SUBGRAPH GENERATING-FUNCTIONS IN CHEMISTRY - AN EXAMPLE FOR PERFECT MATCHINGS ON HONEYCOMB FRAGMENTS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The analogous role of subgraph generating functions in statistical mechanics and in quantum-chemical theory is noted. To illustrate the analogy, the example of perfect matchings on hexagonal animals is considered. Isomorphisms to two types of multiple-walk problems are noted to reveal a "hidden order", with physical relevance. This is further used to accomplished an enumeration of the perfect matchings on a class of hexagonal-animal strips of with and length. 1993.
