An increasing 1,2-tree is a labeled graph formed by starting with a vertex and then repeatedly attaching a leaf to a vertex or a triangle to an edge, the labeling of the vertices corresponding to the order in which the vertices are added. Equivalently, increasing 1,2-trees are connected chordal graphs of treewidth at most 2 labeled with a reversed perfect elimination ordering. We prove that this family is equinumerous with Cayley trees, which are unconstrained labeled trees. In particular, the number of triangles in an increasing 1,2-tree corresponds to the number of twists. A twist (also called improper edge) is an edge whose endpoint closer to vertex 1 has a greater label than some vertex in the subtree rooted at the other endpoint of the edge. We provide three proofs of this result, the rst being based on similar recursive decompositions, the second on the resolution of generating functions, and the third describing a bijection. Finally, we propose ecient random generators for these two combinatorial families.
