  • Abstract
    Fullerene graphs are 3-regular planar graphs whose faces are pentagons or hexagons. In this paper, we first compute the number of paths of low order in a fullerene. Then apply these numbers to obtain the number of independent sets of size k and k -matchings in fullerenes, when k = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 .
