A uniform attachment tree is a random tree that is generated dynamically. Starting from a fixed "seed" tree, vertices are added sequentially by attaching each vertex to an existing vertex chosen uniformly at random. Upon observing a large (unlabeled) tree, one wishes to find the initial seed. We investigate to what extent seed trees can be recovered, at least partially. We consider three types of seeds: a path, a star, and a random uniform attachment tree. We propose and analyze seed-finding algorithms for all three types of seed trees.

  1. Subcritical percolation and network archaeology on random recursive tree substrate networks

    math.PR 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    For random recursive trees with independent Erdős–Rényi shortcut edges, subcritical bond percolation exposes a decorated tree structure on which Jordan centrality recovers the root within a deterministic-size confidence set.
