Chordal graphs and the characteristic polynomial
A characteristic polynomial was recently de!ned for greedoids, generalizing the notion for matroids. When chordal graphs are viewed as antimatroids by shelling of simplicial vertices, the greedoid characteristic polynomial gives additional information about those graphs. In particular, the characteristic polynomial for a chordal graph is an alternating clique generating function and is expressi...
متن کاملRelationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications
ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...
متن کاملComputing the Characteristic Polynomial of Threshold Graphs
We present an algorithm for constructing the characteristic polynomial of a threshold graph’s adjacency matrix. The algorithm is based on a diagonalization procedure that is easy to describe. It can be implemented using O(n) space and with running time O(n).

متن کاملPolynomial-Time Algorithm for the Leafage of Chordal Graphs
Every chordal graph G can be represented as the intersection graph of a collection of subtrees of a host tree, the so-called tree model of G. The leafage l(G) of a connected chordal graph G is the minimum number of leaves of the host tree of a tree model of G. This concept was first defined by I.-J. Lin, T.A. McKee, and D.B. West in [9]. In this contribution, we present the first polynomial tim...
متن کاملThe generating polynomial and Euler characteristic of intersection graphs
Let E” be n-dimensional Euclidean space. A molecular space is a family of unit cubes in E”. Any molecular space can be represented by its intersection graph. Conversely, it is known that any graph G can be represented by molecular space M(G) in E” for some n. Suppose that S, and S, are topologically equivalent surfaces in E” and molecular spaces M, and M, are the two families of unit cubes inte...
