Given an undirected graph with costs associated with each edge as well as each pair of edges, the quadratic minimum spanning tree problem (QMSTP) consists of determining a spanning tree of minimum total cost. This problem can be used to…
The largest common embeddable subtree problem asks for the largest possible tree embeddable into two input trees and generalizes the classical maximum common subtree problem. Several variants of the problem in labeled and unlabeled rooted…
Given a graph and a root, the Maximum Bounded Rooted-Tree Packing (MBRTP) problem aims at finding K rooted-trees that span the largest subset of vertices, when each vertex has a limited outdegree. This problem is motivated by peer-to-peer…
Given a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a natural number $i \leq n$, let $L_G(i)$ be the maximum number of leaves that can be realized by an induced subtree $T$ of $G$ with $i$ vertices. We introduce a problem that we call the…
We consider the ``minimum degree spanning tree'' problem. As input, we receive an undirected, connected graph $G=(V, E)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges, and our task is to find a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ that minimizes $\max_{u \in V}…
The Maximum Agreement Forest (Maf) problem is a well-studied problem in evolutionary biology, which asks for a largest common subforest of a given collection of phylogenetic trees with identical leaf label-set. However, the previous work…
In the Properly Colored Spanning Tree problem, we are given an edge-colored undirected graph and the goal is to find a properly colored spanning tree, i.e., a spanning tree in which any two adjacent edges have distinct colors. The problem…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with non-negative real edge lengths and an integer parameter $k$, the Min-Max k-Tree Cover problem seeks to find a set of at most $k$ subtrees of $G$, such that the union of the trees is the vertex set $V$. The…
A widely used method for determining the similarity of two labeled trees is to compute a maximum agreement subtree of the two trees. Previous work on this similarity measure is only concerned with the comparison of labeled trees of two…

Depth first search (DFS) tree is one of the most well-known data structures for designing efficient graph algorithms. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the textbook algorithm takes $O(n+m)$ time to…
Tree-based phylogenetic networks, which may be roughly defined as leaf-labeled networks built by adding arcs only between the original tree edges, have elegant properties for modeling evolutionary histories. We answer an open question of…
Broadcasting in a computer network is a method of transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. It is common in this situation to use a tree with many leaves to perform the broadcast, as internal nodes have to forward the…
This paper addresses the problem of designing a sparse {\em fault-tolerant} BFS tree, or {\em FT-BFS tree} for short, namely, a sparse subgraph $T$ of the given network $G$ such that subsequent to the failure of a single edge or vertex, the…
We study the problem of low-stretch spanning trees in graphs of bounded width: bandwidth, cutwidth, and treewidth. We show that any simple connected graph $G$ with a linear arrangement of bandwidth $b$ can be embedded into a distribution…

A typical example that behaves computationally different in subclasses of chordal graphs is the \textsc{Subset Feedback Vertex Set} (SFVS) problem: given a vertex-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V$, the \textsc{Subset…
While it is well-known and acknowledged that the performance of graph algorithms is heavily dependent on the input data, there has been surprisingly little research to quantify and predict the impact the graph structure has on performance.…
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…
