چکیده
In this paper, we present a formula for computing the Tutte polynomial of the signed graph formed from a labeled graph by edge replacements in terms of the chain polynomial of the labeled graph. Then we define a family of ‘ring of tangles’ links and consider zeros of their Jones polynomials. By applying the formula obtained, Beraha-Kahane-Weiss’s theorem and Sokal’s lemma, we prove that zeros of Jones polynomials of (pretzel) links are dense in the whole complex plane.

Inequalities for the polar derivative of a polynomial with $S$-fold zeros at the origin
Let $p(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ and for a complex number $alpha$, let $D_{alpha}p(z)=np(z)+(alpha-z)p'(z)$ denote the polar derivative of the polynomial p(z) with respect to $alpha$. Dewan et al proved that if $p(z)$ has all its zeros in $|z| leq k, (kleq 1),$ with $s$-fold zeros at the origin then for every $alphainmathbb{C}$ with $|alpha|geq k$, begin{align*} max_{|z|=...
متن کاملChromatic Polynomials, Potts Models and All That
The q-state Potts model can be defined on an arbitrary finite graph, and its partition function encodes much important information about that graph, including its chromatic polynomial, flow polynomial and reliability polynomial. The complex zeros of the Potts partition function are of interest both to statistical mechanicians and to combinatorists. I give a pedagogical introduction to all these...
متن کاملChromatic Roots are Dense in the Whole Complex Plane
I show that the zeros of the chromatic polynomials PG(q) for the generalized theta graphs Θ(s,p) are, taken together, dense in the whole complex plane with the possible exception of the disc |q − 1| < 1. The same holds for their dichromatic polynomials (alias Tutte polynomials, alias Potts-model partition functions) ZG(q, v) outside the disc |q + v| < |v|. An immediate corollary is that the chr...
متن کاملOn the polar derivative of a polynomial
For a polynomial p(z) of degree n, having all zeros in |z|< k, k< 1, Dewan et al [K. K. Dewan, N. Singh and A. Mir, Extension of some polynomial inequalities to the polar derivative, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 352 (2009) 807-815] obtained inequality between the polar derivative of p(z) and maximum modulus of p(z). In this paper we improve and extend the above inequality. Our result generalizes certai...
متن کاملOn Classifications of Random Polynomials
Let $ a_0 (omega), a_1 (omega), a_2 (omega), dots, a_n (omega)$ be a sequence of independent random variables defined on a fixed probability space $(Omega, Pr, A)$. There are many known results for the expected number of real zeros of a polynomial $ a_0 (omega) psi_0(x)+ a_1 (omega)psi_1 (x)+, a_2 (omega)psi_2 (x)+...
