报告摘要

Whitney's broken cycle theorem gives a very nice `cancellation' to reduce some terms in the chromatic polynomial (represented in the form of inclusion-exclusion) such that the remaining terms cannot be cancellated out anymore and therefore, yield a combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients of the chromatic polynomial. So far, the known cancellations for the inclusion-exclusion formula strongly depend on the prescribed (linear or partial) ordering on the index set. We give a new cancellation method, which does not require any ordering on the index set. Our method extends all the“ordering-based”methods known in the literature and in general reduces more terms. As examples, we apply our method to some classic graph polynomials.
