Abstract (2. Language): 
We consider the graph En+1;1 with (n+1) generators 1; :::; n, and , where i has an edge with i+1 for i = 1; :::; n+1, and 1 has an edge with . We then de ne the Artin group of the graph En+1;1 for n = 3 and n = 4 and consider its reduced Perron's representation of degrees four and ve respectively. After we specialize the indeterminates used in de ning the representation to non-zero complex numbers, we obtain necessary and sucient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of the representations for n = 3 and 4 .
