Decomposition formulas of zeta functions of graphs and digraphs

AbstractWe give a decomposition formula of the zeta function of a regular covering of a graph G with respect to equivalence classes of prime, reduced cycles of G. Furthermore, we give a decomposition formula of the zeta function of a g-cyclic Γ-cover of a symmetric digraph D with respect to equivalence classes of prime cycles of D, for any finite group Γ and g∈Γ
