A characteristic polynomial for rooted graphs and rooted digraphs
We consider the one-variable characteristic polynomial p(G; ) in two settings. When G is a rooted digraph, we show that this polynomial essentially counts the number of sinks in G. When G is a rooted graph, we give combinatorial interpretations of several coe/cients and the degree of p(G; ). In particular, |p(G; 0)| is the number of acyclic orientations of G, while the degree of p(G; ) gives th...
متن کاملOn the greedoid polynomial for rooted graphs and rooted digraphs
We examine some properties of the 2-variable greedoid polynomial f(G;t, z) when G is the branching greedoid associated to a rooted graph or a rooted directed graph. For rooted digraphs, we show a factoring property of f (G;t ,z) determines whether or not the rooted digraph has a directed cycle.
متن کاملRooted k-connections in digraphs
The problem of computing a minimum cost subgraph D′ = (V,A′) of a directed graph D = (V,A) so that D′ contains k edge-disjoint paths from a specified root r ∈ V to every other node in V is known to be nicely solvable since it can be formulated as a matroid intersection problem. A corresponding problem when openly disjoint paths are requested rather than edge-disjoint was solved in [12] with the...
متن کاملPolynomial Tutte Invariants of Rooted Integral Gain Graphs
We present dichromatic and tree-expansion polynomials of integral gain graphs that underlie the problem of counting lattice points in the complement of an integral affinographic hyperplane arrangement. This is a step towards finding the universal Tutte invariant of rooted integral gain graphs. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): Primary 05C22; Secondary 05C15.
متن کاملA Greedoid Polynomial Which Distinguishes Rooted Arborescences
We define a two-variable polynomial fa(t, z) for a greedoid G which generalizes the standard one-variable greedoid polynomial A<j(f). Several greedoid invariants (including the number of feasible sets, bases, and spanning sets) are easily shown to be evaluations of fG(t, z). We prove (Theorem 2.8) that when G is a rooted directed arborescence, fo(t, z) completely determines the arborescence. We...
