Real-rooted flow polynomials have only integral roots
Meiqiao Zhang, Fengming Dong
Let be a connected bridgeless graph. In 2011, Kung and Royle showed that all roots of the flow polynomial of are integers if and only if is the dual of a chord…

Non-persistence of equality between chromatic polynomials and list-color functions
Meiqiao Zhang, Fengming Dong
For any graph , let and denote the chromatic polynomial and the list-color function of , respectively. It remains an open problem whether, for every…

A study on -equivalent graphs
Fengming Dong, Meiqiao Zhang
In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B 16 (1974), 168-174], Tutte called two graphs -equivalent (i.e., codichromatic) if they have the same Tutte polynomial and showed that grap…
