Its combinatorial interpretation says for each two edges of a graph G, that the presence of one of them in a random spanning tree of G is negatively correlated with the presence of the other edge. In this paper we give a self-contained (inductive) proof of Rayleigh monotonicity for graphs.7 pagesCombinatorics05C05; 05A20Elementary proof of Rayleigh formula for graphstext
