Graphs with at most two trees in a forest building process


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Given a graph, we can form a spanning forest by first sorting the edges in some order, and then only keep edges incident to a vertex which is not incident to any previous edge. The resulting forest is dependent on the ordering of the edges, and so we can ask, for example, how likely is it for the process to produce a graph with $k$ trees. We look at all graphs which can produce at most two trees in this process and determine the probabilities of having either one or two trees. From this we construct infinite families of graphs which are non-isomorphic but produce the same probabilities.
