报告内容简介：The study on the number of subtrees in a graph is a hot topic in enumerative combinatorics with some related problems. Extremal problems in this field are much attractive in graph theory. Many results are published on the above topics for trees, but there are few results for the general graphs. In this talk we characterize the extremal graphs with the number of subtrees among all the connected graphs of order n with k cut edges, cacti of order n with k cycles, and block graphs of order n with k blocks, respectively. And a partial solution is provided to a conjecture for the mean subtree order of trees posed in 1984. Moreover, the extremal tree is determined with the second smallest mean subtree order. Furthermore, a complete solution is obtained to a conjecture of the probability that a random subtree of K_n contains a given edge.
