Abstract :Any finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K is isomorphic to a direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over suitable division rings. We shall consider the direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over a field K. All such finite dimensional semisimple algebras arise as finite dimensional Leavitt path algebras. For this specific finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K, we define a uniquely determined specific graph - called a truncated tree associated with A - whose Leavitt path algebra is isomorphic to A. We define an algebraic invariant κ(A) for A and count the number of isomorphism classes of Leavitt path algebras with the same fixed value of κ(A). Moreover, we find the maximum and the minimum K-dimensions of the Leavitt path algebras of possible trees with a given number of vertices and we also determine the number of distinct Leavitt path algebras of line graphs with a given number of vertices.Keywords : Finite dimensional semisimple algebra, Leavitt path algebra, Truncated trees, Line graphs
