The Rooted Maximum Leaf Outbranching problem consists in finding a spanning directed tree rooted at some prescribed vertex of a digraph with the maximum number of leaves. Its parameterized version asks if there exists such a tree with at least $k$ leaves. We use the notion of $s-t$ numbering to exhibit combinatorial bounds on the existence of spanning directed trees with many leaves. These combinatorial bounds allow us to produce a constant factor approximation algorithm for finding directed trees with many leaves, whereas the best known approximation algorithm has a $sqrt{OPT}$-factor. We also show that Rooted Maximum Leaf Outbranching admits a quadratic kernel, improving over the cubic kernel given by Fernau et al.

The {sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we obtain two combinatorial results on the number of leaves i n out-branchings. We show that - every strongly connected $n$-vertex digraph $D$ with minimum in-degree at least 3 has an out-branching with at least $(n/4)^{1/3}-1$ leaves; - if a strongly connected digraph $D$ does not contain an out-branching with $k$ leaves, then the pathwidth of its underlying graph UG($D$) is $O(klog k)$. Moreover, if the digraph is acyclic, the pathwidth is at most $4k$. The last result implies that it can be decided in time $2^{O(klog^2 k)}cdot n^{O(1)}$ whether a strongly connected digraph on $n$ vertices has an out-branching with at least $k$ leaves. On acyclic digraphs the running time of our algorithm is $2^{O(klog k)}cdot n^{O(1)}$.
We prove that there exists $C>0$ such that any $(n+Ck)$-vertex tournament contains a copy of every $n$-vertex oriented tree with $k$ leaves, improving the previously best known bound of $n+O(k^2)$ vertices to give a result tight up to the value of $C $. Furthermore, we show that, for each $k$, there exists $n_0$, such that, whenever $ngeqslant n_0$, any $(n+k-2)$-vertex tournament contains a copy of every $n$-vertex oriented tree with at most $k$ leaves, confirming a conjecture of Dross and Havet.

Given an undirected graph, each of the two end-vertices of an edge can own the edge. Call a vertex poor, if it owns at most one edge. We give a polynomial time algorithm for the problem of finding an assignment of owners to the edges which minimizes the number of poor vertices. In the terminology of graph orientation, this means finding an orientation for the edges of a graph minimizing the number of edges with out-degree at most 1, and answers a question of Asahiro Jansson, Miyano, Ono (2014).
Suppose that we are given two independent sets $I_b$ and $I_r$ of a graph such that $|I_b|=|I_r|$, and imagine that a token is placed on each vertex in $I_b$. Then, the sliding token problem is to determine whether there exists a sequence of independ ent sets which transforms $I_b$ into $I_r$ so that each independent set in the sequence results from the previous one by sliding exactly one token along an edge in the graph. This problem is known to be PSPACE-complete even for planar graphs, and also for bounded treewidth graphs. In this paper, we thus study the problem restricted to trees, and give the following three results: (1) the decision problem is solvable in linear time; (2) for a yes-instance, we can find in quadratic time an actual sequence of independent sets between $I_b$ and $I_r$ whose length (i.e., the number of token-slides) is quadratic; and (3) there exists an infinite family of instances on paths for which any sequence requires quadratic length.

We prove that, for an undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, each labeled with a linear function of a parameter $lambda$, the number of different minimum spanning trees obtained as the parameter varies can be $Omega(mlog n)$.
