Tree-size distribution is one of the most investigated subjects in plant population biology. The forestry literature reports that tree-size distribution trajectories vary across different stands and/or species, while the metabolic scaling…

We establish uniform sub-exponential tail bounds for the width, height and maximal outdegree of critical Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees conditioned on having a large fixed size, whose offspring distribution belongs to the domain of…

Let i.i.d. symmetric Bernoulli random variables be associated to the edges of a binary tree having n levels. To any leaf of the tree, we associate the sum of variables along the path connecting the leaf with the tree root. Let M_n denote…

This work proves new probability bounds relating to the height, width, and size of Galton-Watson trees. For example, if $T$ is any Galton-Watson tree, and $H$, $W$, and $|T|$ are the height, width, and size of $T$, respectively, then $H/W$…

Bounded infinite graphs are defined on the basis of natural physical requirements. When specialized to trees this definition leads to a natural conjecture that the average connectivity dimension of bounded trees cannot exceed two. We verify…

Two kinds of evolving trees are considered here: the exponential trees, where subsequent nodes are linked to old nodes without any preference, and the Barab\'asi--Albert scale-free networks, where the probability of linking to a node is…

We consider planar rooted random trees whose distribution is even for fixed height $h$ and size $N$ and whose height dependence is given by a power function $h^\alpha$. Defining the total weight for such trees of fixed size to be $Z_N$, a…

We consider a sequence $\mathbf{T} = (\mathcal{T}_n : n \in \mathbb{N}^+)$ of trees $\mathcal{T}_n$ where, for some $\Delta \in \mathbb{N}^+$ every $\mathcal{T}_n$ has height at most $\Delta$ and as $n \to \infty$ the minimal number of…

Different questions related with analysis of extreme values and outliers arise frequently in practice. To exclude extremal observations and outliers is not a good decision because they contain important information about the observed…

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…

The hierarchical and recursive expressive capability of rooted trees is applicable to represent statistical models in various areas, such as data compression, image processing, and machine learning. On the other hand, such hierarchical…

The asymptotic results that underlie applications of extreme random fields often assume that the variables are located on a regular discrete grid, identified with $\mathbb{Z}^2$, and that they satisfy stationarity and isotropy conditions.…

The Harary index of a graph $G$ is recently introduced topological index, defined on the reverse distance matrix as $H(G)=\sum_{u,v \in V(G)}\frac{1}{d(u,v)}$, where $d(u,v)$ is the length of the shortest path between two distinct vertices…
