## Abstract Recently CsikvΓ‘ri [Combinatorica 30(2) 2010, 125β137] proved a conjecture of Nikiforov concerning the number of closed walks on trees. Our aim is to extend this theorem to all walks. In addition, we give a simpler proof of CsikvΓ‘ri's result and answer one of his questions in the negativ
We characterize the (weak) Cartesian products of trees among median graphs by a forbidden 5-vertex convex subgraph. The number of tree factors (if finite) is half the length of a largest isometric cycle. Then a characterization of Cartesian products of n trees obtains in terms of isometric cycles an
The supremum of the symmetric difference x y := (x \ y) βͺ (y \ x) of subsets x, y of R satisfies the so-called four-point condition; that is, for all x, x , y, y β R, one has It follows that the set E of all subsets of R which are bounded from above forms a valuated matroid relative to the map v:
Let us assign independent, exponentially distributed random edge lengths to the edges of an undirected graph. Lyons, Pemantle, and Peres (1999, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 86 (1999), 158 168) proved that the expected length of the shortest path between two given nodes is bounded from below by the resis
