Abstract
In this paper, we prove bounds for the unique, positive zero of OG ★(z):=1−OG(z), where OG(z) is the so-called orbit polynomial [1]. The orbit polynomial is based on the multiplicity and cardinalities of the vertex orbits of a graph. In [1], we have shown that the unique, positive zero δ ≤ 1 of OG ★(z) can serve as a meaningful measure of graph symmetry. In this paper, we study special graph classes with a specified number of orbits and obtain bounds on the value of δ.
