In this paper, we give an explicit formula as a rational function for the Ihara zeta function of every finite connected graph without degree one vertices whose circuit rank is two.

We study the Ihara zeta function of the dumbbell graph $D_{1,1,n}$ of type (1, 1, n) and $D_{1,2,n}$ of type (1, 2, n). Explicit formulas of the zeta functions of the graphs, their radius of convergence, and the connection with the number of closed cycles are given.

We study the set of critical exponents of discrete groups acting on regular trees. We prove that for every real number ${\delta}$ between 0 and ${\frac{1}{2}}\;{\log}\;q$, there is a discrete subgroup ${\Gamma}$ acting without inversion on a (q+1)-regular tree whose critical exponent is equal to ${\delta}$. Explicit construction of edge-indexed graphs corresponding to a quotient graph of groups are given.
