A Tutte-style proof of Brylawski's tensor product formula
We provide a new proof of Brylawski’s formula for the Tutte polynomial of the tensor product of two matroids. Our proof involves extending Tutte’s formula, expressing the Tutte...

Computing Tutte Polynomials
The Tutte polynomial of a graph, also known as the partition function of the q-state Potts model, is a 2-variable polynomial graph invariant of considerable importance in both comb...

Computing the Tutte Polynomial in Vertex-Exponential Time
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 polynomi...

A Bijection for Eulerian-equivalence Classes of Totally Cyclic Orientations
Gioan showed that the number of cycle reversing classes of totally cyclic orientations of a given graph can be calculated as an evaluation of the corresponding Tutte polynomial. We...

From a Zoo to a Zoology: Descriptive Complexity for Graph Polynomials
Abstract. We outline a general theory of graph polynomials which covers all the examples we found in the vast literature, in particular, the chromatic polynomial, various generaliz...
