چکیده

Over all plane trees with n edges, the total number of vertices with odd degree is twice the number of those with odd outdegree. Deutsch and Shapiro posed the problem of 3nding a direct two-to-one correspondence for this property. In this article, we give three di5erent proofs via generating functions, an inductive proof and a two-to-one correspondence. Besides, we introduce two new sequences which enumerate plane trees according to the parity of the number of leaves. The explicit formulae for these sequences are given. As an application, the relation provides a simple proof for a problem concerning colored nets in Stanley’s Catalan Addendum. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Parity reversing involutions on plane trees and 2-Motzkin paths

The problem of counting plane trees with n edges and an even or an odd number of leaves was studied by Eu, Liu and Yeh, in connection with an identity on coloring nets due to Stanley. This identity was also obtained by Bonin, Shapiro and Simion in their study of Schröder paths, and it was recently derived by Coker using the Lagrange inversion formula. An equivalent problem for partitions of set...

The number of trees half of whose vertices are leaves and asymptotic enumeration of plane real algebraic curves

The number of topologically different plane real algebraic curves of a given degree d has the form exp(Cd + o(d)). We determine the best available upper bound for the constant C. This bound follows from Arnold inequalities on the number of empty ovals. To evaluate its rate we show its equivalence with the rate of growth of the number of trees half of whose vertices are leaves and evaluate the l...

بررسی زنده‌مانی و رشد درختان کاج و چنار منتقل شده بر اساس کاربرد هورمون IBA، سن درخت، زمان و نحوه انتقال

The major problems in transplanting the landscape trees are high level of mortality and low establishment rate of transplanted trees, especially in the first year. In order to achieve the best condition for successful transplanting of pine and plane trees in Isfahan landscape, the present study was carried out based on a completely randomized block design with four replicates and three treatmen...

The Arithmetic of Even-Odd Trees

Even-Odd Trees are a canonical tree-based number representation derived from a bijection between trees defined by the data type equation T = 1 + T ∗ T ∗ + T ∗ T ∗ and positive natural numbers seen as iterated applications of o(x) = 2x and i(x) = 2x+ 1 Starting from 1. This paper introduces purely functional arithmetic algorithms for operations on Even-Odd Trees. While within constant factors fr...

Use of a Two-Channel Moiré Wavefront Sensor for Measuring Topological Charge Sign of the Vortex Beam and Investigation of Its Change Due to an Odd Number of Reflections

One of the solutions of the Helmholtz equation is the vortex beams. In the recent decades, production and applications of these types of beams have found serious attentions. Determination of the vortex beam topological charge and its sign are very important issues. Odd number of reflections of the vortex beam changes its vorticity. In this paper, we have used a q-plate to generate a vortex beam...
