Kemenys constant $kappa(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is a measure of the expected transit time for the random walk associated with $G$. In the current work, we consider the case when $G$ is a tree, and, in this setting, we provide lower and upper bounds for $kappa(G)$ in terms of the order $n$ and diameter $delta$ of $G$ by using two different techniques. The lower bound is given as Kemenys constant of a particular caterpillar tree and, as a consequence, it is sharp. The upper bound is found via induction, by repeatedly removing pendent vertices from $G$. By considering a specific family of trees - the broom-stars - we show that the upper bound is asymptotically sharp.

Let $T_{n}$ be the set of rooted labeled trees on $set{0,...,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of a rooted labeled tree is defined by the maximal subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study a new refinement $T_{n,k}
$ of $T_n$, which is the set of rooted labeled trees whose maximal decreasing subtree has $k+1$ vertices.
The greedy tree $mathcal{G}(D)$ and the $mathcal{M}$-tree $mathcal{M}(D)$ are known to be extremal among trees with degree sequence $D$ with respect to various graph invariants. This paper provides a general theorem that covers a large family of inva
riants for which $mathcal{G}(D)$ or $mathcal{M}(D)$ is extremal. Many known results, for example on the Wiener index, the number of subtrees, the number of independent subsets and the number of matchings follow as corollaries, as do some new results on invariants such as the number of rooted spanning forests, the incidence energy and the solvability. We also extend our results on trees with fixed degree sequence $D$ to the set of trees whose degree sequence is majorised by a given sequence $D$, which also has a number of applications.
Loebl, Komlos, and Sos conjectured that if at least half the vertices of a graph G have degree at least some k, then every tree with at most k edges is a subgraph of G. We prove the conjecture for all trees of diameter at most 5 and for a class of ca
terpillars. Our result implies a bound on the Ramsey number r(T,F) of trees T, F from the above classes.
A consequence of Ores classic theorem characterizing the maximal graphs with given order and diameter is a determination of the largest such graphs. We give a very short and simple proof of this smaller result, based on a well-known elementary observation.
Minimum $k$-Section denotes the NP-hard problem to partition the vertex set of a graph into $k$ sets of sizes as equal as possible while minimizing the cut width, which is the number of edges between these sets. When $k$ is an input parameter and $n$
denotes the number of vertices, it is NP-hard to approximate the width of a minimum $k$-section within a factor of $n^c$ for any $c<1$, even when restricted to trees with constant diameter. Here, we show that every tree $T$ allows a $k$-section of width at most $(k-1) (2 + 16n / diam(T) ) Delta(T)$. This implies a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation for the Minimum $k$-Section Problem when restricted to trees with linear diameter and constant maximum degree. Moreover, we extend our results from trees to arbitrary graphs with a given tree decomposition.
