In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B16 (1974), 168–174], Tutte called two graphs T-equivalent (i.e., codichromatic) if they have the same Tutte polynomial and showed that graphs G and are T-equivalent if is obtained from G by flipping a rotor (i.e., replacing it by its mirror) of order at most 5, where a rotor of order k in G is an induced subgraph R having an automorphism ψ with a vertex orbit of size k such that every vertex of R is only adjacent to vertices in R unless it is in this vertex orbit. In this article, we show the above result due to Tutte can be extended to a rotor R of order if the subgraph of G induced by all those edges of G which are not in R satisfies certain conditions. Also, we provide a new method for generating infinitely many non-isomorphic T-equivalent pairs of graphs.

Double cosets appear in many contexts in combinatorics, for example in the enumeration of certain objects up to symmetries. Double cosets in a quotient of the form have an inverse, and can be their own inverse. In this paper we present various formulas enumerating double cosets, and in particular self-inverse double cosets. We study double cosets in classical groups, especially the symmetric groups and the general linear groups, explaining how to obtain the information on their conjugacy classes required to apply our formulas. We also consider double cosets of parabolic subgroups of Coxeter groups of type B.

If and are circuits in a matroid M with in and e in , then M has a circuit such that . This strong circuit elimination axiom is inherently asymmetric. A matroid M has the symmetric strong circuit elimination property (SSCE) if, when the above conditions hold and , there is a circuit with . We prove that a connected matroid has this property if and only if it has no two skew circuits. We also characterize such matroids in terms of forbidden series minors, and we give a new matroid axiom system that is built around a modification of SSCE.

Let m be a positive integer. Brualdi and Hoffman proposed the problem to determine the (connected) graphs with maximum adjacency spectral radius in a given graph class and they posed a conjecture for the class of graphs with given size m. After partial results due to Friedland and Stanley, Rowlinson completely confirmed the conjecture. The distance spectral radius of a connected graph is the largest eigenvalue of its distance matrix. We investigate the problem to determine the connected graphs with minimum distance spectral radius in the class of graphs with size m. Given m, there is exactly one positive integer n such that . We establish some structural properties of the extremal graphs for all m and solve the problem for . We give a conjecture for the remaining case. To prove the main results, we also determine the complements of forests of fixed order with large and small distance spectral radius.

More precisely, for , suppose that are the left-to-right minima of π with and , then π is d-separated if for each j, . In this paper we study different enumerative properties on d-separated permutations. We first give a recurrence formula of the numbers of d-separated permutations in with exactly k left-to-right minima. Then we study the inversion and co-inversion polynomials of d-separated permutations, and give q-analogue and -analogue of for any d.

This paper presents a symbolic computation method for automatically transforming q-hypergeometric identities to q-binomial identities. Through this method, many previously proven q-binomial identities, including q-Saalschütz's formula and q-Suranyi's formula, are re-fund, and numerous new ones are discovered. Moreover, the generation of the identities is accompanied by the corresponding proofs. During the transformation process, different ranges of variable values and various combinations of q-Pochhammer symbols yield different identities. The algorithm maps variable constraints to positive elements in an ordered vector space and employs a backtracking method to provide the feasible variable constraints and q-binomial coefficient combinations for each step.
