Enumeration of subtrees of trees

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let TT be a weighted tree. The weight of a subtree T1T_1 of TT is defined as the product of weights of vertices and edges of T1T_1. We obtain a linear-time algorithm to count the sum of weights of subtrees of TT. As applications, we characterize the tree with the diameter at least dd, which has the maximum number of subtrees, and we characterize the tree with the maximum degree at least Δ\Delta, which has the minimum number of subtrees.
