This paper studies the problem of estimating the order of arrival of the vertices in a random recursive tree. Specifically, we study two fundamental models: the uniform attachment model and the linear preferential attachment model. We propose an order estimator based on the Jordan centrality measure and define a family of risk measures to quantify the quality of the ordering procedure. Moreover, we establish a minimax lower bound for this problem, and prove that the proposed estimator is nearly optimal. Finally, we numerically demonstrate that the proposed estimator outperforms degree-based and spectral ordering procedures.

  1. Finding the root in random nearest neighbor trees

    math.PR 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For random nearest neighbor trees, the root can be found among a confidence set of size roughly log(1/epsilon) divided by log log(1/epsilon) in one dimension.

  2. A Proof of The Changepoint Detection Threshold Conjecture in Preferential Attachment Models

    math.PR 2025-02 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Changepoint detection in preferential attachment networks is impossible when the change occurs in the last o(√n) steps, resolving the Bet-Castro-van der Hofstad conjecture.

  3. Subcritical percolation and network archaeology on random recursive tree substrate networks

    math.PR 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    For random recursive trees with independent Erdős–Rényi shortcut edges, subcritical bond percolation exposes a decorated tree structure on which Jordan centrality recovers the root within a deterministic-size confidence set.
