Several unique advantages of the Le Verrier-Fadeev-Frame method for the characteristic polynomials of graphs over the method proposed by Zivkovic recently based on the Givens-Householder method are described. It is shown that the Givens-Householder method proposed by Zivkovic, by itself fails for di

## Abstract The evaluation of the characteristic polynomial of a chemical graph is considered. It is shown that the operation count of the Le VerrierβFaddeevβFrame method, which is presently considered to be the most efficient method for the calculation of the characteristic polynomial, is of the o
In this short paper, we present a solution to Gutman's problem on the characteristic polynomial of a bipartite graph (Research Problem 134, Discrete Math. 88 (1991)). In [2] I. Gutman proposed a research problem which is stated as follows. The matchings polynomial of a graph G is defined by cl(G,x)
The Wiener index is a graphical invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. We define a generating function, which we call the Wiener polynomial, whose derivative is a q-analog of the Wiener index. We study some of the elementary properties of this polynomial and compute it for some
Computational algorithms are described which provide for constructing the set of associated edgeweighted directed graphs such that the average of the characteristic polynomials of the edge-weighted graphs gives the matching polynomial of the parent graph. The weights were chosen to be unities or pur
