Abstract.
Let π1:K→H, π2:H→G and π2π1:K→G be three finite regular coverings of graphs, and let σ be a representation of the covering transformation group of π1. We show that the (Bartholdi type) L-function of G associated to the representation of the covering transformation group of π2π1 induced from σ is equal to that of H associated to σ by means of ordinary voltage assignments.
