A matroid is T-unique if it is determined up to isomorphism by its Tutte polynomial. Known T-unique matroids include projective and affine geometries of rank at least four, wheels, whirls, free and binary spikes, and certain ...

Let c(n) be the maximum number of cycles in an outerplanar graph with n vertices. We show that lim $c(n)^{1/n}$ exists and equals β = 1.502837 . . ., where β is a constant related to the recurrence $x_n+1$=1+$x^2_n$, ...

This paper focuses on the well-known problem due to Stanley of whether two non-isomorphic trees can have the same U-polynomial (or, equivalently, the same chromatic symmetric function). We consider the Uk-polynomial, which ...

We define k-chordal matroids as a generalization of chordal matroids, and develop tools for proving that some k-chordal matroids are T-unique, that is, determined up to isomorphism by their Tutte polynomials. We apply this ...

A clutter is a family of mutually incomparable sets. The set of circuits of a matroid, its set of bases, and its set of hyperplanes are examples of clutters arising from matroids. In this paper we address the question of ...

This chapter considers graphs or matroids that have the same Tutte polynomial, as well as graphs or matroids that, up to isomorphism, are distinguished from all others by their Tutte polynomial. We call the former Tutte ...
