The object of this paper is to introduce a new technique for showing that the number of labelled spanning trees of the complete bipartite graph K,,,, is IT(m, n)l = m"-'n"-'. As an application, we use this technique to give a new proof of Cayley's formula IT(n)1 = nnm2, for the number of labelled s

## Abstract The crossing number __cr__(__G__) of a simple graph __G__ with __n__ vertices and __m__ edges is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of __G__ on the β^2^ plane. The conjecture made by ErdΕs in 1973 that __cr__(__G__)ββ₯β__Cm__^3^/__n__^2^ was proved in 1982 by Leighton
## Abstract Let __Q__~__n__~ denote the nβdimensional hypercube. In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds for the crossing number __v__(__Q__~__n__~), i.e., the minimum number of edgeβcrossings in any planar drawing of __Q__~__n__~. The upper bound is close to a result conjectured by Eggleton
