Quandaries and Queries
 


Hello,

I am a student who want to know:
Is there any formula for counting the number of trees (graphs)?



Hi Ali,

If you mean the number of spanning trees of a graph on n labelled points it is due to Cayley and is nn-2.

Denis

Thank you for your answering to my question about trees, but I mean the number of unlabelled trees?

Best regards,
Ali
