Counting Rooted Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
Combinatorial classes T that are recursively defined using combinations of the standard multiset, sequence, directed cycle and cycle constructions, and their restrictions, have generating series T(z) with a positive radius of convergence; for most of these a simple test can be used to quickly show that the form of the asymptotics is the same as that for the class of rooted trees: C · ρ−n · n−3/2 , where ρ is the radius of convergence of T.

Counting paths in perfect trees
We present some exact expressions for the number of paths of a given length in a perfect $m$-ary tree. We first count the paths in perfect rooted $m$-ary trees and then use the results to determine the number of paths in perfect unrooted $m$-ary trees, extending a known result for binary trees.
متن کاملCounting consistent phylogenetic trees is #P-complete
Reconstructing phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in evolutionary biology. Various algorithms exist for this purpose, many of which come under the heading of ‘supertree methods.’ These methods amalgamate a collection P of phylogenetic trees into a single parent tree. In this paper, we show that, in both the rooted and unrooted settings, counting the number of parent trees that preserve al...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Counting and Randomised Approximation
In this thesis we examine the complexity of counting, both exactly and approximately. We first consider counting functions in phylogenetics, and prove some intractability results. The main result in this section is that computing the number of rooted binary phylogenetic trees consistent with a given set of rooted triples is #P-complete. We also show that computing the number of consistent roote...

متن کاملCounting glycans revisited.
We present an algorithm for counting glycan topologies of order n that improves on previously described algorithms by a factor n in both time and space. More generally, we provide such an algorithm for counting rooted or unrooted d-ary trees with labels or masses assigned to the vertices, and we give a "recipe" to estimate the asymptotic growth of the resulting sequences. We provide constants f...
