Abstract

For a two-dimensional lattice Λ\Lambda with nn vertices, the number of spanning trees NST(Λ)N_{ST}(\Lambda) grows asymptotically as exp(nzΛ)\exp(n z_\Lambda) in the thermodynamic limit. We present exact integral expression and numerical value for the asymptotic growth constant zΛz_\Lambda for spanning trees on various two-dimensional lattices with more than one type of vertex given in \cite{Okeeffe}. An exact closed-form expression for the asymptotic growth constant is derived for net 14, and the asymptotic growth constants of net 27 and the triangle lattice have the simple relation z27=(ztri+ln4)/4z_{27} = (z_{tri}+\ln 4)/4. Some integral identities are also obtained.
