Tutte polynomials and a stronger version of the Akiyama-Harary problem

Can a non self-complementary graph have the same chromatic polynomial as its complement? The answer to this question of Akiyama and Harrary is positive and was given by J. Xu and Z. Liu. They conjectured that every such graph has the same degree sequence as its complement. In this paper we show that there are infinitely many graphs for which this conjecture does not hold. We then solve a more general variant of the Akiyama-Harary problem by showing that there exists infinitely many non self-complementary graphs having the same Tutte polynomial as their complements.
