Title
Fast Exponential-Time Algorithms For The Forest Counting And The Tutte Polynomial Computation In Graph Classes
Abstract
We prove #P-completeness for counting the number of forests in regular graphs and chordal graphs. We also present algorithms for this problem, running in O*(1.8494(m)) time for 3-regular graphs, and O*(1.9706(m)) time for unit interval graphs, where m is the number of edges in the graph and O*-notation ignores a polynomial factor. The algorithms can be generalized to the Tutte polynomial computation.
