The Tutte polynomial for homeomorphism classes of graphs
We study a polynomial which contains, as special cases, the Tutte polynomials of all members of a given homeomorphism class of graphs. We further show that this polynomial can be directly derived from the chain polynomial introduced in [1]. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملThe Tutte Polynomial Characterizes Simple Outerplanar Graphs
We show that if G is a simple outerplanar graph and H is a graph with the same Tutte polynomial as G, then H is also outerplanar. Examples show that the condition of G being simple cannot be omitted.
متن کاملTutte polynomial expansions for 2-separable graphs
Let Ĝ be a graph obtained from a graph G with no loops or coloops by replacing each edge e= uw of G by a connected graph He that has only the vertices u and w in common with the rest of Ĝ. Two mutually dual formulas are proved for the Tutte polynomial of Ĝ in terms of parameters of the graphs He and (in the one case) 0ow polynomials of subgraphs of G or (in the other case) tension polynomials o...
متن کاملA Tutte polynomial for signed graphs
This paper introduces a generalization of the Tutte polynomial [14] that is defined for signed graphs. A signed graph is a graph whose edges are each labelled with a sign (+l or 1). The generalized polynomial will be denoted Q[G] = Q[G](A, B, d). Here G is the signed graph, and the letters A, B, d denote three independent polynomial variables. The polynomial Q[G] can be specialized to the Tutte...
متن کاملOn the tutte polynomial of benzenoid chains
The Tutte polynomial of a graph G, T(G, x,y) is a polynomial in two variables defined for every undirected graph contains information about how the graph is connected. In this paper a simple formula for computing Tutte polynomial of a benzenoid chain is presented.
