摘要
A homomorphism of a graph G(1) = (V-1, E-1) to a graph G(2) = (V-2, E-2) is a mapping from the vertex set V-1 of G(1) to the vertex set V-2 of G(2) which preserves edges. In this paper we provide an algorithm to determine the number of homomorphisms from an arbitrary finite undirected path to another arbitrary finite undirected path. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
