Abstract

In [1], we introduced the concept ofz-transformation graphs of perfect matchings of hexagonal systems and showed that thez-transformation graph of perfect matchings of a hexagonal system has at most two vertices of degree one. In this paper, we enumerate the hexagonal systems whosez-transformation graphs have a vertex of degree one. In particular, such hexagonal systems with various symmetries are also enumerated.
