We explore new connections between complete non-ambiguous trees (CNATs) and permutations. We give a bijection between tree-like tableaux and a specific subset of CNATs. This map is used to establish and solve a recurrence relation for the…
We prove factorization of the generating functional of connected tree diagrams by exploring that it is the Legendre transform of the action. This theorem is then applied to the example of a massive real scalar field theory in 2D. In the…
In this paper, we prove that the self-dual morphological hierarchical structure computed on a n-D gray-level wellcomposed image u by the algorithm of G{\'e}raud et al. [1] is exactly the mathematical structure defined to be the tree of…
Based on decision trees, many fields have arguably made tremendous progress in recent years. In simple words, decision trees use the strategy of "divide-and-conquer" to divide the complex problem on the dependency between input features and…
We evaluate combinatorially certain connection coefficients of the symmetric group that count the number of factorizations of a long cycle as a product of three permutations. Such factorizations admit an important topological interpretation…
It is known that all but finitely many leaves of a measured foliated 2-complex of thin type are quasi-isometric to an infinite tree with at most two topological ends. We show that if the foliation is cooriented, and the associated R-tree is…
We find a Thron-type continued fraction (T-fraction) for the ordinary generating function of the Ward polynomials, as well as for some generalizations employing a large (indeed infinite) family of independent indeterminates. Our proof is…
The monadic second-order theory of trees allows quantification over elements and over arbitrary subsets. We classify the class of trees with respect to the question: does a tree T have a definable choice function (by a monadic formula with…
Trees or rooted trees have been generously studied in the literature. A forest is a set of trees or rooted trees. Here we give recurrence relations between the number of some kind of rooted forest with $k$ roots and that with $k+1$ roots on…
We establish an inequality which involves a non-negative function defined on the vertices of a finite $m$-ary regular rooted tree. The inequality may be thought of as relating an interaction energy defined on the free vertices of the tree…
We give a descriptive construction of trees for multi-ended graphs, which yields yet another proof of Stallings' theorem on ends of groups. Even though our proof is, in principle, not very different from already existing proofs and it draws…
A sunlet is a cycle with a pendant edge attached at each vertex of the cycle. For the bipartite toroidal grid graphs $C_{2n} \Box C_{2n}$, factorizations into sunlets are given by homomorphisms from disjoint unions of $s$ copies of a sunlet…
In this paper the Erdos-Rado theorem is generalized to the class of well founded trees.
Topological phylogenetic trees can be assigned edge weights in several natural ways, highlighting different aspects of the tree. Here the rooted triple and quartet metrizations are introduced, and applied to formulate novel fast methods of…
A bijection between ternary trees with $n$ nodes and a subclass of Motzkin paths of length $3n$ is given. This bijection can then be generalized to $t$-ary trees.
The known bijections on Dyck paths are either involutions or have notoriously intractable cycle structure. Here we present a size-preserving bijection on Dyck paths whose cycle structure is amenable to complete analysis. In particular, each…
The monadic second-order theory of trees allows quantification over elements and over arbitrary subsets. We classify the class of trees with respect to the question: does a tree T have definable Skolem functions (by a monadic formula with…
The Ward numbers $W(n,k)$ combinatorially enumerate set partitions with block sizes $\geq 2$ and phylogenetic trees (total partition trees). We prove that $W(n,k)$ also counts \emph{increasing Schr\"oder trees} by verifying they satisfy…
We prove a general result concerning cyclic orderings of the elements of a matroid. For each matroid $M$, weight function $\omega:E(M)\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$, and positive integer $D$, the following are equivalent. (1) For all $A\subseteq…
We show that for every homomorphism $\Gamma^+ \to S$ where $S$ is a finite semigroup there exists a factorization forest of height $\leq 3 \abs{S}$. The proof is based on Green's relations.
