چکیده

The complexity of calculating the coefficients of the Tutte polynomial of a graph is considered. The calculation of some coefficients is shown to be # P-complete, whereas some other coefficients can be computed in polynomial time. However, even for a hard coefficient, it can be decided in polynomial time whether it is less than a fixed constant.

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.

Flow Polynomial of some Dendrimers

Suppose G is an nvertex and medge simple graph with edge set E(G). An integervalued function f: E(G) → Z is called a flow. Tutte was introduced the flow polynomial F(G, λ) as a polynomial in an indeterminate λ with integer coefficients by F(G,λ) In this paper the Flow polynomial of some dendrimers are computed.

The multivariate arithmetic Tutte polynomial

We introduce an arithmetic version of the multivariate Tutte polynomial recently studied by Sokal, and a quasi-polynomial that interpolates between the two. We provide a generalized Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation for representable arithmetic matroids, with applications to arithmetic colorings and flows. We give a new proof of the positivity of the coefficients of the arithmetic Tutte polynomi...
