Counting paths in perfect trees

Abstract

We present some exact expressions for the number of paths of a given length in a perfect mm-ary tree. We first count the paths in perfect rooted mm-ary trees and then use the results to determine the number of paths in perfect unrooted mm-ary trees, extending a known result for binary trees.
