Minimal graphs with a prescribed number of spanning trees

As it's long ago since Erdős died and MathOverflow is the second best alternative to him (for discussing personal problems), I'd like to start a fruitful discussion about the following problem that I ...

On some special spanning trees of grid graphs

I would like to know if there are existing results on the following objects: spanning trees of a grid graph, with no corridor where a corridor is a vertex having exactly two neighbors, on opposite ...

Graphs in which every spanning tree is an independency tree

It follows from this question and the corresponding answers, that the complete graphs and the cycles are precisely the graphs $G$ having the property that, for every spanning tree $T$ of $G$, the ...

Euclidean Minimum Spanning Trees Restricted to One Vertex Per Grid Cell

Given an $n \times n$ grid with unit grid cells, and one point from the interior of each cell, what is are best possible lower and upper bounds for lengths of minimum spanning trees? The lower bound ...

Does the zeta regularized Laplacian determinant measure the volume of some parameter space? How many "spanning trees" on a manifold?

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold, with Laplacian $\Delta$. If $\lambda_i$ are the nonzero eigenvalues of $\Delta$, we can define the zeta function $\zeta(s) = \Sigma \lambda_i^{-s}$. By analytic ...
