On the rooted Tutte polynomial
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 49 (1999) no. 3, pp. 1103-1114.

The Tutte polynomial is a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of graph colorings. Here we present an extension called the rooted Tutte polynomial, which is defined on a graph where one or more vertices are colored with prescribed colors. We establish a number of results pertaining to the rooted Tutte polynomial, including a duality relation in the case that all roots reside around a single face of a planar graph.

Le polynôme de Tutte constitue une généralisation du polynôme chromatique introduit en théorie des graphes. Nous présentons ici une extension appelée “polynôme de Tutte à points marqués”, qui est défini sur un graphe où un ou plusieurs sommets sont colorés à l’aide d’une couleur fixée. Nous obtenons un certain nombre de résultats sur ces polynômes de Tutte à points marqués, en particulier nous établissons une relation de dualité dans le cas où tous les sommets colorés sont localisés autour d’une seule face d’un réseau planaire.
