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…
Closely following recent ideas of J. Borcea, we discuss various modifications and relaxations of Sendov's conjecture about the location of critical points of a polynomial with complex coefficients. The resulting open problems are formulated…
A two-variable extension of the Bannai-Ito polynomials is presented. They are obtained via $q\to-1$ limits of the bivariate $q$-Racah and Askey-Wilson orthogonal polynomials introduced by Gasper and Rahman. Their orthogonality relation is…
In this article we give explicit descriptions of the multiplicities of some classes of monomial ideals. For instance, we give a formula for the multiplicities of all codimension 1 monomial ideals, and another formula for the multiplicities…
We generalize the Wriggle polynomial, first introduced by L. Folwaczny and L. Kauffman, to the case of virtual tangles. This generalization naturally arises when considering the self-crossings of the tangle. We prove that the generalization…
Using the Okounkov-Maulik stable map, we identify the equivariant cohomology of instanton moduli spaces with the space of polynomials on an infinite number of variables. We define the generalized Jack polynomials as the polynomials…
In the literature can be found several descriptions of the Tutte polynomial of graphs. Tutte defined it thanks to a notion of activity based on an ordering of the edges. Thereafter, Bernardi gave a non-equivalent notion of the activity…
A hierarchy of matrix-valued polynomials which generalize the Jacobi polynomials is found. Defined by a Rodrigues formula, they are also products of a sequence of differential operators. Each class of polynomials is complete, satisfies a…
We study the higher-order Euler polynomials and give the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials, which are Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with certain arguments and constant factors. Moreover, through a general connection between moments…
An association scheme is $P$-polynomial if and only if it consists of the distance matrices of a distance-regular graph. Recently, bivariate $P$-polynomial association schemes of type $(\alpha,\beta)$ were introduced by Bernard et al., and…
A new family of polynomials, called cumulant polynomial sequence, and its extensions to the multivariate case is introduced relied on a purely symbolic combinatorial method. The coefficients of these polynomials are cumulants, but depending…
Mutual visibility in graphs provides a framework for analysing how vertices can observe one another along shortest paths free of internal obstructions. The visibility polynomial, which enumerates mutual-visibility sets of all orders, has…
We investigate which homogeneous polynomials are determined by their Jacobian ideals, and extend and complete previous results due to J. Carlson and Ph. Griffiths, K. Ueda and M. Yoshinaga, and A. Dimca and E. Sernesi.
A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…
A fourientation of a graph is a choice for each edge of the graph whether to orient that edge in either direction, leave it unoriented, or biorient it. Fixing a total order on the edges and a reference orientation of the graph, we…
By polynomial (or extended binomial) coefficients, we mean the coefficients in the expansion of integral powers, positive and negative, of the polynomial $1+t +\cdots +t^{m}$; $m\geq 1$ being a fixed integer. We will establish several…
Lucas polynomials are polynomials in $s_1$ and $s_2$ defined recursively by $\{0\}=0$, $\{1\}=1$, and $\{m\}=s_1\{m-1\}+s_2\{m-2\}$ for $m \geq 2$. We generalize Lucas polynomials from 2-variable polynomials to multivariable polynomials.…
The $M$-polynomial of a graph $G$ is defined as $\sum_{i\le j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$, where $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,j\ge 1$, is the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that $\{d_v(G), d_u(G)\} = \{i,j\}$. Knowing the $M$-polynomial, formulas for bond…
Presented approach in polynomial time calculates large number of invariants for each vertex, which won't change with graph isomorphism and should fully determine the graph. For example numbers of closed paths of length k for given starting…
Mutual-visibility sets were motivated by visibility in distributed systems and social networks, and intertwine with several classical mathematical areas. Monotone properties of the variety of mutual-visibility sets, and restrictions of such…
