- """Provides algorithms supporting the computation of graph polynomials.
- Graph polynomials are polynomial-valued graph invariants that encode a wide
- variety of structural information. Examples include the Tutte polynomial,
- chromatic polynomial, characteristic polynomial, and matching polynomial. An
- extensive treatment is provided in [1]_.
- For a simple example, the `~sympy.matrices.matrices.MatrixDeterminant.charpoly`
- method can be used to compute the characteristic polynomial from the adjacency
- matrix of a graph. Consider the complete graph ``K_4``:
- >>> import sympy
- >>> x = sympy.Symbol("x")
- >>> G = nx.complete_graph(4)
- >>> A = nx.adjacency_matrix(G)
- >>> M = sympy.SparseMatrix(A.todense())
- >>> M.charpoly(x).as_expr()

- def tutte_polynomial(G):
- r"""Returns the Tutte polynomial of `G`
- This function computes the Tutte polynomial via an iterative version of
- the deletion-contraction algorithm.
- The Tutte polynomial `T_G(x, y)` is a fundamental graph polynomial invariant in
- two variables. It encodes a wide array of information related to the
- edge-connectivity of a graph; "Many problems about graphs can be reduced to
- problems of finding and evaluating the Tutte polynomial at certain values" [1]_.
- In fact, every deletion-contraction-expressible feature of a graph is a
- specialization of the Tutte polynomial [2]_ (see Notes for examples).
- There are several equivalent definitions; here are three:
- Def 1 (rank-nullity expansion): For `G` an undirected graph, `n(G)` the
- number of vertices of `G`, `E` the edge set of `G`, `V` the vertex set of
- `G`, and `c(A)` the number of connected components of the graph with vertex
- set `V` and edge set `A` [3]_:
- .. math::
- T_G(x, y) = \sum_{A \in E} (x-1)^{c(A) - c(E)} (y-1)^{c(A) + |A| - n(G)}
- Def 2 (spanning tree expansion): Let `G` be an undirected graph, `T` a spanning
- tree of `G`, and `E` the edge set of `G`. Let `E` have an arbitrary strict
- linear order `L`. Let `B_e` be the unique minimal nonempty edge cut of
- $E \setminus T \cup {e}$. An edge `e` is internally active with respect to
- `T` and `L` if `e` is the least edge in `B_e` according to the linear order
- `L`. The internal activity of `T` (denoted `i(T)`) is the number of edges
- in $E \setminus T$ that are internally active with respect to `T` and `L`.
- Let `P_e` be the unique path in $T \cup {e}$ whose source and target vertex
- are the same. An edge `e` is externally active with respect to `T` and `L`
- if `e` is the least edge in `P_e` according to the linear order `L`. The
- external activity of `T` (denoted `e(T)`) is the number of edges in
- $E \setminus T$ that are externally active with respect to `T` and `L`.
- Then [4]_ [5]_:
- .. math::
- T_G(x, y) = \sum_{T \text{ a spanning tree of } G} x^{i(T)} y^{e(T)}
- Def 3 (deletion-contraction recurrence): For `G` an undirected graph, `G-e`
- the graph obtained from `G` by deleting edge `e`, `G/e` the graph obtained
- from `G` by contracting edge `e`, `k(G)` the number of cut-edges of `G`,
- and `l(G)` the number of self-loops of `G`:
- .. math::
- T_G(x, y) = \begin{cases}
- x^{k(G)} y^{l(G)}, & \text{if all edges are cut-edges or self-loops} \\
- T_{G-e}(x, y) + T_{G/e}(x, y), & \text{otherwise, for an arbitrary edge $e$ not a cut-edge or loop}
- \end{cases}
- Parameters
- ----------
- G : NetworkX graph
- Returns
- -------
- instance of `sympy.core.add.Add`
- A Sympy expression representing the Tutte polynomial for `G`.
- Examples
- --------
- >>> C = nx.cycle_graph(5)
- >>> nx.tutte_polynomial(C)
- x**4 + x**3 + x**2 + x + y
- >>> D = nx.diamond_graph()
- >>> nx.tutte_polynomial(D)
- x**3 + 2*x**2 + 2*x*y + x + y**2 + y
- Notes
- -----
- Some specializations of the Tutte polynomial:
- - `T_G(1, 1)` counts the number of spanning trees of `G`
- - `T_G(1, 2)` counts the number of connected spanning subgraphs of `G`
- - `T_G(2, 1)` counts the number of spanning forests in `G`
- - `T_G(0, 2)` counts the number of strong orientations of `G`
- - `T_G(2, 0)` counts the number of acyclic orientations of `G`
- Edge contraction is defined and deletion-contraction is introduced in [6]_.
- Combinatorial meaning of the coefficients is introduced in [7]_.
- Universality, properties, and applications are discussed in [8]_.
- Practically, up-front computation of the Tutte polynomial may be useful when
- users wish to repeatedly calculate edge-connectivity-related information
- about one or more graphs.

- Interpretation of the coefficients is discussed in [5]_. Several special

- The chromatic polynomial is a specialization of the Tutte polynomial; in
- particular, `X_G(x) = `T_G(x, 0)` [6]_.
- The chromatic polynomial may take negative arguments, though evaluations
- may not have chromatic interpretations. For instance, `X_G(-1)` enumerates
- the acyclic orientations of `G` [7]_.
