AI总结:

本文证明了Shteiner和Shteyner的两个猜想:无向图G的生成子图产生的度序列数量至少等于G中森林的数量,等号成立当且仅当G是二部图。

摘要:

我们证明了Shteiner和Shteyner的两个猜想,即对于无向图$G=(V,E)$,其生成子图产生的度序列数量至少等于$G$中森林的数量,等号成立当且仅当$G$是二部图。在证明二部图情况的过程中,我们给出了Tutte多项式$T_G(x,y)$在$(2,1)$处的若干等价求值,包括从$G$的定向获得的度向量的解释。对于非二部图情况,我们通过将度序列表示为无符号关联向量的子集和,并将其与线性无关的边集进行比较,证明了严格不等式,表明奇圈的存在产生了森林之外的额外独立集。我们进一步通过引入奇伪森林来加强这一结果,证明了奇伪森林的数量受度序列数量的上界限制,并相应地刻画了对应的独立集。

英文摘要:

We prove two conjectures of Shteiner and Shteyner stating that for an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, the number of degree sequences arising from its spanning subgraphs is at least the number of forests in $G$, with equality if and only if $G$ is bipartite. In the process of proving the bipartite case, we provide several equivalent evaluations of the Tutte polynomial $T_G(x,y)$ at $(2,1)$, including interpretations in terms of degree vectors obtained from orientations of $G$. For the non-bipartite case, we prove strict inequality by expressing degree sequences as subset sums of signless incidence vectors and comparing these with linearly independent edge sets, showing that the presence of odd cycles yields additional independent sets beyond forests. We further strengthen this result by introducing odd pseudoforests, showing that their number is bounded above by the number of degree sequences and characterizing the corresponding independent sets accordingly.
