From the configuration of a matroid (which records the size and rank of the cyclic flats and the containments among them, but not the sets), one can compute several much-studied matroid invariants, including the Tutte polynomial and a…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the weighted (harmonic) chromatic polynomials of graphs and discuss some of its properties. We also present the notion of the weighted (harmonic) Tutte--Grothendieck polynomials of graphs and give…
In this note we study a certain graph polynomial arising from a special recursion. This recursion is a member of a family of four recursions where the other three recursions belong to the chromatic polynomial, the modified matching…
We show that (k,m)-linear mappings, introduced by I. Chernega and A. Zagorodnyuk in [3], are particular cases of polynomials. As corollaries, we expose some apparently overlooked properties in the literature. For instance, every multilinear…
The $OS$ algebra $A$ of a matroid $M$ is a graded algebra related to the Whitney homology of the lattice of flats of $M$. In case $M$ is the underlying matroid of a hyperplane arrangement \A in $\C^r$, $A$ is isomorphic to the cohomology…
The Tutte polynomial for matroids is not directly applicable to polymatroids. For instance, deletion-contraction properties do not hold. We construct a polynomial for polymatroids which behaves similarly to the Tutte polynomial of a…
We provide a matrix-based formula for the Tutte symmetric function of a graph. In particular, for any graph $G$ with a designated head and tail vertex, we describe an infinite matrix $M_G$ from which the Tutte symmetric function can be…
We follow the example of Tutte in his construction of the dichromate of a graph (that is, the Tutte polynomial) as a unification of the chromatic polynomial and the flow polynomial in order to construct a new polynomial invariant of maps…
By considering Tutte polynomials of Hopf algebras, we show how a Tutte polynomial can be canonically associated with combinatorial objects that have some notions of deletion and contraction. We show that several graph polynomials from the…

A catalogue of all non-isomorphic simple connected regular matroids ${\cal M}$ of cardinality $n \leq 15$ is provided on the net. These matroids are given as binary matrix matroids and are sieved from the large pool of all non-isomorphic…
We give a direct proof of the combinatorial formula for interpolation Macdonald polynomials by introducing certain polynomials, which we call generic Macdonald polynomials, which depend on $d$ additional parameters and specialize to all…
In contrast to the univariate case, interpolation with polynomials of a given maximal total degree is not always possible even if the number of interpolation points and the space dimension coincide. Due to that, numerous constructions for…
We take an elementary and systematic approach to the problem of extending the Tutte polynomial to the setting of embedded graphs. Four notions of embedded graphs arise naturally when considering deletion and contraction operations on graphs…
We introduce the ``trivariate Tutte polynomial" of a signed graph as an invariant of signed graphs up to vertex switching that contains among its evaluations the number of proper colorings and the number of nowhere-zero flows. In this, it…
We give a convolution formula for the Tutte polynomial T_M (x,y) of a matroid M.
$q$-Matroids are defined on complemented modular support lattices. Minors of length 2 are of four types as in a "classical" matroid. Tutte polynomials $\tau(x,y)$ of matroids are calculated either by recursion over deletion/contraction of…
Weight systems are functions on chord diagrams satisfying so-called Vassiliev's $4$-term relations. They are closely related to finite type knot invariants introduced by Vassiliev. Certain weight systems can be derived from graph…
Binomial edge ideals IG of a graph G were introduced by [4]. They found some classes of graphs G with the property that IG is a Cohen-Macaulay ideal. This might happen only for few classes of graphs. A certain generalization of being…
In this note we generalize the convolution formula for the Tutte polynomial of Kook-Reiner-Stanton and Etienne-Las Vergnas to a more general setting that includes both arithmetic matroids and delta-matroids. As corollaries, we obtain new…
