We define the Laplacian ratio of a tree z(T), to be the permanent of the Laplacian matrix of T divided by the product of the degrees of the vertices. Best possible lower and upper bounds are obtained for ~r(T) in terms of the size of the largest matching in T.

β¦ Synopsis
be the Laplacian matrix of G. When G is a tree or a bipartite graph we obtain bounds for the permanent of L(G) both in terms of n only and in terms of d 1 ..... d,. Improved bounds are obtained in terms of the diameter of T and the size of a matching in T.

## Abstract Let __T__ = (__V, E__) be a tree whose vertices are properly 2βcolored. A bipartite labeling of __T__ is a bijection __f__: __V__ β {0, 1, β, | __E__ |} for which there is a __k__ such that whenever __f__(__u__) β€ __k__ < __f__(__v__), then __u__ and __v__ have different colors.
