Recursion Relations for Chromatic Coefficients for Graphs and Hypergraphs

We establish a set of recursion relations for the coefficients in the chromatic polynomial of a graph or a hypergraph. As an application we provide a generalization of Whitney’s broken cycle theorem for hypergraphs, as well as deriving an explicit formula for the linear coefficient of the chromatic...
