We prove the relationship between the Hosoya polynomial and the edge-Hosoya polynomial of trees. The connection between the edge-hyper-Wiener index and the edge-Hosoya polynomial is established. With these results we also prove formulas for…

The number of "nonequivalent" Huffman codes of length r over an alphabet of size t has been studied frequently. Equivalently, the number of "nonequivalent" complete t-ary trees has been examined. We first survey the literature, unifying…

A polynomial $A(q)=\sum_{i=0}^n a_iq^i$ is said to be unimodal if $a_0\le a_1\le \cdots \le a_k\ge a_{k+1} \ge \cdots \ge a_n$. We investigate the unimodality of rational $q$-Catalan polynomials, which is defined to be $C_{m,n}(q)=…

The MULTICUT IN TREES problem consists in deciding, given a tree, a set of requests (i.e. paths in the tree) and an integer k, whether there exists a set of k edges cutting all the requests. This problem was shown to be FPT by Guo and…

The Nekrasov-Okounkov formula gives an expression for the Fourier coefficients of the Euler functions as a sum of hook length products. This formula can be deduced from a specialization in a renormalization of the affine type $A$ Weyl…

An $(m,n)$-mixed graph generalizes the notions of oriented graphs and edge-coloured graphs to a graph object with $m$ arc types and $n$ edge types. A simple colouring of such a graph is a non-trivial homomorphism to a reflexive target. We…

The Catalan number has a lot of interpretations and one of them is the number of Dyck paths. A Dyck path is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ which is below the diagonal line $y=x$. One way to generalize the definition of Dyck path is…

Let $p(m)$ (respectively, $q(m)$) be the maximum number $k$ such that any tree with $m$ edges can be transformed by contracting edges (respectively, by removing vertices) into a caterpillar with $k$ edges. We derive closed-form expressions…

We introduce a kind of $(p, q, t)$-Catalan numbers of Type A by generalizing the Jacobian type continued fraction formula, we proved that the corresponding expansions could be expressed by the polynomials counting permutations on…

This paper is motivated by two problems recently proposed by Coker on combinatorial identities related to the Narayana polynomials and the Catalan numbers. We find that a bijection of Chen, Deutsch and Elizalde can be used to provide…

A leaf of a plane tree is called an old leaf if it is the leftmost child of its parent, and it is called a young leaf otherwise. In this paper we enumerate plane trees with a given number of old leaves and young leaves. The formula is…

The rooted tree is an important data structure, and the subtree size, height, and depth are naturally defined attributes of every node. We consider the problem of the existence of a k-ary tree given a list of attribute sequences. We give…

These notes are a written version of my talk given at the CARMA workshop in June 2017, with some additional material. I presented a few concepts that have recently been used in the computation of tree-level scattering amplitudes (mostly…

We give a short generating function proof of the Almkvist-Meurman theorem: For integers $h$ and $k\ne0$, define the numbers $M_n(h,k)$ by $kx(e^{hx}-1)/(e^{kx}-1)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty M_n(h,k) x^n/n!$. Equivalently, $M_n(h,k) = k^n(B_n(h/k) -…

A weighted bicolored plane tree is a bicolored plane tree whose edges are endowed with positive integral weights. The degree of a vertex is defined as the sum of the weights of the edges incident to this vertex. Using the theory of dessins…

The paper concerns the tree invariants of string links, introduced by Kravchenko and Polyak and closely related to the classical Milnor linking numbers also known as $\bar{\mu}$--invariants. We prove that, analogously as for…

We prove that the Catalan Lie idempotent $D_n(a,b)$, introduced in [Menous {\it et al.}, Adv. Appl. Math. 51 (2013), 177] can be refined by introducing $n$ independent parameters $a_0,\ldots,a_{n-1}$ and that the coefficient of each…

The q-Catalan numbers studied by Carlitz and Riordan are polynomials in q with nonnegative coefficients. They evaluate, at q=1, to the Catalan numbers: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14,..., a log-convex sequence. We use a combinatorial interpretation of…

Very recently planar collections of Feynman diagrams were proposed by Borges and one of the authors as the natural generalization of Feynman diagrams for the computation of $k=3$ biadjoint amplitudes. Planar collections are one-dimensional…

This note presents an encoding and a decoding algorithms for a forest of (labelled) rooted uniform hypertrees and hypercycles in linear time, by using as few as $n - 2$ integers in the range $[1,n]$. It is a simple extension of the…
