Tutte Matrix


If the Tutte polynomial T(x,y) of a graph G is given by sumt_(rs)x^ry^s, then the matrix (t_(rs)) is called the rank matrix of G.

For example, the Tutte matrix of the Petersen graph is given by

 [0 36 84 75 35 9 1; 36 168 171 65 10  ; 120 240 105 15   ; 180 170 30    ; 170 70     ; 114 12     ; 56      ; 21      ; 6      ; 1      ]

(Biggs 1973; 1993, p. 103).
