Theorem

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.
