Ubiquity of synonymity: almost all large binary trees are not uniquely identified by their spectra or their immanantal polynomials
Frederick A. Matsen, Steven N. Evans
There are several common ways to encode a tree as a matrix, such as the adjacency matrix, the Laplacian matrix (that is, the infinitesimal generator of the natural random walk), an…
