چکیده

When the graph is a path with n vertices, we simply call PG the path polynomial and denote it by Pn. Define An as the adjacency matrix of a path on n vertices. For several interesting classes of graphs, A(Gi) is a polynomial in A(G), where Gi is the ith distance graph of G ([5]). Actually, for distance-regular graphs, A(Gi) is a polynomial in A(G) of degree i, and this property characterizes these kind of graphs ([14]). In [4], Beezer has asked when a polynomial of an adjacency matrix will be the adjacency matrix of another graph. Beezer gave a solution in the case that the original graph is a path. Theorem 1.1 ([4]). Suppose that p(x) is a polynomial of degree less than n. Then p(An) is the adjacency matrix of graph if and only if p(x) = P2i+1(x), for some i, with 0 ≤ i ≤ n2 − 1. In the same paper, Beezer gave an elegant formula for Pk (An) with k = 1, . . . , n, and Bapat and Lal, in [1], completely described the structure of Pk (An), for all integers k. This result was also reached by Fonseca and Petronilho ([10]) in a noninductive way. Theorem 1.2 ([1],[4],[10]). For 0 ≤ k ≤ n− 1, n being a positive integer,

A new result on chromaticity of K4-homoemorphs with girth 9

For a graph $G$, let $P(G,lambda)$ denote the chromatic polynomial of $G$. Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are chromatically equivalent if they share the same chromatic polynomial. A graph $G$ is chromatically unique if any graph chromatically equivalent to $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. A $K_4$-homeomorph is a subdivision of the complete graph $K_4$. In this paper, we determine a family of chromatically uni...

Ela the Behaviour of the Complete Eigenstructure of a Polynomial Matrix under a Generic Rational Transformation

Given a polynomial matrix P (x) of grade g and a rational function x(y) = n(y)/d(y), where n(y) and d(y) are coprime nonzero scalar polynomials, the polynomial matrix Q(y) := [d(y)]P (x(y)) is defined. The complete eigenstructures of P (x) and Q(y) are related, including characteristic values, elementary divisors and minimal indices. A theorem on the matter, valid in the most general hypotheses...

Efficient implementation of low time complexity and pipelined bit-parallel polynomial basis multiplier over binary finite fields

This paper presents two efficient implementations of fast and pipelined bit-parallel polynomial basis multipliers over GF (2m) by irreducible pentanomials and trinomials. The architecture of the first multiplier is based on a parallel and independent computation of powers of the polynomial variable. In the second structure only even powers of the polynomial variable are used. The par...

On the Roots of Hosoya Polynomial of a Graph

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. Hosoya polynomial of G is d(u,v) H(G, x) = {u,v}V(G)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices u and v. As is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence and domination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of Hosoya polynomial of a graph. In this paper we study the roots of Hosoya polynomials of some specific g...

Tenacity and some other Parameters of Interval Graphs can be computed in polynomial time

In general, computation of graph vulnerability parameters is NP-complete. In past, some algorithms were introduced to prove that computation of toughness, scattering number, integrity and weighted integrity parameters of interval graphs are polynomial. In this paper, two different vulnerability parameters of graphs, tenacity and rupture degree are defined. In general, computing the tenacity o...
