For a labeled tree on the vertex set $set{1,2,ldots,n}$, the local direction of each edge $(i,j)$ is from $i$ to $j$ if $i<j$. For a rooted tree, there is also a natural global direction of edges towards the root. The number of edges pointing to a vertex is called its indegree. Thus the local (resp. global) indegree sequence $lambda = 1^{e_1}2^{e_2} ldots$ of a tree on the vertex set $set{1,2,ldots,n}$ is a partition of $n-1$. We construct a bijection from (unrooted) trees to rooted trees such that the local indegree sequence of a (unrooted) tree equals the global indegree sequence of the corresponding rooted tree. Combining with a Prufer-like code for rooted labeled trees, we obtain a bijective proof of a recent conjecture by Cotterill and also solve two open problems proposed by Du and Yin. We also prove a $q$-multisum binomial coefficient identity which confirms another conjecture of Cotterill in a very special case.

Let $mathcal{T}^{(p)}_n$ be the set of $p$-ary labeled trees on ${1,2,dots,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of an $p$-ary labeled tree is defined by the maximal $p$-ary subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study a new refinement $mathcal{T}^{(p)}_{n,k}$ of $mathcal{T}^{(p)}_n$, which is the set of $p$-ary labeled trees whose maximal decreasing subtree has $k$ vertices.
The Steiner distance of vertices in a set $S$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph that contain these vertices. The sum of the Steiner distances over all sets $S$ of cardinality $k$ is called the Steiner $k$-Wiener index and studied as the natural generalization of the famous Wiener index in chemical graph theory. In this paper we study the extremal structures, among trees with a given segment sequence, that maximize or minimize the Steiner $k$-Wiener index. The same extremal problems are also considered for trees with a given number of segments.
In this paper we answer a question posed by R. Stanley in his collection of Bijection Proof Problems (Problem 240). We present a bijective proof for the enumeration of walks of length $k$ a chess rook can move along on an $mtimes n$ board starting and ending on the same square.
A graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix consist entirely of integers. We prove that for a given nullity more than 1, there are only finitely many integral trees. It is also shown that integral trees with nullity 2 and 3 are unique.
Let $mathcal{O}_n$ be the set of ordered labeled trees on ${0,...,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of an ordered labeled tree is defined by the maximal ordered subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study a new refinement $mathcal{O}_{n,k}$ of $mathcal{O}_n$, which is the set of ordered labeled trees whose maximal decreasing subtree has $k+1$ vertices.
