Almost All Trees have an Even Number of Independent Sets
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is devoted to the proof of the surprising fact that almost all trees have an even number of independent vertex subsets (in the sense that the proportion of those trees with an odd number of independent sets tends to 0 as the number of vertices approaches ∞) and to its generalisation to other moduli: for fixed m, the probability that a randomly chosen tree on n vertices has a number of independent subsets that is divisible by m tends to 1 as n → ∞.

Outer independent Roman domination number of trees
A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a graph G=(V,E) is a function f : V → {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex u for which f(u)=0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v)=2. An RDF f is calledan outer independent Roman dominating function (OIRDF) if the set ofvertices assigned a 0 under f is an independent set. The weight of anOIRDF is the sum of its function values over ...
متن کاملIndistinguishable Trees and Graphs
We show that a number of graph invariants are, even combined, insufficient to distinguish between nonisomorphic trees or general graphs. Among these are: the spectrum of eigenvalues (equivalently, the characteristic polynomial), the number of independent sets of all sizes or the number of connected subgraphs of all sizes. We therefore extend the classical theorem of Schwenk that almost every tr...
متن کاملComparison of Ordinal Response Modeling Methods like Decision Trees, Ordinal Forest and L1 Penalized Continuation Ratio Regression in High Dimensional Data
Background: Response variables in most medical and health-related research have an ordinal nature. Conventional modeling methods assume predictor variables to be independent, and consider a large number of samples (n) compared to the number of covariates (p). Therefore, it is not possible to use conventional models for high dimensional genetic data in which p > n. The present study compared th...
متن کاملOptimal Self-healing of Smart Distribution Grids Based on Spanning Trees to Improve System Reliability
In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...
متن کاملEternal m-security subdivision numbers in graphs
An eternal $m$-secure set of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is aset $S_0subseteq V$ that can defend against any sequence ofsingle-vertex attacks by means of multiple-guard shifts along theedges of $G$. A suitable placement of the guards is called aneternal $m$-secure set. The eternal $m$-security number$sigma_m(G)$ is the minimum cardinality among all eternal$m$-secure sets in $G$. An edge $uvin E(G)$ is ...
