摘要
For any integer k >= 0, let xi(k) be the supremum in (1,2] such that the flow polynomial F(G,lambda) has no real roots in (1, xi(k)) for all graphs G with at most k vertices of degrees larger than 3. We prove that xi(k) can be determined by considering a finite set of graphs and show that xi(k) = 2 for k <= 2, xi(3) = 1.430 ... , xi(4) = 1.361 ... and xi(5) = 1.317 ... . (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
