Nullity Invariance for Pivot and the Interlace Polynomial
We show that the effect of principal pivot transform on the nullity values of the principal submatrices of a given (square) matrix is described by the symmetric difference operator (for sets). We consider its consequences for graphs, and in particular generalize the recursive relation of the interlace polynomial and simplify its proof.
متن کاملBinary nullity, Euler circuits and interlace polynomials
A theorem of Cohn and Lempel [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 13 (1972), 83-89] gives an equality involving the number of directed circuits in a circuit partition of a 2-in, 2-out digraph and the GF (2)-nullity of an associated matrix. This equality is essentially equivalent to the relationship between directed circuit partitions of 2-in, 2-out digraphs and vertexnullity interlace polynomials of circl...
متن کاملA multivariate interlace polynomial
We define a multivariate polynomial that generalizes several interlace polynomials defined by Arratia, Bollobas and Sorkin on the one hand, and Aigner and van der Holst on the other. We follow the route traced by Sokal, who defined a multivariate generalization of Tutte’s polynomial. We also show that bounded portions of our interlace polynomial can be evaluated in polynomial time for graphs of...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of the Interlace Polynomial
We consider the two-variable interlace polynomial introduced by Arratia, Bollobás and Sorkin (2004). We develop two graph transformations which allow us to derive point-to-point reductions for the interlace polynomial. Exploiting these reductions we obtain new results concerning the computational complexity of evaluating the interlace polynomial at a fixed point. Regarding exact evaluation, we ...
متن کاملIsotropic systems and the interlace polynomial
Through a series of papers in the 1980’s, Bouchet introduced isotropic systems and the Tutte-Martin polynomial of an isotropic system. Then, Arratia, Bollobás, and Sorkin developed the interlace polynomial of a graph in [ABS00] in response to a DNA sequencing application. The interlace polynomial has generated considerable recent attention, with new results including realizing the original inte...
