A graph polynomial and its applications

SIGNED GENERALIZED PETERSEN GRAPH AND ITS CHARACTERISTIC POLYNOMIAL

Let G^s be a signed graph, where G = (V;E) is the underlying simple graph and s : E(G) to {+, -} is the sign function on E(G). In this paper, we obtain k-th signed spectral moment and k-th signed Laplacian spectral moment of Gs together with coefficients of their signed characteristic polynomial and signed Laplacian characteristic polynomial are calculated.

Relationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications

ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...

Polynomial Decomposition and Its Applications

We present a simple algorithm for decomposing a polynomial H(x) into two constituent polynomials H(x) = f(g(x)), if such exist. Reversing a composition of two polynomials is shown to be reducible to a set of non-linear equations with a simple structure. While, in general, the solution of non-linear equations is quite complicated, we show that in this system the solution can be computed exactly ...

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...
