Many recent results in combinatorics concern the relationship between the size of a set and
the number of distances determined by pairs of points in the set. One extension of this
question considers configurations within the set with a specified pattern of distances.
In this paper, we use graph-theoretic methods to prove that a sufficiently large set
must contain at least
distinct copies of any
given weighted tree
, where
is a constant depending
only on the graph
.
