Density of Zeros of the Tutte Polynomial

Tutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions

We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

On the tutte polynomial of benzenoid chains

The Tutte polynomial of a graph G, T(G, x,y) is a polynomial in two variables defined for every undirected graph contains information about how the graph is connected. In this paper a simple formula for computing Tutte polynomial of a benzenoid chain is presented.

Inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with $S$-fold zeros at the origin

‎Let $p(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ and for a complex number $alpha$‎, ‎let $D_{alpha}p(z)=np(z)+(alpha-z)p'(z)$ denote the polar derivative of the polynomial p(z) with respect to $alpha$‎. ‎Dewan et al proved‎ ‎that if $p(z)$ has all its zeros in $|z| leq k, (kleq‎ ‎1),$ with $s$-fold zeros at the origin then for every‎ ‎$alphainmathbb{C}$ with $|alpha|geq k$‎, ‎begin{align*}‎ ‎max_{|z|=...

Zeros of Jones Polynomials for Families of Knots and Links

We calculate Jones polynomials VL(t) for several families of alternating knots and links by computing the Tutte polynomials T (G, x, y) for the associated graphs G and then obtaining VL(t) as a special case of the Tutte polynomial. For each of these families we determine the zeros of the Jones polynomial, including the accumulation set in the limit of infinitely many crossings. A discussion is ...
