Note on chromatic polynomials of the threshold graphs

Noureddine Chikh, Miloud Mihoubi

Abstract


Let G be a threshold graph. In this paper, we give, in first hand, a formula relating the chromatic polynomial of (the complement of G) to the chromatic polynomial of G. In second hand, we express the chromatic polynomials of G and in terms of the generalized Bell polynomials.


Keywords
