Abstract
A well-known open problem in graph theory asks whether Stanley’s chromatic symmetric function, a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph, distinguishes between any two nonisomorphic trees. Previous work has proven the conjecture for a class of trees called spiders. This paper generalizes the class of spiders to -spiders, where normal spiders correspond to , and verifies the conjecture for .
