The complexity of approximating the matching polynomial in the complex plane

We study the problem of approximating the value of the matching polynomial on graphs with edge parameter γ, where γ takes arbitrary values in the complex plane. When γ is a positive real, Jerrum and Sinclair showed that the problem admits an FPRAS on general graphs. For general complex values of γ,...
