摘要

Using the transfer matrix method, we obtain the calculation method for the numbers of perfect matchings of m-layer hexagonal chains. Especially, we give out the linear recurrences, generating functions and general terms for the numbers of the perfect matchings in two types of special m-layer hexagonal chains–alternating and parallelogram hexagonal chains.
