The Tutte polynomial

open access: yesAequationes Mathematicae, 1969
$q$-Matroids are defined on complemented modular support lattices. Minors of length 2 are of four types as in a "classical" matroid. Tutte polynomials $\tau(x,y)$ of matroids are calculated either by recursion over deletion/contraction of single elements, by an enumeration of bases with respect to internal/external activities, or by substitution $x \to

Tutte polynomials for trees

Journal of Graph Theory, 1991
AbstractWe define two two‐variable polynomials for rooted trees and one two‐variable polynomial for unrooted trees, all of which are based on the coranknullity formulation of the Tutte polynomial of a graph or matroid. For the rooted polynomials, we show that the polynomial completely determines the rooted tree, i.e., rooted trees T1 and T2 are ...

Computing Tutte Polynomials

ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 2010
The Tutte polynomial of a graph, also known as the partition function of the q -state Potts model is a 2-variable polynomial graph invariant of considerable importance in both combinatorics and statistical physics. It contains several other polynomial invariants, such as the chromatic polynomial and flow polynomial ...

The Tutte polynomial

Random Structures and Algorithms, 1999
The author presents some recent evaluations of the Tutte polynomial in terms of coloring and flows in random graphs, lattice point enumeration, and chip firing games. He then considers some complexity issues, in particular, the existence of fully polynomial randomized approximation schemes for evaluating the Tutte polynomial.

The Tutte polynomial of ideal arrangements

Discrete Mathematics, Algorithms and Applications, 2020
The Tutte polynomial was originally a bivariate polynomial enumerating the colorings of a graph and of its dual graph. But it reveals more of the internal structure of the graph like its number of forests, of spanning subgraphs, and of acyclic orientations.

Chip firing and the tutte polynomial

Annals of Combinatorics, 1997
This paper shows that the generating function of critical configurations of a version of a chip firing game on a graph \(G\) is an evaluation of the Tutte polynomial of \(G\), thus proving a conjecture of Biggs.

The Potts model and the Tutte polynomial

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2000
This is an invited survey on the relation between the partition function of the Potts model and the Tutte polynomial. On the assumption that the Potts model is more familiar we have concentrated on the latter and its interpretations. In particular we highlight the connections with Abelian sandpiles, counting problems on random graphs, error correcting ...

A Tutte Polynomial for Coloured Graphs

Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, 1999
We define a polynomial W on graphs with colours on the edges, by generalizing the spanning tree expansion of the Tutte polynomial as far as possible: we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the edge weights for this expansion not to depend on the order used.

The Tutte Polynomial

1998
So far we have encountered several polynomials associated with a graph, including the chromatic polynomial, the characteristic polynomial and the minimal polynomial Our aim in this chapter is to study a polynomial that gives us much more information about our, graph than any of these.
