Preface: Old and new perspectives on the Tutte polynomial (Q941618)

From the author's abstract: This paper introduces a special issue on the Tutte polynomial derived from the Second Workshop on Tutte Polynomials and Applications, 2005, held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, Bellaterra, Catalonia. We discuss the prehistory of Tutte polynomials and two current areas of research, to what extent a graph is determined by its chromatic or Tutte polynomial and generic versions of Tutte polynomials.
