Whenever the Cayley graph of $G$ has a finite representation and the relationships among the generators of $G$ are determined by a matrix $A$, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of $A$ are revealed as the number of children of the graph. After introducing an algorithm for the computation of the degree, the degree spectrum, which is finite, relates to a collection of matrices in which the sum of each row of every matrix is bounded by the number of children of the graph. Furthermore, the algorithm extends to $G$ of finite followers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-08T13:43:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "topological degree", "shift spaces", "cayley graph", "nonabelian group", "finite type" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
