Abstract

The notion of the k-distance shadow set, defined as the collection of vertices exactly k steps away from a given subset is the central idea to this study. For each fixed k, a partial shadow polynomial is formulated by summing over all shadow sets, and their collective sum yields the distance-based shadow polynomial. The paper establishes foundational properties of this polynomial and investigates its behavior under the join operation of two graphs. The construction captures how both neighborhood-level interactions and broader graph connectivity contribute to layered distance dynamics.
