Abstract
If G is a finite connected graph, then an arithmetical structure on is a pair of vectors with positive integer entries such that , where is the adjacency matrix of and the entries of have no common factor other than . In this paper, we generalize the result of Archer, Bishop, Diaz-Lopez, Garc\'ia Puente, Glass, and Louwsma on enumerating arithmetical structures on bidents (also called coconut tree graphs ) to all coconut tree graphs which consists of a path on vertices to which we append leaves to the right most vertex on the path. We also give a characterization of smooth arithmetical structures on coconut trees when given number assignments to the leaf nodes.
