On the number of representations of an element in a polygonal Cayley graph

Gabriella Kuhn, Paolo M. Soardi (1987)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We compute explicitly the number of paths of given length joining two vertices of the Cayley graph of the free product of cyclic groups of order k.

On the number of Russell’s socks or 2 + 2 + 2 + = ?

Horst Herrlich, Eleftherios Tachtsis (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The following question is analyzed under the assumption that the Axiom of Choice fails badly: Given a countable number of pairs of socks, then how many socks are there? Surprisingly this number is not uniquely determined by the above information, thus giving rise to the concept of Russell-cardinals. It will be shown that: • some Russell-cardinals are even, but others fail to be so; • no Russell-cardinal is odd; • no Russell-cardinal is comparable with any cardinal of the form α or 2 α ; • finite sums...

On the number of spanning trees, the Laplacian eigenvalues, and the Laplacian Estrada index of subdivided-line graphs

Yilun Shang (2016)

Open Mathematics

As a generalization of the Sierpiński-like graphs, the subdivided-line graph Г(G) of a simple connected graph G is defined to be the line graph of the barycentric subdivision of G. In this paper we obtain a closed-form formula for the enumeration of spanning trees in Г(G), employing the theory of electrical networks. We present bounds for the largest and second smallest Laplacian eigenvalues of Г(G) in terms of the maximum degree, the number of edges, and the first Zagreb index of G. In addition,...

On the Numbers of Cut-Vertices and End-Blocks in 4-Regular Graphs

Dingguo Wang, Erfang Shan (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A cut-vertex in a graph G is a vertex whose removal increases the number of connected components of G. An end-block of G is a block with a single cut-vertex. In this paper we establish upper bounds on the numbers of end-blocks and cut-vertices in a 4-regular graph G and claw-free 4-regular graphs. We characterize the extremal graphs achieving these bounds.
