Automatic Generation of Generating Functions for Chromatic Polynomials for Grid Graphs (and more general creatures) of Fixed (but arbitrary!) Width

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

This short article, dedicated to our beloved guru Philippe FLAJOLET (1948-2011), is a case-study in computer-generated combinatorial research, where the computer, all by itself, is using the transfer-matrix method to derive (rigorously!) rational generating functions for chromatic polynomials for infinite sequences of graphs generalizing the action of taking the Cartesian product with a path of length n, n=1,2,... .
