In particular, the extremal trees must be caterpillar and but in general not unique. Moreover, all extremal trees with a given degree sequence $\\pi=(d_1, ..., d_5, 1,..., 1)$ have been characterized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-03T08:49:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50", "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "degree sequence", "minimal subtrees", "extremal tree", "minimal number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.0273Z" } } }
