Nov 11, 2012 at 2:23 comment added Richard Stanley A related remark: since $H_n$ is regular, an explicit formula for the number of trees follows from knowing the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. It was an open problem to find a combinatorial proof of this formula. Such a proof was recently given by Olivier Bernardi, front.math.ucdavis.edu/1207.0896.

Nov 10, 2012 at 22:34 comment added Feldmann Denis Well, actually, I am looking for things like calculations of the characteristic polynomial by manipulations of the graph (addig edges or vertices, product of graphes, ans so on), and trying to get some intuition by using well-known families of graphs. But I may be completely on the wrong track
