Smith normal form equivalence for rooted-tree products
Let be the tree in Fig., and let be any nontrivial tree with root . Define and . Smith normal form conjecture. The matrices and should have the same Smith normal form over . The claim extends the preceding proved result from paths and stars to arbitrary nontrivial rooted trees; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
