All large trees are prime

Abstract:

Around 1980 Entringer and Tout conjectured that every tree is prime, that is, its vertices can be bijectively labeled with integers 1,...,n, where n is the order of the tree, so that every two adjacent vertices get coprime labels. We prove this conjecture for all sufficiently large n along with some extensions.

This is joint work with Penny Haxell and Anusch Taraz.
