As is well known in the theory of graphs a tree is a connected graph without cycles. Many characterizing properties of trees are known (1), for example the cyclomatic number is equal to zero, which is also equal to p — 1, where p is the number of connected components of the graph. The graphs with cyclomatic number equal to p — 1 are defined here as tree-equivalent graphs. A tree is always a tree-equivalent graph but not conversely. The properties of tree-equivalent graphs are studied here.
