Closed-form expansions for the universal edge elimination polynomial

Combinatorics 2025-12-03 v3

Abstract

We establish closed-form expansions for the universal edge elimination polynomial of paths and cycles and their generating functions. This includes closed-form expansions for the bivariate matching polynomial, the bivariate chromatic polynomial, and the covered components polynomial.
