    Euler's idoneal numbers and an inequality concerning minimal graphs with a prescribed number of spanning trees. (English)
    0 references
    The authors consider the following problem: what is the smallest graphs (either in terms of the number of vertices, or of the number of edges), which contains exactly a given number of spanning trees. This problem was first considered in [\textit{J. Sedláček}, Can. Math. Bull. 13, 515--517 (1970; Zbl 0202.23501)]. Here, some new bounds on problem are obtained. The central part of the paper comes from explicitly constructed graphs whose number of spanning trees can be controlled.
