摘要
We obtain two identities and an explicit formula for the number of homomorphisms of a finite path into a finite path. For the number of endomorphisms of a finite path these give over-count and under-count identities yielding the closed-form formulae of Myers. We also derive finite Laurent series as generating functions which count homomorphisms of a finite path into any path, finite or infinite.
