The mean value of the matching polynomial is computed in the family of all labeled graphs with n vertices. We introduce the dominating polynomial of a graph whose coefficients enumerate the dominating sets for a graph and study some properties of the polynomial. The mean value of this polynomial is determined in a certain special family of bipartite digraphs.
In this paper, we construct infinite families of tight regular tournaments. In particular, we prove that two classes of regular tournaments, tame molds and ample tournaments are tight. We exhibit an infinite family of 3-dichromatic tight tournaments. With this family we positively answer to one case of a conjecture posed by V. Neumann-Lara. Finally, we show that any tournament with a tight mold is also tight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
