    Abstract

    We consider the complexity of the two-variable rank generating function, $S$, of a graphic 2-polymatroid. For a graph $G$, $S$ is the generating function for the number of subsets of edges of $G$ having a particular size and incident with a particular number of vertices of $G$. We show that for any $x, y \in \mathbb{Q}$ with $xy \not =1$, it is #P-hard to evaluate $S$ at $(x,y)$. We also consider the $k$-thickening of a graph and computing $S$ for the $k$-thickening of a graph.
