Weakly distinguishing graph polynomials on addable properties

Johann A. Makowsky and Vsevolod Rakita

Vol. 9 (2020), No. 3, 333–349
Abstract

A graph polynomial P is weakly distinguishing if for almost all finite graphs G there is a finite graph H that is not isomorphic to G with P(G) = P(H). It is weakly distinguishing on a graph property 𝒞 if for almost all finite graphs G 𝒞 there is H 𝒞 that is not isomorphic to G with P(G) = P(H). We give sufficient conditions on a graph property 𝒞 for the characteristic, clique, independence, matching, and domination and ξ polynomials, as well as the Tutte polynomial and its specializations, to be weakly distinguishing on 𝒞. One such condition is to be addable and small in the sense of C. McDiarmid, A. Steger and D. Welsh (2005). Another one is to be of genus at most k.
