The Number of Subtrees of Trees with Given Degree Sequence

Xiu-Mei Zhang, Xiao-Dong Zhang, Daniel Gray, Hua Wang

Published 2012-09-03Version 1

This paper investigates some properties of the number of subtrees of a tree with given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize trees with the given degree sequence that have the largest number of subtrees, which generalizes the recent results of Kirk and Wang. These trees coincide with those which were proven by Wang and independently Zhang et al. to minimize the Wiener index. We also provide a partial ordering of the extremal trees with different degree sequences, some extremal results follow as corollaries.
