Kirchhoff's theorem for multigraphs
Statement
Kirchhoff's theorem holds for multigraphs as well; the matrix L is modified as follows:
- The entry qi,j equals −m, where m is the number of edges between i and j;
- when counting the degree of a vertex, all loops are excluded.
Cayley's formula for a complete multigraph is mn−1(nn−1−(n−1)nn−2) by same methods produced above, since a simple graph is a multigraph with m = 1.
