On the Difference Problem for Semilinear Power Series
We prove in this paper that if r and s are two semilinear power series in commuting variables and s has bounded coefficients, then r-s is a rational series. This result can be tho...

Maximum Likelihood Bounded Tree-Width Markov Networks
We study the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width. By casting it as the combinatori...

A distributional study of the path edge-covering numbers for random trees
Abstract. We study for various tree families the distribution of the number of edgedisjoint paths required to cover the edges of a random tree of size n. For all tree families cons...

Random cutting and records in deterministic and random trees
We study random cutting down of a rooted tree and show that the number of cuts is equal (in distribution) to the number of records in the tree when edges (or vertices) are assigned...

Large Deviations for the Weighted Height of an Extended Class of Trees
We use large deviations to prove a general theorem on the asymptotic edge-weighted height Hn of a large class of random trees for which Hn c log n for some positive constant c. A...
