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

The matching polynomial of a graph has coefficients that give the number ofmatchings in the graph. For a regular graph, we show it is possible to recover the order, degree, girth and number of minimal cycles from the matching polynomial. If a graph is characterized by its matching polynomial, then i
A relation between the group and the circuit group of a graph is given.
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
