Abstract
One method for counting weighted cycle systems in a graph entails taking the determinant of the identity matrix minus the adjacency matrix of the graph. The result of this operation is the sum over cycle systems of −1 to the power of the number of disjoint cycles times the weight of the cycle system. We use this fact to reprove that the determinant of a matrix of much smaller order can be computed to calculate the number of cycle systems in a hamburger graph.
