On \(\sigma\)-polynomials (Q1111560): Difference between revisions

This paper discusses properties of \(\sigma\)-polynomials (which are closely related to chromatic polynomials in factorial form), and characterizes those that are quadratic. The number of graphs with a given quadratic \(\sigma\)-polynomials is derived, as well as the number of quadratic \(\sigma\)-polynomials, \(\sigma^ 2+a\sigma +b\), for a given a.
