Kirchhoff's theorem for directed multigraphs
Statement
Kirchhoff's theorem can be modified to give the number of oriented spanning trees in directed multigraphs. The matrix Q is constructed as follows:
- The entry qi,j for distinct i and j equals −m, where m is the number of edges from i to j;
- The entry qi,i equals the indegree of i minus the number of loops at i.
The number of oriented spanning trees rooted at a vertex i is the determinant of the matrix gotten by removing the ith row and column of Q
