Polynomial Representation and Degree Sequence of Graphs Resulting from Some Graph Operations

Abstract

Let $G = (V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with degree sequence $\langle d_1,d_2, \cdots, d_n \rangle$, where $d_1 \ge d_2 \ge \cdots \ge d_n$. The polynomial representation of $G$ is given by $f_G(x) = \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n x^{d_i} = \sum_{k=1}^{\Delta(G)}a_kx^{k}$, where $a_k$ is the number of vertices of $G$ having degree $k$ for each $i = 1,2,\cdots n = \Delta(G)$. In this paper, we give the polynomial representation of the complement and line graph of a graph, the shadow graph, complementary prism, edge corona, strong product, symmetric product, and disjunction of two graphs.
