The Matching Polynomial of a Distance-regular Graph
A distance-regular graph of diameter d has 2d intersection numbers that determinemany properties of graph (e.g., its spectrum). We show that the first six coefficients of the matching polynomial of a distance-regular graph can also be determined from its intersection array, and that this is the maximum number of coefficients so determined. Also, the converse is true for distance-regular graphs ...
متن کاملRelationship 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...
متن کاملSubgraphs Graph in a Distance-regular Graph
Let Γ denote a D-bounded distance-regular graph, where D ≥ 3 is the diameter of Γ. For 0 ≤ s ≤ D − 3 and a weak-geodetically closed subgraph ∆ of Γ with diameter s, define a graph G(∆) whose vertex set is the collection of all weak-geodetically closed subgraphs of diameter s+2 containing ∆, and vertex Ω is adjacent to vertex Ω′ in G if and only if Ω∩Ω′ as a subgraph of Γ has diameter s+1. We sh...
متن کاملA Questionable Distance-Regular Graph
In this paper, we introduce distance-regular graphs and develop the intersection algebra for these graphs which is based upon its intersection numbers. We discuss results following from the definition of the intersection algebra. We investigate two examples of distance-regular graphs and show how these results apply. Finally, we introduce parameters that determine intersection numbers. We inves...
متن کاملOn 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...
