Theorem	rusgrnumwwlk 29995*	In a 𝐾-regular graph, the number of walks of a fixed length 𝑁 from a fixed vertex is 𝐾 to the power of 𝑁. By definition, (𝑁 WWalksN 𝐺) is the set of walks (as words) with length 𝑁, and (𝑃𝐿𝑁) is the number of walks with length 𝑁 starting at the vertex 𝑃. Because of the 𝐾-regularity, a walk can be continued in 𝐾 different ways at the end vertex of the walk, and this repeated 𝑁 times. This theorem even holds for 𝑁 = 0: in this case, the walk consists of only one vertex 𝑃, so the number of walks of length 𝑁 = 0 starting with 𝑃 is (𝐾↑0) = 1.

Theorem	rusgrnumwlkg 29997*	In a k-regular graph, the number of walks of a fixed length n from a fixed vertex is k to the power of n. This theorem corresponds to statement 11 in [Huneke] p. 2: "The total number of walks v(0) v(1) ... v(n-2) from a fixed vertex v = v(0) is k^(n-2) as G is k-regular." This theorem even holds for n=0: then the walk consists of only one vertex v(0), so the number of walks of length n=0 starting with v=v(0) is 1=k^0.

17.3.10  Closed walks as words In general, a closed walk is an alternating sequence of vertices and edges, as defined in df-clwlks 29791: p(0) e(f(1)) p(1) e(f(2)) ... p(n-1) e(f(n)) p(n), with p(n) = p(0). Often, it is sufficient to refer to a walk by the (cyclic) sequence of its vertices, i.e omitting its edges in its representation: p(0) p(1) ... p(n-1) p(0), see the corresponding remark on cycles (which are special closed walks) in [Diestel] p. 7. As for "walks as words" in general, the concept of a Word, see df-word 14553, is also used in Definitions df-clwwlk 30001 and df-clwwlkn 30044, and the representation of a closed walk as the sequence of its vertices is called "closed walk as word". In contrast to "walks as words", the terminating vertex p(n) of a closed walk is omitted in the representation of a closed walk as word, see definitions df-clwwlk 30001, df-clwwlkn 30044 and df-clwwlknon 30107, because it is always equal to the first vertex of the closed walk. This represenation has the advantage that the vertices can be cyclically shifted without changing the represented closed walk. Furthermore, the length of a closed walk (i.e. the number of its edges) equals the number of symbols/vertices of the word representing the closed walk. To avoid to handle the degenerate case of representing a (closed) walk of length 0 by the empty word, this case is excluded within the definition (𝑤 ≠ ∅). This is because a walk of length 0 is anchored at an arbitrary vertex by the general definition for closed walks, see 0clwlkv 30150, which neither can be reflected by the empty word nor by a singleton word ⟨“𝑣”⟩ with vertex v : ⟨“𝑣”⟩ represents the walk "𝑣𝑣", which is a (closed) walk of length 1 (if there is an edge/loop from 𝑣 to 𝑣), see loopclwwlkn1b 30061. Therefore, a closed walk corresponds to a closed walk as word only for walks of length at least 1, see clwlkclwwlk2 30022 or clwlkclwwlken 30031. Although the set ClWWalksN of all closed walks of a fixed length as words over the set of vertices is defined as function over ℕ0, the fixed length is usually not 0, because (0 ClWWalksN 𝐺) = ∅ (see clwwlkn0 30047). Analogous to (𝐴(𝑁 WWalksNOn 𝐺)𝐵), the set of walks of a fixed length 𝑁 between two vertices 𝐴 and 𝐵, the set (𝑋(ClWWalksNOn‘𝐺)𝑁) of closed walks of a fixed length 𝑁 anchored at a fixed vertex 𝑋 is defined by df-clwwlknon 30107. This definition is also based on ℕ0 instead of ℕ, with (𝑋(ClWWalksNOn‘𝐺)0) = ∅ (see clwwlk0on0 30111). clwwlknon1le1 30120 states that there is at most one (closed) walk of length 1 on a vertex, which would consist of a loop (see clwwlknon1loop 30117). And in a 𝐾-regular graph, there are 𝐾 closed walks of length 2 on each vertex, see clwwlknon2num 30124.
