Asymptotic Enumeration of Spanning Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
We give new formulas for the asymptotics of the number of spanning trees of a large graph. A special case answers a question of McKay [Europ. J. Combin. 4 149–160] for regular graphs. The general answer involves a quantity for infinite graphs that we call ‘tree entropy’, which we show is a logarithm of a normalized determinant of the graph Laplacian for infinite graphs. Tree entropy is also expressed using random walks. We relate tree entropy to the metric entropy of the uniform spanning forest process on quasi-transitive amenable graphs, extending a result of Burton and Pemantle [Ann. Probab. 21 1329–1371].

Asymptotic Enumeration of Eulerian Circuits in the Complete Graph
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the number of eulerian circuits in a complete graph of odd order. One corollary of our result is the following. If a maximum random walk, constrained to use each edge at most once, is taken on Kn, then the probability that all the edges are eventually used is asymptotic to en. Some similar results are obtained about eulerian circuits and spanning trees i...
متن کاملMissing 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...
متن کاملAsymptotic Enumeration Theorems for the Numbers of Spanning Trees and Eulerian Trials in Circulant Digraphs & Graphs
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic properties of the numbers of spanning trees and Eulerian trials in circulant digraphs and graphs. Let C(p, s1, s2, . . . , sk) be a directed or undirected circulant graph. Let T (C(p, s1, s2, . . . , sk)) and E(C(p, s1, s2, . . . , sk)) be the numbers ∗This work was partially supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, email: fjzhang@jingxian....
متن کاملAsymptotic enumeration on self-similar graphs with two boundary vertices
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 grap...
متن کاملEnumeration of spanning trees of certain graphs
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; ...
