In this article, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of degree $n$ to have exactly $n$ real roots. A complete study of polynomials of degree five is carried out. The results are compared with those obtained using Sturm sequences.
In the present study, we establish the existence of nontrivial site percolation threshold in the Relative Neighborhood Graph (RNG) for Poisson stationary point process with unit intensity in the plane.
This paper deals with the location of the complex zeros of the Tutte polynomial for a class of self-dual graphs. For this class of graphs, as the form of the eigenvalues is known, the regions of the complex plane can be focused on the sets where there is only one dominant eigenvalue in particular containing the positive half plane. Thus, in these regions, the analyticity of the pressure can be derived easily. Next, some examples of graphs with their Tutte polynomial having a few number of eigenvalues are given. The cases of the strip of triangles with a double edge, the wheel and the cycle with an edge having a high order of multiplicity are presented. In particular, for this last example, we remark that the well known conjecture of Chen et al. is false in the finite case.
The Tutte polynomial is a powerfull analytic tool to study the structure of planar graphs. In this paper, we establish some relations between the number of clusters per bond for planar graph and its dual : these relations bring into play the coordination number of the graphs. The factorial moment measure of the number of clusters per bond are given using the derivative of the Tutte polynomial. Examples are presented for simple planar graph. The cases of square, triangular, honeycomb, Archimedean and Laves lattices are discussed.
