E. Prisner in his book Graph Dynamics defines the -path-step operator on the class of finite graphs. The -path-step operator (for a positive integer ) is the operator which to every finite graph assigns the graph which has the same vertex set as and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if there exists a path of length in connecting them. In the paper the trees and the unicyclic graphs fixed in the operator are studied.

AB - E. Prisner in his book Graph Dynamics defines the $k$-path-step operator on the class of finite graphs. The $k$-path-step operator (for a positive integer $k$) is the operator $S^{\prime }_k$ which to every finite graph $G$ assigns the graph $S^{\prime }_k(G)$ which has the same vertex set as $G$ and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if there exists a path of length $k$ in $G$ connecting them. In the paper the trees and the unicyclic graphs fixed in the operator $S^{\prime }_3$ are studied.
