As the extension of the previous work by Ciucu and the present authors [M. Ciucu, W.G. Yan, F.J. Zhang, The number of spanning trees of plane graphs with reflective symmetry, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 112 (2005) 105-116], this paper considers the problem of enumeration of spanning trees of weighted graphs with an involution which allows fixed points. We show that if G is a weighted graph with an involution, then the sum of weights of spanning trees of G can be expressed in terms of the product of the sums of weights of spanning trees of two weighted graphs with a smaller size determined by the involution of G. As applications, we enumerate spanning trees of the almost-complete bipartite graph, the almost-complete graph, the Mobius ladder, and the almost-join of two copies of a graph. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
