Koreni polinoma kock medianskih grafov

Polinom kock ▫$c(G,X)$▫ grafa ▫$G$▫ je definiran z ▫$sum_{i ge 0}alpha_i(G)x^i$▫, kjer ▫$alpha_i(G)$▫ označuje število induciranih ▫$i$▫-kock v ▫$G$▫. Naj bo ▫$G$▫ medianski graf. Dokazano je, da je vsaka racionalna ničla polinoma ▫$c(G,x)$▫ oblike ▫$-frac{t+1}{t}$▫ za neko celo število ▫$t>0$▫ in da ima ▫$c(G,x)$▫ vedno realno ničlo na intervalu ▫$[-2,-1)$▫. Nadalje ima ▫$c(G,x)$▫ ▫$p$▫-kratno ničlo natanko tedaj, ko je ▫$G$▫ kartezični produkt ▫$p$▫ dreves istega reda. Grafi acikličnih kubičnih kompleksov so karakterizirani kot grafi za katere velja ▫$c(H,-2)=0$▫ za vsak 2-povezan konveksen podgraf ▫$H$▫.The cube polynomial ▫$c(G,X)$▫ of a graph ▫$G$▫ is defined as ▫$sum_{i ge 0}alpha_i(G)x^i$▫, where ▫$alpha_i(G)$▫ denotes the number of induced ▫$i$▫-cubes of ▫$G$▫, in particular, ▫$alpha_0(G) = |V(G)|$▫ and ▫$alpha_1(G) = |E(G)|$▫. Let ▫$G$▫ be a median graph. It is proved that every rational zero of ▫$c(G,x)$▫ is of the form ▫$-frac{t+1}{t}$▫ for some integer ▫$t>0$▫ and that ▫$c(G,x)$▫ always has a real zero in the interval ▫$[-2,-1)$▫. Moreover, ▫$c(G,x)$▫ has a ▫$p$▫-multiple zero if and only if ▫$G$▫ is the cartesian product of ▫$p$▫ trees all of the same order. Graphs of acyclic cubical complexes are characterized as the graphs ▫$G$▫ for which ▫$c(H,-2)=0$▫ holds for every 2-connected convex subgraph ▫$H$▫ of ▫$G$▫. Median graphs that are Cartesian products are also characterized
