Counting Contours on Trees

Combinatorics 2016-12-21 v1

Abstract

We calculate the exact number of contours of size nn containing a fixed vertex in dd-ary trees and provide sharp estimates for this number for more general trees. We also obtain a characterization of the locally finite trees with infinitely many contours of the same size containing a fixed vertex.
