60 Chromatic Polynomial of a Graph A complete bipartite graph G has its vertices broken into two disjoint subsets A and B so that every vertex in A is connected by an edge with every vertex in B. A coloring of a graph with r colors is an assignment that uses all the possible colors so that if vertices v and w are connected by an edge they must have different colors. The chromatic polynomial p G (x) of a graph G is determined by its values on the positive integers: p G (n) = # all colorings of G using n colors
