In this article, we construct explicit examples of pairs of non-isomorphic trees with the same restricted $U$-polynomial for every $k$; by this we mean that the polynomials agree on terms with degree at most $k+1$. The main tool for this construction is a generalization of the $U$-polynomial to rooted graphs, which we introduce and study in this article. Most notably we show that rooted trees can be reconstructed from its rooted $U$-polynomial.

This paper focuses on the well-known problem due to Stanley of whether two non-isomorphic trees can have the same $U$-polynomial (or, equivalently, the same chromatic symmetric function). We consider the $U_k$-polynomial, which is a restricted version of $U$-polynomial, and construct with the help of solutions of the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem, non-isomorphic trees with the same $U_k$-polynomial for any given $k$. By doing so, we also find a new class of trees that are distinguished by the $U$-polynomial up to isomorphism.
Let $T_{n}$ be the set of rooted labeled trees on $set{0,...,n}$. A maximal decreasing subtree of a rooted labeled tree is defined by the maximal subtree from the root with all edges being decreasing. In this paper, we study a new refinement $T_{n,k}$ of $T_n$, which is the set of rooted labeled trees whose maximal decreasing subtree has $k+1$ vertices.
A major problem in knot theory is to decide whether the Jones polynomial detects the unknot. In this paper we study a weaker related problem, namely whether the Jones polynomial reduced modulo an integer $n$ detects the unknot. The answer is known to be negative for $n=2^k$ with $kgeq 1$ and $n=3$. Here we show that if the answer is negative for some $n$, then it is negative for $n^k$ with any $kgeq 1$. In particular, for any $kgeq 1$, we construct nontrivial knots whose Jones polynomial is trivial modulo~$3^k$.
In this paper, we study the characteristic polynomials of the line graphs of generalized Bethe trees. We give an infinite family of such graphs sharing the same smallest eigenvalue. Our family generalizes the family of coronas of complete graphs discovered by Cvetkovic and Stevanovic.
Let G be a combinatorial graph with vertices V and edges E. A proper coloring of G is an assignment of colors to the vertices such that no edge connects two vertices of the same color. These are the colorings considered in the famous Four Color Theorem. It turns out that the number of proper colorings of G using t colors is a polynomial in t, called the chromatic polynomial of G. This polynomial has many wonderful properties. It also has the surprising habit of appearing in contexts which, a priori, have nothing to do with graph coloring. We will survey three such instances involving acyclic orientations, hyperplane arrangements, and increasing forests. In addition, connections to symmetric functions and algebraic geometry will be mentioned.
