Resistance distance is a novel distance function, also a new intrinsic graph metric, which makes some extensions of ordinary distance. Let On be a linear crossed octagonal graph. Recently, Pan and Li (2018) derived the closed formulas for…

For a graph G, let f_{ij} be the number of spanning rooted forests in which vertex j belongs to a tree rooted at i. In this paper, we show that for a path, the f_{ij}'s can be expressed as the products of Fibonacci numbers; for a cycle,…

We generalize the uniform spanning tree to construct a family of determinantal measures on essential spanning forests on periodic planar graphs in which every component tree is bi-infinite. Like the uniform spanning tree, these measures…

We propose a new graph metric and study its properties. In contrast to the standard distance in connected graphs, it takes into account all paths between vertices. Formally, it is defined as d(i,j)=q_{ii}+q_{jj}-q_{ij}-q_{ji}, where q_{ij}…

In this paper we consider the original and different generalizations of Postnikov-Shapiro algebra which enumerate forests and trees of graphs, see~\cite{PSh}. Our main result is that the algebra counting forests depends only on graphical…

Let $G_n$ be a linear crossed polyomino chain with $n$ four-order complete graphs. In this paper, explicit formulas for the Kirchhoff index, the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning trees of $G_n$ are determined,…

Kirchhoff showed that the number of spanning trees of a graph is the spectral determinant of the combinatorial Laplacian divided by the number of vertices; we reframe this result in the quantum graph setting. We prove that the spectral…

In this paper, we investigate normal trees of directed graphs, which extend the fundamental concept of normal trees of undirected graphs. We prove that a directed graph $D$ has a normal spanning tree if and only if the topological space…

The spectrum of Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrix for a graph product is obtained, where both underlying graphs are regular. As an application of this, we have been able to generate the Kirchhoff Index and Wiener Index and determine…

We present an elementary proof of a generalization of Kirchoff's matrix tree theorem to directed, weighted graphs. The proof is based on a specific factorization of the Laplacian matrices associated to the graphs, which only involves the…

Conservation laws and balance equations for physical network systems typically can be described with the aid of the incidence matrix of a directed graph, and an associated symmetric Laplacian matrix. Some basic examples are discussed, and…

The number of rooted spanning forests divided by the number of spanning rooted trees in a graph G with Kirchhoff matrix K is the spectral quantity tau(G)= det(1+K)/det(K) of G by the matrix tree and matrix forest theorems. We prove that…

In a series of three papers we develop an end space theory for digraphs. Here in the third paper we introduce a concept of depth-first search trees in infinite digraphs, which we call normal spanning arborescences. We show that normal…

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}.…

We prove a generalization of Kirchhoff's matrix-tree theorem in which a large class of combinatorial objects are represented by non-Gaussian Grassmann integrals. As a special case, we show that unrooted spanning forests, which arise as a q…

Using ideas from algebraic topology and statistical mechanics, we generalize Kirchhoff's network and matrix-tree theorems to finite CW complexes of arbitrary dimension. As an application, we give a formula expressing Reidemeister torsion as…

We consider two decomposition problems in directed graphs. We say that a digraph is $k$-bounded for some $k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$ if each of its connected components contains at most $k$ arcs. For the first problem, a directed linear…

Let $B_n$ be a linear polyomino chain with $n$ squares. Let $B_n^2$ be the graph obtained by the strong prism of a linear polyomino chain with $n$ squares, i.e. the strong product of $K_2$ and $B_n$. In this paper, explicit expressions for…

A graph is called pseudo-outerplanar if each block has an embedding on the plane in such a way that the vertices lie on a fixed circle and the edges lie inside the disk of this circle with each of them crossing at most one another. In this…
