Abstract Arithmetic matroids arising from a list A of integral vectors in Zn are of recent interest and the arithmetic Tutte polynomial MA(x, y) of A is a fundamental invariant with deep connections to several areas. In this work, we consider two lists of vectors coming from the rows of matrices associated to a tree T. Let T = (V, E) be a tree with |V| = n and let LT be the q-analogue of its Laplacian L in the variable q. Assign q = r for r ∈ ℤ with r/= 0, ±1 and treat the n rows of LT after this assignment as a list containing elements of ℤn. We give a formula for the arithmetic Tutte polynomial MLT (x, y) of this list and show that it depends only on n, r and is independent of the structure of T. An analogous result holds for another polynomial matrix associated to T: EDT, the n × n exponential distance matrix of T. More generally, we give formulae for the multivariate arithmetic Tutte polynomials associated to the list of row vectors of these two matriceswhich shows that even the multivariate arithmetic Tutte polynomial is independent of the tree T. As a corollary, we get the Ehrhart polynomials of the following zonotopes: - ZEDT obtained from the rows of EDT and - ZLT obtained from the rows of LT. Further, we explicitly find the maximum volume ellipsoid contained in the zonotopes ZEDT, ZLT and show that the volume of these ellipsoids are again tree independent for fixed n, q. A similar result holds for the minimum volume ellipsoid containing these zonotopes.

Definition Of

The Tutte polynomial is originally a bivariate polynomial which enumerates the colorings of a graph and of its dual graph. Ardila extended in 2007 the definition of the Tutte polynomial on the real hyperplane arrangements. He particularly computed the Tutte polynomials of the hyperplane arrangements associated to the classical Weyl groups. Those associated to the exceptional Weyl groups were computed by De Concini and Procesi one year later. This paper has two objectives: On the one side, we extend the Tutte polynomial computing to the complex hyperplane arrangements. On the other side, we introduce a wider class of hyperplane arrangements which is that of the symmetric hyperplane arrangements. Computing the Tutte polynomial of a symmetric hyperplane arrangement permits us to deduce the Tutte polynomials of some hyperplane arrangements, particularly of those associated to the imprimitive reflection groups.

Abstract The Tutte polynomials for signed graphs were introduced by Kauffman. In 2012, Fath-Tabar, Gholam-Rezaeı and Ashrafı presented a formula for computing Tutte polynomial of a benzenoid chain. From this point on, we have also calculated the Tutte polynomials of signed graphs of benzenoid chains in this study.

AbstractIn this study, we introduce the relationship between the Tutte polynomials and dichromatic polynomials of (2,n)-torus knots. For this aim, firstly we obtain the signed graph of a (2,n)-torus knot, marked with {+} signs, via the regular diagram of its. Whereupon, we compute the Tutte polynomial for this graph and find a generalization through these calculations. Finally we obtain dichromatic polynomial lying under the unmarked states of the signed graph of the (2,n)-torus knots by the generalization.

The paper presents a novel approach to predict the response of earthquake-excited structures. The earthquake excitation is expanded in terms of series of deterministic functions. The coefficients of the series are represented as a point inN-dimensional space. Each available ccelerogram at a certain site is then represented as a point in the above space, modeling the available fragmentary historical data. The minimum volume ellipsoid, containing all points, is constructed. The ellipsoidal models of uncertainty, pertinent to earthquake excitation, are developed. The maximum response of a structure, subjected to the earthquake excitation, within ellipsoidal modeling of the latter, is determined. This procedure of determining least favorable response was termed in the literature (Elishakoff, 1991) as an antioptimization. It appears that under inherent uncertainty of earthquake excitation, antioptimization analysis is a viable alternative to stochastic approach.

In a recent paper, we studied the interaction between the automorphism group of a graph and its Tutte polynomial. More precisely, we proved that certain symmetries of graphs are clearly reflected by their Tutte polynomials. The purpose of this paper is to extend this study to other graph polynomials. In particular, we prove that if a graph [Formula: see text] has a symmetry of prime order [Formula: see text], then its characteristic polynomial, with coefficients in the finite field [Formula: see text], is determined by the characteristic polynomial of its quotient graph [Formula: see text]. Similar results are also proved for some generalization of the Tutte polynomial.

We introduce a polynomial invariant of graphs on surfaces,PG, generalizing the classical Tutte polynomial. Topological duality on surfaces gives rise to a natural duality result forPG, analogous to the duality for the Tutte polynomial of planar graphs. This property is important from the perspective of statistical mechanics, where the Tutte polynomial is known as the partition function of the Potts model. For ribbon graphs,PGspecializes to the well-known Bollobás–Riordan polynomial, and in fact the two polynomials carry equivalent information in this context. Duality is also established for a multivariate version of the polynomialPG. We then consider a 2-variable version of the Jones polynomial for links in thickened surfaces, taking into account homological information on the surface. An analogue of Thistlethwaite's theorem is established for these generalized Jones and Tutte polynomials for virtual links.
