Let $L(n,d)$ denote the minimum possible number of leaves in a tree of order $n$ and diameter $d.$ In 1975 Lesniak gave the lower bound $B(n,d)=lceil 2(n-1)/drceil$ for $L(n,d).$ When $d$ is even, $B(n,d)=L(n,d).$ But when $d$ is odd, $B(n,d)$ is smaller than $L(n,d)$ in general. For example, $B(21,3)=14$ while $L(21,3)=19.$ We prove that for $dge 2,$ $ L(n,d)=leftlceil frac{2(n-1)}{d}rightrceil$ if $d$ is even and $L(n,d)=leftlceil frac{2(n-2)}{d-1}rightrceil$ if $d$ is odd. The converse problem is also considered. Let $D(n,f)$ be the minimum possible diameter of a tree of order $n$ with exactly $f$ leaves. We prove that $D(n,f)=2$ if $n=f+1,$ $D(n,f)=2k+1$ if $n=kf+2,$ and $D(n,f)=2k+2$ if $kf+3le nle (k+1)f+1.$

An oriented graph $G^sigma$ is a digraph without loops or multiple arcs whose underlying graph is $G$. Let $Sleft(G^sigmaright)$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of $G^sigma$ and $alpha(G)$ be the independence number of $G$. The rank of $S(G^sigma)$ is c alled the skew-rank of $G^sigma$, denoted by $sr(G^sigma)$. Wong et al. [European J. Combin. 54 (2016) 76-86] studied the relationship between the skew-rank of an oriented graph and the rank of its underlying graph. In this paper, the correlation involving the skew-rank, the independence number, and some other parameters are considered. First we show that $sr(G^sigma)+2alpha(G)geqslant 2|V_G|-2d(G)$, where $|V_G|$ is the order of $G$ and $d(G)$ is the dimension of cycle space of $G$. We also obtain sharp lower bounds for $sr(G^sigma)+alpha(G),, sr(G^sigma)-alpha(G)$, $sr(G^sigma)/alpha(G)$ and characterize all corresponding extremal graphs.
A signed graph $(G, sigma)$ is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $(G, sigma)$. Let $c(G)$, $alpha(G)$ and $r(G, sigma)$ be the cyclomatic number, the independence number and the rank of the adjace ncy matrix of $(G, sigma)$, respectively. In this paper, we study the relation among the independence number, the rank and the cyclomatic number of a signed graph $(G, sigma)$ with order $n$, and prove that $2n-2c(G) leq r(G, sigma)+2alpha(G) leq 2n$. Furthermore, the signed graphs that reaching the lower bound are investigated.
The puzzle presented by the famous stumps of Gilboa, New York, finds a solution in the discovery of two fossil specimens that allow the entire structure of these early trees to be reconstructed.
Given a simple graph $G=(V_G, E_G)$ with vertex set $V_G$ and edge set $E_G$, the mixed graph $widetilde{G}$ is obtained from $G$ by orienting some of its edges. Let $H(widetilde{G})$ denote the Hermitian adjacency matrix of $widetilde{G}$ and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The $H$-rank (resp. rank) of $widetilde{G}$ (resp. $G$), written as $rk(widetilde{G})$ (resp. $r(G)$), is the rank of $H(widetilde{G})$ (resp. $A(G)$). Denote by $d(G)$ the dimension of cycle spaces of $G$, that is $d(G) = |E_G|-|V_G|+omega(G)$, where $omega(G),$ denotes the number of connected components of $G$. In this paper, we concentrate on the relation between the $H$-rank of $widetilde{G}$ and the rank of $G$. We first show that $-2d(G)leqslant rk(widetilde{G})-r(G)leqslant 2d(G)$ for every mixed graph $widetilde{G}$. Then we characterize all the mixed graphs that attain the above lower (resp. upper) bound. By these obtained results in the current paper, all the main results obtained in cite{004,1} may be deduced consequently.
An $r$-matching in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges in $G$ such that the distance between any two edges is at least $r$. A $2$-matching is also called an induced matching. In this paper, we estimate the maximum number of $r$-matchings in a tree o f fixed order. We also prove that the $n$-vertex path has the maximum number of induced matchings among all $n$-vertex trees.
