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…
In this paper, we study some properties of multivariate gamma function and zonal polynomials.
We begin with a review of Tutte's homotopy theory, which concerns the structure of certain graph associated to a matroid (together with some extra data). Concretely, Tutte's path theorem asserts that this graph is connected, and his…
The Tutte polynomial of a graph is a two-variable polynomial whose zeros and evaluations encode many interesting properties of the graph. In this article we investigate the zeros of the Tutte polynomials of graphs, and show that they form a…
We introduce a generalized Grover matrix of a graph and present an explicit formula for its characteristic polynomial. As a corollary, we give the spectra for the generalized Grover matrix of a regular graph. Next, we define a zeta function…
This brief note concerns the invertibility of certain alternant matrices. In particular those that consisting of polynomials and products of polynomials and logarithms are shown to be invertible under appropriate conditions on the degrees…
In this article, we focus on the characteristic polynomial of a graph containingloops, but without multiple edges. We present a relationship between thecharacteristic polynomial of a graph with loops and the graph obtained byremoving all…
Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce and investigate graph polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields according to…
In this note, we offer a palatable introduction to the field of arithmetic dynamics. That is, we study the patterns that arise when iterating a polynomial map. This note is accessible to those who have taken an introductory proof based…
A graph $X$ is said to be a pattern polynomial graph if its adjacency algebra is a coherent algebra. In this study we will find a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be a pattern polynomial graph. Some of the properties of the…
As a generalization of orbit-polynomial and distance-regular graphs, we introduce the concept of a quotient-polynomial graph. In these graphs every vertex $u$ induces the same regular partition around $u$, where all vertices of each cell…
Graph polynomials are graph parameters invariant under graph isomorphisms which take values in a polynomial ring with a fixed finite number of indeterminates. We study graph polynomials from a model theoretic point of view. In this paper we…
We consider here a particular quadratic equation linking two elements of a C-Algebra. By analysing powers of the unknowns, it appears a double sequence of polynomials related to classical Bernoulli polynomials. We get the generating…
We present a common generalization of counting lattice points in rational polytopes and the enumeration of proper graph colorings, nowhere-zero flows on graphs, magic squares and graphs, antimagic squares and graphs, compositions of an…
In this short note we make a few remarks on a class of generalized incidence matrices whose matroids do not depend on the orientation of the underlying graph and natural commutative algebras associated to such matrices.
We construct examples of nonnegative harmonic functions on certain graded graphs: the Young lattice and its generalizations. Such functions first emerged in harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. Our method relies on…
In this paper we investigate a spectra of the Laplacian matrix of cyclic groups using the properties of their characteristic polynomials. We have proved several assertions about the relationship between the spectra of different groups.
We present two hypermatrix formulations of the Cayley Hamilton theorem. One of the proposed formulation naturally extends to hypermatrices the combinatorial interpretations of the classical Cayley Hamilton theorem. We conclude by discussing…
In 1999 Merino and Welsh conjectured that evaluations of the Tutte polynomial of a graph satisfy an inequality. In this short article we show that the conjecture generalized to matroids holds for the large class of all split matroids by…
We give a generating set for linear relations on Tutte polynomials of rank-$r$ size-$n$ freedom matroids.
