In this paper, we determine precise formulas for the diameters, the number of perfect matchings, and the Tutte polynomials for an infinite family of finite graphs, namely the Schreier graphs of tree automaton groups, also called tree graph…

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…

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 investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…

This paper considers a hyperplane arrangement constructed with a subset of a set of all simple paths in a graph. A connection of the constructed arrangement to the maximum matching problem is established. Moreover, the problem of finding…

We associate two modules, the $G$-parking critical module and the toppling critical module, to an undirected connected graph $G$. The $G$-parking critical module and the toppling critical module are canonical modules (with suitable twists)…

The deletion--contraction algorithm is perhaps the most popular method for computing a host of fundamental graph invariants such as the chromatic, flow, and reliability polynomials in graph theory, the Jones polynomial of an alternating…

The two operations, deletion and contraction of an edge, on multigraphs directly lead to the Tutte polynomial which satisfies a universal problem. As observed by Brylawski in terms of order relations, these operations may be interpreted as…

Specializing the $\gamma$-basis for the vector space $\mathcal{G}(n,r)$ spanned by the set of symbols on bit sequences with $r$ $1$'s and $n-r$ $0$'s, we obtain a frame or spanning set for the vector space $\mathcal{T}(n,r)$ spanned by…

Recently V. Krushkal and D. Renardy generalized the Tutte polynomial from graphs to cell complexes. We show that evaluating this polynomial at the origin gives the number of cellular spanning trees in the sense of A. Duval, C. Klivans, and…

Motivated by circle graphs, and the enumeration of Euler circuits, we define a one-variable ``interlace polynomial'' for any graph. The polynomial satisfies a beautiful and unexpected reduction relation, quite different from the cut and…

Graph invariants are a useful tool in graph theory. Not only do they encode useful information about the graphs to which they are associated, but complete invariants can be used to distinguish between non-isomorphic graphs. Polynomial…

We introduce a multiplicity Tutte polynomial M(x,y), with applications to zonotopes and toric arrangements. We prove that M(x,y) satisfies a deletion-restriction recurrence and has positive coefficients. The characteristic polynomial and…

In the paper [Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Ser. A Mathematical Sciences, 95(10) 111-113], the authors introduce the concept of the Tutte polynomials of genus $g$ and announce that each matroid $M$ can be reconstructed from its Tutte…

In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B 16 (1974), 168-174], Tutte called two graphs $T$-equivalent (i.e., codichromatic) if they have the same Tutte polynomial and showed that graphs $G$ and $G'$ are $T$-equivalent if $G'$ is obtained from…

$q$-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…

We define and study "semimatroids", a class of objects which abstracts the dependence properties of an affine hyperplane arrangement. We show that geometric semilattices are precisely the posets of flats of semimatroids. We define and…

The block-cut tree decomposes a connected graph along its cutvertices, displaying its 2-connected components. The Tutte-decomposition extends this idea to 2-separators in 2-connected graphs, yielding a canonical tree-decomposition that…

We present exact calculations of Potts model partition functions and the equivalent Tutte polynomials for polygon chain graphs with open and cyclic boundary conditions. Special cases of the results that yield flow and reliability…

Let $T(G;X,Y)$ be the Tutte polynomial for graphs. We study the sequence $t_{a,b}(n) = T(K_n;a,b)$ where $a,b$ are non-negative integers, and show that for every $\mu \in \N$ the sequence $t_{a,b}(n)$ is ultimately periodic modulo $\mu$…
