Let be the number of vertex covers of a graph of size . Then the vertex cover polynomial is defined by
(1) |
where is the vertex count of (Dong et al. 2002).
It is related to the independence polynomial by
(2) |
(Akban and Oboudi 2013).
Precomputed vertex cover polynomials for many named graphs in terms of a variable can be obtained in the Wolfram Language using GraphData[graph, "VertexCoverPolynomial"][x].
The following table summarizes closed forms for the vertex cover polynomials of some common classes of graphs (cf. Dong et al. 2002).
