Combinatorics 2021-08-31 v1

Abstract

By using the Poisson formula for resultants and the variants of chip-firing game on graphs, we provide a combinatorial method for computing a class of of resultants, i.e. the characteristic polynomials of the adjacency tensors of starlike hypergraphs including hyperpaths and hyperstars,which are given recursively and explicitly.
