A sequence fn(q) is q-holonomic if it satisfies a nontrivial linear recurrence with coefficients polynomials in q and qn . Our main theorem states that q-holonomicity is preserve...
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 Jones polynomial of an alternating link is a certain specialization of the Tutte polynomial of the (planar) checkerboard graph associated to an alternating projection of the li...
