Chromatic, flow and reliability polynomials: The complexity of their coefficients
- Abstract:
-
We study the complexity of computing the coefficients of three classical polynomials, namely the chromatic, flow and reliability polynomials of a graph. Each of these is a specialization of the Tutte polynomial ∑tijxiyj. It is shown that, unless NP = RP, many of the relevant coefficients do not even have good randomized approximation schemes. We consider the quasi-order induced by approximation reducibility and highlight the pivotal position of the coefficient t10 = t01, otherwise known as th...
