Abstract: | |||||||
We consider the computational complexity of evaluating the Tutte polynomial of three particular classes of greedoid, namely rooted graphs, rooted digraphs and binary greedoids. Furthermore we construct polynomial-time algorithms to evaluate the Tutte polynomial of these classes of greedoid when they're of bounded tree-width. We also construct a Möbius function formulation for the characteristic polynomial of a rooted graph and determine the computational complexity of computing the coefficients of the Tutte polynomial of a rooted graph.
