Two Results on Real Zeros of Chromatic Polynomials
This note presents two results on real zeros of chromatic polynomials. The first result states that if G is a graph containing a q-tree as a spanning subgraph, then the chromatic ...

A zero-free interval for flow polynomials of cubic graphs
Let P(G,t) and F(G,t) denote the chromatic and flow polynomials of a graph G. D.R. Woodall has shown that, if G is a plane triangulation, then the only zeros of P(G,t) in (−∞...

Zero-Free Intervals for Flow Polynomials of Near-Cubic Graphs
Let P(G,t) and F(G,t) denote the chromatic and flow polynomials of a graph G. G.D. Birkhoff and D.C. Lewis showed that, if G is a plane near triangulation, then the only zeros of...

Further Investigations Involving Rook Polynomials With Only Real Zeros
We study the zeros of two families of polynomials related to rook theory and matchings in graphs. One of these families is based on the cover polynomial of a digraph introduced by ...

Two enumerative results on cycles of permutations
Answering a question of B´ona, it is shown that for n ≥ 2 the probability that 1 and 2 are in the same cycle of a product of two n-cycles on the set {1, 2, . . . , n} is 1/2 if...
