Talk:Prüfer sequence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The figure on this page is not very useful for someone trying to understand Prüfer sequences. I believe it is too simple.
For instance, how would one proceed if the nodes labelled 3 and 4 were relabelled 4 and 3? Would the sequence then be 3335, or 3345? I presume the former because the later would result in a disconnected graph? It would be helpful if this were made explicit.

It says explicitly "remove the leaf with the smallest label". Therefore there is no ambiguity.
