Ranking and unranking trees with given degree sequences

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we provide algorithms to rank, unrank, and randomly generate certain degree-restricted classes of Cayley trees. Specifically, we consider classes of trees that have a given degree sequence or a given multiset of degrees. If the underlying set of trees have n vertices, then the largest ranks involved in each case are of order n! so that it takes O(nlog(n)) bits just to write down the ranks. Our ranking and unranking algorithms for these degree-restricted classes are as efficient as can be expected since we show that they require O(n^2log(n)) bit operations if the underlying trees have n vertices.
