For a graph property $\Pi$, Subgraph Complementation to $\Pi$ is the problem to find whether there is a subset $S$ of vertices of the input graph $G$ such that modifying $G$ by complementing the subgraph induced by $S$ results in a graph…

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…

Let the symmetric functions be defined for the pair of integers $\left( n,r\right) $, $n\geq r\geq 1$, by $p_{n}^{\left( r\right) }=\sum m_{\lambda }$ where $m_{\lambda }$ are the monomial symmetric functions, the sum being over the…

A planar stuffed map is an embedding of a graph into the 2-sphere $S^{2}$, considered up to orientation-preserving homeomorphisms, such that the complement of the graph is a collection of disjoint topologically connected components that are…

The h-vector of a matroid M is an important invariant related to the independence complex of M and can also be recovered from an evaluation of its Tutte polynomial. A well-known conjecture of Stanley posits that the h-vector of a matroid is…

Given a connected undirected graph $G$, a spanning tree is a subgraph $T$ of $G$ such that $V(T) = V(G)$ and $T$ is a tree. A collection of $\ell$ spanning trees $T_1,\ldots,T_\ell$ is pairwise $k$-diverse if for every $i \neq j$, $|E(T_i)…

Recently, Choi and Park introduced an invariant of a finite simple graph, called signed a-number, arising from computing certain topological invariants of some specific kinds of real toric manifolds. They also found the signed a-numbers of…

The classical relationship between the Tutte polynomial of graph theory and the Potts model of statistical mechanics has resulted in valuable interactions between the disciplines. Unfortunately, it does not include the external magnetic…

Let $\Delta$ be an integer $n \times n$-matrix which satisfies the conditions: $\det \Delta\neq 0$, $\Delta_{ij}\leq 0\text{ for }i\neq j,$ and there exists a vector ${\bf r}=(r_1,\ldots,r_n)>0$ such that ${\bf r}\Delta \geq 0$. Here the…

We give a recursive definition of generalized parking function that allows us to view them as a species. From there we compute a non-commutative characteristic of the generalized parking function module, and deduce some enumeration formulas…

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…

Consider an infinite tree with random degrees, i.i.d. over the sites, with a prescribed probability distribution with generating function G(s). We consider the following variation of Renyi's parking problem, alternatively called blocking…

For two given positive integers $p$ and $q$ with $p\leqslant q$, we denote $\mathscr{T}_n^{p, q}={T: T$ is a tree of order $n$ with a $(p, q)$-bipartition}. For a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, let $A(G)$ be its adjacency matrix with…

For every finite simple connected graph $G = (V,E)$, we introduce an invariant, its blowup-polynomial $p_G(\{ n_v : v \in V \})$. This is obtained by dividing the determinant of the distance matrix of its blowup graph $G[{\bf n}]$…

We study functional graphs generated by quadratic polynomials over prime fields. We introduce efficient algorithms for methodical computations and provide the values of various direct and cumulative statistical parameters of interest. These…

For each nonnegative integer $i$, let $a_i$ be the number of $i$-subsets of $V(G)$ that induce an acyclic subgraph of a given graph $G$. We define $A(G,x) = \sum_{i \geq 0} a_i x^i$ (the generating function for $a_i$) to be the acyclic…

The q-state Potts model is a fundamental framework in statistical physics and graph theory, with its partition function encoding rich information about spin configurations. The multivariate Tutte polynomial (known as the partition function…

Graph polynomials encode fundamental combinatorial invariants of graphs. Their computation is investigated using tree and path decomposition frameworks, with formal definitions of treewidth, k-trees, and pathwidth establishing the…

We show that any graph polynomial from a wide class of graph polynomials yields a recurrence relation on an infinite class of families of graphs. The recurrence relations we obtain have coefficients which themselves satisfy linear…

The Graph Minor Structure Theorem, originally proven by Robertson and Seymour [JCTB, 2003], asserts that there exist functions $f_1, f_2 \colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for every non-planar graph $H$ with $t := |V(H)|$, every…
