چکیده

In this note we give an algorithm which enables us to encode and enumerate all the spanning trees of a multipartite graph (see below). This algorithm may turn out to be useful for the enumeration of spanning trees satisfying certain conditions. The number of spanning trees of a given graph Γ without loops and without multiple edges will be denoted by_i(T). We shall consider the graphs Γ = T(G; Glt ..., Gk), where G is a graph with vertices T, 2, ..., k, and Γ is obtained from it by replacing the vertex i by G;, where, for vertices a e Gh b e Gj (i φ j), the edge (a, b) e Γ if and only if (i, j) e G.

Counting the number of spanning trees of graphs

A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.

NUMBER OF SPANNING TREES FOR DIFFERENT PRODUCT GRAPHS

In this paper simple formulae are derived for calculating the number of spanning trees of different product graphs. The products considered in here consists of Cartesian, strong Cartesian, direct, Lexicographic and double graph. For this purpose, the Laplacian matrices of these product graphs are used. Form some of these products simple formulae are derived and whenever direct formulation was n...

Enumeration of Spanning Trees of Graphs

In this paper, we define and study polynomials that enumerate spanning trees according to degrees of all vertices. These polynomials have a certain reciprocity. A formula that reduces the polynomials for multipartite graphs to the polynomials for component graphs is also found. There is a generalization of Prüfer’s coding that corresponds to the latter formula. All results are extended to the c...

Missing The Forest to Count the Trees: Spanning Tree Enumeration in Complete and Non-Complete Graphs

Spanning trees have been studied extensively and have many practical applications. From astronomers using spanning trees to find quasar superstructures, to biomedical engineers detecting actin fibers in cell images tree enumeration remains an interesting problem. In this paper we examine a simple, practical, algebraic approach for the enumeration of spanning trees in complete and non-complete g...

The Number of Spanning Trees in Self-similar Graphs

The number of spanning trees of a graph, also known as the complexity, is investigated for graphs which are constructed by a replacement procedure yielding a self-similar structure. It is shown that exact formulæ for the number of spanning trees can be given for sequences of self-similar graphs under certain symmetry conditions. These formulæ exhibit interesting connections to the theory of ele...
