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...
The Tutte polynomial is a notoriously hard graph invariant, and efficient algorithms for it are known only for a few special graph classes, like for those of bounded tree-width. Th...
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...

The recently introduced chain and sheaf polynomials of a graph are shown to be essentially equivalent to a weighted version of the Tutte polynomial. c 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. A...
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...
