Asymptotic enumeration on self-similar graphs with two boundary vertices

چکیده
We study two graph parameters, namely the number of spanning forests and the number of connected subgraphs, for self-similar graphs with exactly two boundary vertices. In both cases, we determine the general behavior for these and related auxiliary quantities by means of polynomial recurrences and a careful asymptotic analysis. It turns out that the so-called resistance scaling factor of a graph plays an essential role in both instances, a phenomenon that was previously observed for the number of spanning trees. Several explicit examples show that our findings are likely to hold in an even more general setting.

A CHARACTERIZATION FOR METRIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHS AND THEIR ENUMERATION
The textit{metric dimension} of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a subset $B$ of $G$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $B$. In this case, $B$ is called a textit{metric basis} for $G$. The textit{basic distance} of a metric two dimensional graph $G$ is the distance between the elements of $B$. Givi...
متن کاملEnumeration and Asymptotic Properties of Unlabeled Outerplanar Graphs
We determine the exact and asymptotic number of unlabeled outerplanar graphs. The exact number gn of unlabeled outerplanar graphs on n vertices can be computed in polynomial time, and gn is asymptotically g n −5/2ρ−n, where g ≈ 0.00909941 and ρ−1 ≈ 7.50360 can be approximated. Using our enumerative results we investigate several statistical properties of random unlabeled outerplanar graphs on n...
متن کاملAiry Phenomena and Analytic Combinatorics of Connected Graphs
Until now, the enumeration of connected graphs has been dealt with by probabilistic methods, by special combinatorial decompositions or by somewhat indirect formal series manipulations. We show here that it is possible to make analytic sense of the divergent series that expresses the generating function of connected graphs. As a consequence, it becomes possible to derive analytically known enum...
متن کاملAnalytic combinatorics of connected graphs
We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a linear number of edges with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only first term of the asymptotics and a bound on the error were known. Using analytic combinatorics, i.e. generating function manipulations, we derive the complete asymptotic expansion. keywords. connected graphs, analytic combinatorics, generating functions, asymptotic expan...
متن کاملCounting connected graphs inside-out
The theme of this work is an “inside-out” approach to the enumeration of graphs. It is based on a well-known decomposition of a graph into its 2-core, i.e. the largest subgraph of minimum degree 2 or more, and a forest of trees attached. Using our earlier (asymptotic) formulae for the total number of 2-cores with a given number of vertices and edges, we solve the corresponding enumeration probl...
