We created Mathematica package for computing HA31, (v−1)(m−1)−(m−2)(n−1)/2(G) and Tor HAm1, (v−1)(m−1)−(m−2)(n−1)/2(G) for an arbitrary simple graph with v vertices, any n ³ 3 and algebras of truncated polynomials Am. Obtained results motivated following conjectures:

Conjecture 1. For all simple graphs G and G1: G Ì G1 Þ HA31, 2v(G)−3(G) Ì HA31, 2v(G1)−3(G1).

We verified this for the complete lattice of all non-isomorphic subgraphs of K5.

Conjecture 2. For any complete graph with n vertices Kn, n > 3 the following is true: H1, 2n−3A3(Kn) = Z3n−1 ÅZ2 ÅZn(n−1)(2n−7)/6.

We verified this for n £ 20 and for K20 indeed we get: H1, 37A3 = Z319 ÅZ2 ÅZ2090.

Moreover, we will present a few interesting observations:

1. Computations suggest that if K4 Ì G then Z2 Ì HA31, 2v−3 (G). Similarly, if K5 Ì G then Z2 ÅZ34 Ì HA31, 2v−3(G).

2. The only example (so far) of Z4 torsion appears in Tor(HA51, 14(K6)) = Z540 ÅZ226 ÅZ4.
