Jun 10, 2015 at 0:55 comment added Sam Hopkins The wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutte_polynomial#Gaussian_elimination) seems to make the rather vague assertion that all evaluations for which the Tutte polynomial is computable in polynomial time are actually determinants or Pfaffians.
Jun 10, 2015 at 0:47 comment added Fedor Petrov @ChrisGodsil I suppose that it may be related. Wiki page on Tutte polynomial lists several cases when it may be computed in polynomial time: hyperbola $(x-1)(y-1)=1$ and several isolated points, journals.cambridge.org/action/… Maybe, these are the points in which some formula appears to be determinantal?
