Polynomial time randomised approxmiation schemes for the Tutte polynomial of dense graphs

چکیده
The Tutte-Gröthendieck polynomial T (G;x, y) of a graph G encodes numerous interesting combinatorial quantities associated with the graph. Its evaluation in various points in the (x, y) plane give the number of spanning forests of the graph, the number of its strongly connected orientations, the number of its proper k-colorings, the (all terminal) reliability probability of the graph, and various other invariants the exact computation of each of which is well known to be #P -hard. Here we develop a general technique that supplies fully polynomial randomised approximation schemes for approximating the value of T (G;x, y) for any dense graph G, that is, any graph on n vertices whose minimum degree is Ω(n), whenever x ≥ 1 and y ≥ 1, and in various additional points. This region includes evaluations of reliability and partition functions of the ferromagnetic Q-state Potts model.

متن کاملTutte 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.
