Graph polynomials (Q2832134)

This edited volume consists of 11 survey-style articles on graph polynomials and their applications. The topics covered (and their authors) are: the interlace polynomial (A.\ Morse), independence polynomials of \(k\)-trees and compound graphs (W.\ Staton, B.\ Wei), the abelian sandpile model on graphs and their polynomials (M.\ Dukes, Y. Le Borgne), second quantization of recurrences (P.\ Feinsilver, J.\ P.\ McSorley), the matching polynomial (I.\ Gutman), the permanent polynomials (W.\ Li, S.\ Liu, T.\ Wu, H.\ Zhang), the Ising and Potts models and the general graph homomorphism polynomial (K.\ Markström), derivatives and real roots of graph polynomials (X.\ Li, Y.\ Shi), logic-based computation of graph polynomials (T.\ Kotek), the alliance polynomial (W.\ Carballosa, J.\ M.\ Rodriguez, J.\ M.\ Sigarreta, Y. Torres-Nuñez), and graph polynomials and set functions (B.\ Lass).
