Proof of a Brown-Mol conjecture on subtree roots

Xian'an Jin, Tianlong Ma, Yi Wang

The subtree polynomial of a tree is the generating function that enumerates its subtrees according to their orders. Brown and Mol conjectured that every subtree root of a tree of o…

Connectivity for slice-projections of connected polymatroids

Xiaxia Guan, Xian'an Jin

It is well-known that deleting or contracting any element of a connected matroid always yields at least one connected minor. However, for a connected polymatroid, only two such ele…

Combinatorial interpretations of Tutte polynomials at the point

Yu Chen, Xian'an Jin, Tianlong Ma

Let be a simple connected graph, and let be the Tutte polynomial of . Motivated by the works in \cite{Ma}, we, in this paper, introduce the even-left spanning f…

A recursive definition for the polymatroid Tutte polynomial

Xiaxia Guan, Xian'an Jin, Weiling Yang

The Tutte polynomial is a significant invariant of graphs and matroids. It is well-known that it has three equivalent definitions: bases expansion, rank generating function, and de…

On the coefficients of interior and exterior polynomials of polymatroids

Xiaxia Guan, Xian'an Jin, Tianlong Ma +1

The Tutte polynomial is an important invariant of graphs and matroids. Chen and Guo \emph{[Adv. in Appl. Math. 166 (2025) 102868.]} proved that for a -edge connected graph $…

On the maximum local mean order of sub-k-trees of a k-tree

Zhuo Li, Tianlong Ma, Fengming Dong +1

For a k-tree T, a generalization of a tree, the local mean order of sub-k-trees of T is the average order of sub-k-trees of T containing a given k-clique. The problem whether the l…
