We give a complete proof that in any finite-dimensional normed linear space a finite set of points has a minimal spanning tree in which the maximum degree is bounded above by the strict Hadwiger number of the unit ball, i.e., the largest…

We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of bodies with bounded volume…

This article investigates the topological pressure of isotropic axial products of Markov subshifts on the $d$-tree. We show that the quantity increases with dimension $d$. To achieve this, we introduce the pattern distribution vectors and…

We study the problem of privately releasing an approximate minimum spanning tree (MST). Given a graph $G = (V, E, \vec{W})$ where $V$ is a set of $n$ vertices, $E$ is a set of $m$ undirected edges, and $ \vec{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{|E|} $ is an…

Let $\Lambda$ be the limit set of an infinite conformal iterated function system and let $F$ denote the set of fixed points of the maps. We prove that the box dimension of $\Lambda$ exists if and only if \[ \overline{\dim}_{\mathrm B} F\leq…

In this note we prove two related results. First, we show that for certain Markov interval maps with infinitely many branches the upper box dimension of the boundary can be read from the pressure of the geometric potential. Secondly, we…

We continue the study of model-independent constraints on the unitary Conformal Field Theories in 4-Dimensions, initiated in arXiv:0807.0004. Our main result is an improved upper bound on the dimension \Delta of the leading scalar operator…

We prove polynomial upper and lower bounds on the expected size of the maximum agreement subtree of two random binary phylogenetic trees under both the uniform distribution and Yule-Harding distribution. This positively answers a question…

Consider an n-point metric M = (V,delta), and a transmission range assignment r: V \rightarrow \mathbb R^+ that maps each point v in V to the disk of radius r(v) around it. The {symmetric disk graph} (henceforth, SDG) that corresponds to M…

We use the S-matrix bootstrap to carve out the space of unitary, analytic, crossing symmetric and supersymmetric graviton scattering amplitudes in nine, ten and eleven dimensions. We extend and improve the numerical methods of our previous…

The detailed description of the method of the construction of the nilpotent BRST charges for nonlinear algebras of constraints appearing in the description of the massless higher spin fields on the $AdS_D$ background is presented. It is…

It is proved that the restriction of a $k$ and $(k-1)$-component directed spanning forest of minimal weight to an atom of the subset algebra generated by the sets of vertices of trees of $k$-component minimal spanning forests is a tree. For…

This paper makes two main contributions: The first is the construction of a near-minimum spanning tree with constant average distortion. The second is a general equivalence theorem relating two refined notions of distortion: scaling…

Over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees or leaf containing subtrees are studied. Here are some of the main results:\ (1)\, Sharp upper bound on the total number…

This paper proves a conjecture by Solomon about Steiner shallow-light trees (SLT) in Euclidean $d$-space: It is shown that for any finite point set $\mathbb{R}^d$, any root, and any $\epsilon>0$, there is a Euclidean Steiner…

In the study of extensions of polytopes of combinatorial optimization problems, a notorious open question is that for the size of the smallest extended formulation of the Minimum Spanning Tree problem on a complete graph with $n$ nodes. The…

The fractal dimension of minimal spanning trees on percolation clusters is estimated for dimensions $d$ up to $d=5$. A robust analysis technique is developed for correlated data, as seen in such trees. This should be a robust method…

We study search trees with 2-way comparisons (2WCST's), which involve separate less-than and equal-to tests in their nodes, each test having two possible outcomes, yes and no. These trees have a much subtler structure than standard search…

We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…
