Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…
Computing the smallest number $q$ such that the vertices of a given graph can be properly $q$-colored is one of the oldest and most fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization. The $q$-Coloring problem has been studied intensively…

It is a classical result due to Jacobi in algebraic combinatorics that the generating function of closed walks at a vertex $u$ in a graph $G$ is determined by the rational function \[ \frac{\phi_{G-u}(t)}{\phi_G(t)} \] where $\phi_G(t)$ is…
