New polynomial-based molecular descriptors with low degeneracy.

In this paper, we introduce a novel graph polynomial called the 'information polynomial' of a graph. This graph polynomial can be derived by using a probability distribution of the vertex set. By using the zeros of the obtained polynomial, we additionally define some novel spectral descrip...
