Counting rooted / unrooted trees / graphs on $n$ vertices

376 Views Asked by At

I came to know that number of labelled unrooted trees on $n$ vertices is given by formula $n^{n-2}$. Also, I came to know that there is no closed formula for number of unlabelled graphs on $n$ vertices. I have following doubts:

  1. What is number of unlabelled unrooted trees?
  2. What is number of unlabelled rooted trees?
  3. What does it mean by tree in "labelled unrooted tree"? Does it mean graph connected with $n-1$ edges? Since I cannot imagine a tree without a root.
  4. Also I believe there is no such thing as labelled / unlabelled "unrooted m-ary" tree, since for being m-ary, there has to be some root. Am I correct with this? If no, then how we can have unrooted m-ary tree and what is count of such trees on $n$ vertices? (Number of unlabelled rooted m-ary tree is given by Cayley's number $\frac{1}{(m-1)n+1}\binom{mn}{n}\times n!$)
