We give several new examples of computable structures of high Scott rank. For earlier known computable structures of Scott rank $\omega_1^{CK}$, the computable infinitary theory is $\aleph_0$-categorical. Millar and Sacks asked whether this…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For every real $\alpha\in\left[ 0,1\right],$ define the matrix $A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) $ as \[ A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) =\alpha…

A countable structure is said to be extendible if it has the same Scott sentence as some uncountable structure. Rigid structures are not extendible. We give an example of an extendible model with a rigid elementary extension.

Finding the set of leaves for an unbounded tree is a nontrivial process in both the Weihrauch and reverse mathematics settings. Despite this, many combinatorial principles for trees are equivalent to their restrictions to trees with leaf…

We show that it is decidable whether a given a regular tree language belongs to the class ${\bf \Delta^0_2}$ of the Borel hierarchy, or equivalently whether the Wadge degree of a regular tree language is countable.

A new tree model is introduced based on ordered trees, by distinguishing exactly one child of each node that \emph{has} children. The basic enumeration leads to a cubic equation of the generating function. The extraction of its coefficients…

We study the spectral Tur\'an problem for trees. To avoid limiting our perspective to specific families of trees, we parametrize trees in terms of their unique bipartition. We say $T \in \mathcal{T}_{m,l+1}^{\delta}$ if $T$ is a tree of…

A poset is Esakia representable when it is isomorphic to the prime spectrum of a Heyting algebra. Notably, every Esakia representable poset is also the spectrum of a commutative ring with unit. The problem of describing the Esakia…

We study the notion of sparseness for regular languages over finite trees and infinite words. A language of trees is called sparse if the relative number of $n$-node trees in the language tends to zero, and a language of infinite words is…

A non-deterministic automaton running on infinite trees is unambiguous if it has at most one accepting run on every tree. The class of languages recognisable by unambiguous tree automata is still not well-understood. In particular,…

This paper investigates some properties of the number of subtrees of a tree with given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize trees with the given degree sequence that have the largest number of subtrees, which generalizes…

A linear forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint paths. The Linear Arboricity Conjecture states that every graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be decomposed into at most $\lceil(\Delta+1)/2\rceil$ linear forests. We prove that $\Delta/2…

It is well known that the spectral radius $\rho(T)$ of a tree $T$ with at least $3$ vertices has the property that $\frac 14\rho(T)^2+1<\Delta(T)\le \rho(T)^2$, where $\Delta(T)$ is the maximum degree of $T$. Let $\mathbb{P}$ denote the set…

Answering one of the main questions of [FHK14, Chapter 7], we show that there is a tight connection between the depth of a classifiable shallow theory $T$ and the Borel rank of the isomorphism relation $\cong^\kappa_T$ on its models of size…

Random Forest (RFs) are among the most widely used Machine Learning (ML) classifiers. Even though RFs are not interpretable, there are no dedicated non-heuristic approaches for computing explanations of RFs. Moreover, there is recent work…
