Evaluations of Graph Polynomials

چکیده
A graph polynomial p(G, X̄) can code numeric information about the underlying graph G in various ways: as its degree, as one of its specific coefficients or as evaluations at specific points X̄ = x̄0. In this paper we study the question how to prove that a given graph parameter, say ω(G), the size of the maximal clique of G, cannot be a fixed coefficient or the evaluation at any point of the Tutte polynomial, the interlace polynomial, or any graph polynomial of some infinite family of graph polynomials. Our result is very general. We give a sufficient condition in terms of the connection matrix of graph parameter f(G) which implies that it cannot be the evaluation of any graph polynomial which is invariantly definable in CMSOL, the Monadic Second Order Logic augmented with modular counting quantifiers. This criterion covers most of the graph polynomials known from the literature.

Let G be a simple graph and (G,) denotes the number of proper vertex colourings of G with at most colours, which is for a fixed graph G , a polynomial in , which is called the chromatic polynomial of G . Using the chromatic polynomial of some specific graphs, we obtain the chromatic polynomials of some nanostars.
متن کاملSome results on vertex-edge Wiener polynomials and indices of graphs
The vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of a simple connected graph are defined based on the distances between vertices and edges of that graph. The first derivative of these polynomials at one are called the vertex-edge Wiener indices. In this paper, we express some basic properties of the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of simple connected graphs and compare the first and second ve...
متن کاملThe Polynomials of a Graph
In this paper, we are presented a formula for the polynomial of a graph. Our main result is the following formula: [Sum (d{_u}(k))]=[Sum (a{_kj}{S{_G}^j}(1))], where, u is an element of V(G) and 1<=j<=k.
متن کاملOn Counting Polynomials of Some Nanostructures
The Omega polynomial(x) was recently proposed by Diudea, based on the length of strips in given graph G. The Sadhana polynomial has been defined to evaluate the Sadhana index of a molecular graph. The PI polynomial is another molecular descriptor. In this paper we compute these three polynomials for some infinite classes of nanostructures.
