چکیده

The Tutte polynomial of a graph is a 2-variable polynomial which is quite important in both combinatorics and statistical physics. It contains various numerical invariants and polynomial invariants ,such as the number of spanning trees,the number of spanning forests , the number of acyclic orientations , the reliability polynomial,chromatic polynomial and flow polynomial . In this paper,we study and gain recursive formulas for the Tutte polynomial of pseudofractal scale-free web(PSW) which implies logarithmic complexity algorithm is obtained to calculate the Tutte polynomial of PSW although it is NP-hard for general graph.We also obtain the rigorous solution for the the number of spanning trees of PSW by solving the recurrence relations derived from Tutte polynomial ,which give an alternative approach for explicitly determining the number of spanning trees of PSW.Further more,we analysis the all-terminal reliability of PSW and compare the results with that of Sierpinski gasket which has the same number of nodes and edges with PSW. In contrast with the well-known conclusion that scale-free networks are more robust against removal of nodes than homogeneous networks (e.g., exponential networks and regular networks).Our results show that Sierpinski gasket (which is a regular network) are more robust against random edge failures than PSW (which is a scalefree network) .Whether it is true for any regular networks and scale-free networks ,is still a unresolved problem.

Independence number and the number of maximum independent sets in pseudofractal scale-free web and Sierpiński gasket

As a fundamental subject of theoretical computer science, the maximum independent set (MIS) problem not only is of purely theoretical interest, but also has found wide applications in various fields. However, for a general graph determining the size of a MIS is NP-hard, and exact computation of the number of all MISs is even more difficult. It is thus of significant interest to seek special gra...

Tutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions

We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

Domination number and minimum dominating sets in pseudofractal scale-free web and Sierpiński graph

The minimum dominating set (MDS) problem is a fundamental subject of theoretical computer science, and has found vast applications in different areas, including sensor networks, protein interaction networks, and structural controllability. However, the determination of the size of a MDS and the number of all MDSs in a general network is NP-hard, and it thus makes sense to seek particular graphs...
