Spanning trees of the hypercube Q n have been recently studied by several authors. In this paper, we construct spanning trees of Q n which are caterpillars and establish quantitative bounds for a caterpillar to span Q n . As a corollary, we disprove a conjecture of Harary and Lewinter on the length

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
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
