The Bipartition Polynomial of a Graph: Reconstruction, Decomposition, and Applications

Combinatorics 2017-02-14 v1

Abstract

The bipartition polynomial of a graph is a generalization of many other graph polynomials, including the domination, Ising, matching, independence, cut, and Euler polynomial. We show in this paper that it is also a powerful tool for proving graph properties. In addition, we can show that the bipartition polynomial is polynomially reconstructible, which means that we can recover it from the multiset of bipartition polynomials of one-edge-deleted subgraphs.
