In this paper, we present a new algorithm for computing the chromatic polynomial of a general graph G. Our method is based on the addition of edges and contraction of non-edges of ...
Abstract: A k-tree is a chordal graph with no (k + 2)-clique. An -treepartition of a graph G is a vertex partition of G into `bags,' such that contracting each bag to a single...
Let ccl(G) denote the order of the largest complete minor in a graph G (also called the contraction clique number) and let Gn,p denote a random graph on n vertices with edge probab...
