Generating functions of -chromatic polynomials
Matthias Beck, Benjamin Braun, Alvaro Cornejo
Given a graph and a linear form , Bajo et al. (2025) introduced the -chromatic polynomial w…
A Closer Look at Chapoton's q-Ehrhart Polynomials
Matthias Beck, Thomas Kunze
If is a lattice polytope (i.e., is the convex hull of finitely many integer points in ), Ehrhart's famous theorem (1962) asserts that the…
Polyhedral geometry of refined -Catalan numbers
Matthias Beck, Mitsuki Hanada, Max Hlavacek +3
We study a refinement of the -Catalan numbers introduced by Xin and Zhang (2022, 2023) using tools from polyhedral geometry. These refined -Catalan numbers depend on a ve…
-Chromatic polynomials
Esme Bajo, Matthias Beck, Andrés R. Vindas-Meléndez
We study a -version of the chromatic polynomial of a given graph , namely, \[ χ_G^λ(q,n) \ := \sum_{\substack{\text{proper colorings}\\ c\,:\,V\to[n]}} q^{ \sum_{ v \in…
