摘要
A set of vertices in a graph is connected if the set induces a connected subgraph. Using Shearer's entropy lemma, we show that the number of connected sets in an n-vertex graph with maximum vertex degree d is O(1.9351(n)) for d = 3, O(1.9812(n)) for d = 4, and O(1.9940(n)) for d = 5. Dually, we construct infinite families of generalized ladder graphs whose number of connected sets is bounded from below by Omega(1.5537(n)) for d = 3, Omega(1.6180(n)) for d = 4, and Omega(1.7320(n)) for d = 5.
