Abstract:

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.

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.

Asteroidal number for some product graphs

The notion of Asteroidal triples was introduced by Lekkerkerker and Boland [6]. D.G.Corneil and others [2], Ekkehard Kohler [3] further investigated asteroidal triples. Walter generalized the concept of asteroidal triples to asteroidal sets [8]. Further study was carried out by Haiko Muller [4]. In this paper we find asteroidal numbers for Direct product of cycles, Direct product of path and cy...

Sharp uppper and lower bounds on the number of spanning trees in Cartesian product graphs

Let G1 and G2 be simple graphs and let n1 = |V (G1)|, m1 = |E(G1)|, n2 = |V (G2)| and m2 = |E(G2)|. In this paper we derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of spanning trees τ in the Cartesian product G1 G2 of G1 and G2. We show that: τ(G1 G2) ≥ 2(n1−1)(n2−1) n1n2 (τ(G1)n1) n2+1 2 (τ(G2)n2) n1+1 2 and τ(G1 G2) ≤ τ(G1)τ(G2) [ 2m1 n1 − 1 + 2m2 n2 − 1 ](n1−1)(n2−1) . We also characteri...

Optimal Independent Spanning Trees on Cartesian Product of Hybrid Graphs

A set of k spanning trees rooted at the same vertex r in a graph G are called independent spanning trees (ISTs) if for any vertex x 6= r, the k paths from v to r, one path in each tree, are internally disjoint. The design of ISTs on graphs has applications to fault-tolerant broadcasting and secure message distribution in networks. It was conjectured that for any k-connected graph there exist k ...
