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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-03T08:58:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C05", "05C30" ], "keywords": [ "degree sequence", "extremal results", "wiener index", "largest number", "trees coincide" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.0275Z" } } }
