The spiders are -positive
Davion Q. B. Tang, David G. L. Wang, Monica M. Y. Wang
By using the composition method, we establish the -positivity of spiders of the form , which was conjectured by Aliniaeifard, van Willigenburg and Wang. Foll…

A composition method for neat formulas of chromatic symmetric functions
David G. L. Wang, James Z. F. Zhou
We develop a composition method to unearth positive -expansions of chromatic symmetric functions , where the subscript stands for compositions rather than integer par…

Positive -expansions for KPKP graphs, twinned lollipops, and kayak paddles
Davion Q. B. Tang, David G. L. Wang
We derive explicit positive -expansions for the chromatic symmetric functions of several graph families. First, we obtain a uniform formula for KPKP graphs that specializes to…
