Las Vergnas's second Tutte polynomial conjecture for binary matroids
Las Vergnas's second Tutte polynomial conjecture for binary matroids
Let be a binary matroid, let denote its Tutte polynomial, and let be an integer. Las Vergnas's second conjecture. The value
is an odd integer for every binary matroid and every integer . This conjecture is the second of three conjectures made by Michel Las Vergnas concerning evaluations of the Tutte polynomial of binary matroids; it is stronger than the first conjecture and weaker than the third. The first conjecture was proved, while the third was disproved; this second conjecture is presented here as the subject of counterexamples.
