The early development of a zygote can be mathematically described by a developmental tree. To compare developmental trees of different species, we need to define distances on trees. If children cells after a division are not…

Phylogenetics is now fundamental in life sciences, providing insights into the earliest branches of life and the origins and spread of epidemics. However, finding suitable phylogenies from the vast space of possible trees remains…

Dynamical properties of a long polymer ring in a melt of unknotted and unconcatenated rings are calculated. We re-examine and generalize the well known model of a ring confined to a lattice of topological obstacles in the light of the…

For two graphs S and T, the constrained Ramsey number f(S, T) is the minimum n such that every edge coloring of the complete graph on n vertices, with any number of colors, has a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to S or a rainbow (all…

A (pseudo-)metric $D$ on a finite set $X$ is said to be a `tree metric' if there is a finite tree with leaf set $X$ and non-negative edge weights so that, for all $x,y \in X$, $D(x,y)$ is the path distance in the tree between $x$ and $y$.…

We define a notion of substitution on colored binary trees that we call substreetution. We show that a fixed point by a substreetution may be (or not) almost periodic, thus the closure of the orbit under $\mathbb{F}_2^+$-action may (or not)…

Thomas and Williams conjectured that rowmotion acting on the rational $(a,b)$-Tamari lattice has order $a+b-1$. We construct an equivariant bijection that proves this conjecture when $b\equiv 1\pmod a$; in fact, we determine the entire…

Let $G$ be an acylic directed graph. For each vertex $g \in G$, we define an involution on the independent sets of $G$. We call these involutions flips, and use them to define a new partial order on independent sets of $G$. Trim lattices…

A Random Walk in Changing Environment (RWCE) is a weighted random walk on a locally finite, connected graph $G$ with random, time-dependent edge-weights. This includes self-interacting random walks, where the edge-weights depend on the…

We generalize the notion of the toggle group, as defined in [P. Cameron-D. Fon-der-Flaass '95] and further explored in [J. Striker-N. Williams '12], from the set of order ideals of a poset to any family of subsets of a finite set. We prove…

We present a method for constructing all bounded rational motions that frame a space curve $\mathbf{r}(t)$. This means that the motion guides an orthogonal frame along the curve such that one frame axis is in direction of the curve tangent.…

A tree $T$ is said to be homogeneous if it is uniquely rooted and there exists an integer $b\meg 2$, called the branching number of $T$, such that every $t\in T$ has exactly $b$ immediate successors. A vector homogeneous tree $\mathbf{T}$…

We study commutative ring structures on the integral span of rooted trees and $n$-dimensional skew shapes. The multiplication in these rings arises from the smash product operation on monoid representations in pointed sets. We interpret…

Homological algebra of modules over posets is developed, as closely parallel as possible to that of finitely generated modules over noetherian commutative rings, in the direction of finite presentations and resolutions. Centrally at issue…

In this paper we study several problems concerning the number of homomorphisms of trees. We give an algorithm for the number of homomorphisms from a tree to any graph by the Transfer-matrix method. By using this algorithm and some…

Nested (or reconciled) phylogenetic trees model co-evolutionary systems in which one evolutionary history is embedded within another. We introduce a geometric framework for such systems by defining $\sigma$-space, a moduli space of fully…

For a poset whose Hasse diagram is a rooted plane forest $F$, we consider the corresponding tree descent polynomial $A_F(q)$, which is a generating function of the number of descents of the labelings of $F$. When the forest is a path,…

A flip in a plane spanning tree $T$ is the operation of removing one edge from $T$ and adding another edge such that the resulting structure is again a plane spanning tree. For trees on a set of points in convex position we study two…

Tree-based networks are a class of phylogenetic networks that attempt to formally capture what is meant by "tree-like" evolution. A given non-tree-based phylogenetic network, however, might appear to be very close to being tree-based, or…

Ultametrics are an important class of distances used in applications such as phylogenetics, clustering and classification theory. Ultrametrics are essentially distances that can be represented by an edge-weighted rooted tree so that all of…
