摘要
An algorithm is given for computing the values of the characteristic polynomial of a tree. Its time complexity is linear; hence, the polynomial is readily accessible from the tree and no computation is necessary to get the polynomial ready for applications. If necessary, the coefficients can be determined in time O(n(2)). This improves the complexity O(n(3)), reached by Tinhofer and Schreck, to O(1).
