Rotation distance between rooted binary trees measures the number of simple operations it takes to transform one tree into another. There are no known polynomial-time algorithms for computing rotation distance. We give an efficient,…
We study the inverse problem of recovering a tree graph together with the weights on its edges (equivalently a metric tree) from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann matrix associated with the Laplacian. We prove an explicit formula…
In this paper, we establish a useful set of formulae for the $\sin\Theta$ distance between the original and the perturbed singular subspaces. These formulae explicitly show that how the perturbation of the original matrix propagates into…
The definition of $n$-width of a bounded subset $A$ in a normed linear space $X$ is based on the existence of $n$-dimensional subspaces. Although the concept of an $n$-dimensional subspace is not available for metric trees, in this paper,…
Given two distributions $P$ and $S$ of equal total mass, the Earth Mover's Distance measures the cost of transforming one distribution into the other, where the cost of moving a unit of mass is equal to the distance over which it is moved.…
We obtain truncated restriction estimates of an unexpected form for discrete surfaces \begin{align} S = \{\, ( n_1 , \dots , n_d , R( n_1 , \dots, n_d ) ) \,,\, n_i \in [-N,N] \cap \mathbb{Z} \,\}, \end{align} where $R$ is an indefinite…
Uniform spanning trees are a statistical model obtained by taking the set of all spanning trees on a given graph (such as a portion of a cubic lattice in d dimensions), with equal probability for each distinct tree. Some properties of such…
We apply the matrix-tree theorem to establish a link between various diagrammatic and determinant expressions, which naturally appear in scattering amplitudes of gravity theories. Using this link we are able to give a general…
A classical result, fundamental to evolutionary biology, states that an edge-weighted tree $T$ with leaf set $X$, positive edge weights, and no vertices of degree 2 can be uniquely reconstructed from the set of leaf-to-leaf distances…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ with geodesic distance $d(\cdot,\cdot)$ is said to be resolved by a non-empty subset $R$ of its vertices when, for all vertices $u$ and $v$, if $d(u,r)=d(v,r)$ for each $r\in R$, then $u=v$. The metric dimension of $G$ is…
Graham-Pollak showed that for $D = D_T$ the distance matrix of a tree $T$, det$(D)$ depends only on its number of edges. Several other variants of $D$, including directed/multiplicative/$q$- versions were studied, and always, det$(D)$…
Given a distance $D$ on a finite set $X$ with $n$ elements, it is interesting to understand how the ranking $R_x = z_1,z_2,\dots,z_n$ obtained by ordering the elements in $X$ according to increasing distance $D(x,z_i)$ from $x$, varies with…
Euclidean distance matrices (EDM) are matrices of squared distances between points. The definition is deceivingly simple: thanks to their many useful properties they have found applications in psychometrics, crystallography, machine…
A matrix $S=(s_{ij})\in{\mathbb R}^{n\times n}$ is said to determine a \emph{transitional measure} for a digraph $G$ on $n$ vertices if for all $i,j,k\in\{1,\...,n\},$ the \emph{transition inequality} $s_{ij} s_{jk}\le s_{ik} s_{jj}$ holds…
A classical result states that the determinant of an alternating link is equal to the number of spanning trees in a checkerboard graph of an alternating connected projection of the link. We generalize this result to show that the…
The study of linear codes over a finite field of odd cardinality, derived from determinantal varieties obtained from symmetric matrices of bounded rank, was initiated in a recent paper by the authors. There, one found the minimum distance…
An identity is proven that evaluates the determinant of a block tridiagonal matrix with (or without) corners as the determinant of the associated transfer matrix (or a submatrix of it).
The distance energy of a simple connected graph $G$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of its distance eigenvalues. In this paper, we mainly give a positive answer to a conjecture of distance energy of clique trees proposed by Lin,…
One of the aims of this paper is to provide a short survey on the Z2-graded, the symmetric and the left (right) generalizations of the classical determinant theory for square matrices with entries in an arbitrary (possibly non-commutative)…
We introduce a novel representation and optimization framework for discrete geodesics on triangle meshes that reduces artifacts of linear methods on uneven and coarse discretizations. Our method computes squared geodesic distances from…
