We present an algorithm for counting the number of minimum weight spanning trees, based on the fact that the generating function for the number of spanning trees of a given graph, by weight, can be expressed as a simple determinant. For a graph with n vertices and m edges, our ลฝ ลฝ .. ลฝ . algorithm r

The problem of counting spunning trees in regular multigraphs is considered. The emphasis is on the case of directed trees. It is shown that the numbers qf spanning intrees and out-trees with respect to any point of' a regular multigraph are the same. A general .formulafor counting directed spunning
We refer to for terminology not specified here. Graphs mentioned in this note are undirected, simple. The following definition is due to Halin [l]: an end E of an infinite graph G is a set of l-way infinite paths in G such that P, Q E E iff for any finite subset R of V(G) there is a finite path in
A new calculation is given for the number of spanning trees in a family of labellec; graphs considered by Kleitman and Golden, and for a more general class of such graphs.
We prove that the d-dimensional hypercube, Qd, with n ----2 d vertices, contains a spanning tree with at least 1 log 2 n o n -t-2 leaves. This improves upon the bound implied by a more general result on spanning trees in graphs with minimum degree 5, which gives (1 -O(loglogn)/log 2 n)n as a lower b
