularity, its minimum value on the space $\mathcal{T}_n$ of rooted bifurcating trees with $n$ leaves is only known when…
We show that the growth of a unimodular random rooted tree $(T,o)$ of degree bounded by $d$ always exists, assuming its upper growth passes the critical threshold $\sqrt{d-1}$. This complements Timar's work who showed the possible…
In this paper, we study the upper bounds for discrete Steklov eigenvalues on trees via geometric quantities. For a finite tree, we prove sharp upper bounds for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue by the reciprocal of the size of the…
We investigate the zero-forcing number for triangle-free graphs. We improve upon the trivial bound, $\delta \le Z(G)$ where $\delta$ is the minimum degree, in the triangle-free case. In particular, we show that $2 \delta - 2 \le Z(G)$ for…
In this paper we prove a scaling limit result for the component of the root in the Wired Minimal Spanning Forest (WMSF) of the Poisson-Weighted Infinite Tree (PWIT), where the latter tree arises as the local weak limit of the Minimal…
The most popular algorithms for generation of minimal spanning tree are Kruskal and Prim algorithm. Many algorithms have been proposed for generation of all spanning tree. This paper deals with generation of all possible spanning trees in…
The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we obtain two combinatorial results on the number…
We provide a constructive characterization of the trees for which the Roman domination number strongly equals the weak Roman domination number, that is, for which every weak Roman dominating function of minimum weight is a Roman dominating…
