Monotone Arithmetic Complexity of Graph Homomorphism Polynomials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
We study homomorphism polynomials, which are polynomials that enumerate all homomorphisms from a pattern graph H to n-vertex graphs. These polynomials have received a lot of attention recently for their crucial role in several new algorithms for counting

On Weakly Distinguishing Graph Polynomials [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
A univariate graph polynomial P(G;X) is weakly distinguishing if for almost all finite graphs G there is a finite graph H with P(G;X)=P(H;X). We show that the clique polynomial and the independence polynomial are weakly distinguishing.

From the Ising and Potts Models to the General Graph Homomorphism Polynomial

open access: yes, 2016
A number of classical models in statistical physics, such as the Ising model, Potts model, and lattice gas, can be formulated in terms of the generating function for weighted versions of homo-morphisms from G to some graph H.

The construction of graphs with irreducible matching polynomials and their generalizations

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics
This paper investigates methods for constructing graphs whose matching polynomials are irreducible over [Formula: see text]. Building on this, the construction method is extended to general graph polynomials, for graphs whose polynomials satisfy certain ...

On the dependence polynomial of a graph

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 2007
For an \(n\)-vertex graph \(G\) and \(i=0, 1, \dots, n\), let \(c_i\) denote the number of complete subgraphs on \(i\) vertices in \(G\). The dependence polynomial \(P_G(z)\) of \(G\) is defined by \(P_G(z)=1+\sum_{i=1}^n (-1)^i c_iz^i\). Using a Möbius-type inversion formula, the authors show that \[ \begin{aligned} P_G(z)&=\sum_{\emptyset\not ...

The chromatic polynomial of a graph [PDF]

open access: yesPacific Journal of Mathematics, 1985
First, the author summarizes some known results on chromatical polynomials and sketches their proofs. Then he lists the chromatical polynomials of all graphs with fewer than seven vertices.

RC-Graphs and Schubert Polynomials [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Mathematics, 1993
Using a formula of Billey, Jockusch and Stanley, Fomin and Kirillov have introduced a new set of diagrams that encode the Schubert polynomials. We call these objects rc-graphs. We define and prove two variants of an algorithm for constructing the set of all rc-graphs for a given permutation.

On a class of polynomials associated with the Cliques in a graph and its applications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1989
The clique polynomial of a graph is defined. An explicit formula is then derived for the clique polynomial of the complete graph. A fundamental theorem and a reduction process is then given for clique polynomials.

Entropy and Multi-Fractal Analysis in Complex Fractal Systems Using Graph Theory

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
In 1997, Sierpinski graphs, S(n,k), were obtained by Klavzar and Milutinovic. The graph S(1,k) represents the complete graph Kk and S(n,3) is known as the graph of the Tower of Hanoi. Through generalizing the notion of a Sierpinski graph, a graph named a

A Homomorphic Polynomial for Oriented Graphs

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2023
In this article, we define a function that counts the number of (onto) homomorphisms of an oriented graph. We show that this function is always a polynomial and establish it as an extension of the notion of chromatic polynomials. We study algebraic properties of this function.
