For graphs A , B , let (   B A ) denote the number of subsets of nodes of A for which the induced subgraph is B . If G and H both have girth > k , and if (   T G ) = (   T H ) for every k ‐node tree T , then for every k ‐node forest F , (   F G ) = (   G H ). Say the spread of a tree is the number of nodes in a longest path. If G is regular of degree d , on n nodes, with girth > k , and if F is a forest of total spread ≤ k , then the value of (   F G ) depends only on n and d .
