چکیده
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 not possible, first their Laplacian matrices are transformed into single block diagonal forms and then using the concept of determinant, the calculations are performed.

متن کاملCounting 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.
متن کاملUpper Bounds on the Number of Spanning Trees in a Bipartite Graph
Ferrers graphs are a family of connected bipartite graphs that arise from the Ferrers diagram of a partition. Ehrenborg and van Willigenburg gave a beautiful product formula for the number of spanning trees in a Ferrers graph. In this paper, we use linear algebraic techniques to investigate a conjecture of Ehrenborg stating that a similar product formula gives an upper bound for the number of s...

The results in this paper extend the work by Desjarlais and Molina and give concrete methods f...
متن کاملOn relation between the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning trees of graph
Let $G=(V,E)$, $V={1,2,ldots,n}$, $E={e_1,e_2,ldots,e_m}$,be a simple connected graph, with sequence of vertex degrees$Delta =d_1geq d_2geqcdotsgeq d_n=delta >0$ and Laplacian eigenvalues$mu_1geq mu_2geqcdotsgeqmu_{n-1}>mu_n=0$. Denote by $Kf(G)=nsum_{i=1}^{n-1}frac{1}{mu_i}$ and $t=t(G)=frac 1n prod_{i=1}^{n-1} mu_i$ the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning tree...
