For a graph $G$, let $\tau(G)$ denote the number of spanning trees. We show that for every fixed $0 < c < 1/4$, the number of distinct values of $\tau(G)$, as $G$ ranges over simple graphs on $n$ vertices, is at least $\exp(c n \log n)$ for…

(DRAFT VERSION) In this article we present a proof of the famous Kirchoff's Matrix-Tree theorem, which relates the number of spanning trees in a connected graph with the cofactors (and eigenvalues) of its combinatorial Laplacian matrix.…

Let $R$ and $B$ be two disjoint sets of points in the plane where the points of $R$ are colored red and the points of $B$ are colored blue, and let $n=|R\cup B|$. A bichromatic spanning tree is a spanning tree in the complete bipartite…

A compacted binary tree is a graph created from a binary tree such that repeatedly occurring subtrees in the original tree are represented by pointers to existing ones, and hence every subtree is unique. Such representations form a special…

We consider the probability that a spanning tree chosen uniformly at random from a graph can be partitioned into a fixed number $k$ of trees of equal size by removing $k-1$ edges. In that case, the spanning tree is called {\em splittable}.…

The celebrated formula of Otter \emph{[Ann. of Math. (2) 49 (1948), 583--599]} asserts that the complete graph contains exponentially many non-isomorphic spanning trees. In this paper, we show that every connected almost regular graph with…

The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…

We give a proof for sharp estimate for the number of spanning trees using linear algebra and generalize this bound to multigraphs. In addition, we show that this bound is tight for complete graphs. In addition, we give estimates for number…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ consists of a set of vertices $V$ and a set of edges whose elements are $r$-subsets of $V$. We define a hypertree to be a connected hypergraph which contains no cycles. A hypertree spans a hypergraph $H$ if it…

The fractal dimension of minimal spanning trees on percolation clusters is estimated for dimensions $d$ up to $d=5$. A robust analysis technique is developed for correlated data, as seen in such trees. This should be a robust method…

Let $\mathcal{G}_{n,r,s}$ denote a uniformly random $r$-regular $s$-uniform hypergraph on the vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$. We establish a threshold result for the existence of a spanning tree in $\mathcal{G}_{n,r,s}$, restricting to $n$…
