- reciprocally In a reciprocal ratio or proportion; inversely. Thus, in bodies of the same weight the density is reciprocally as the magnitude—that is, the greater the magnitude the less in the same proportion the density, and the less the magnitude the greater in the same proportion the density. In geometry two magnitudes are said to be reciprocally proportional to two others when one of the first pair is to one of the second as the remaining one of the second is to the remaining one of the first.

When G is bipartite, the reciprocal polynomial RG (x) is defined by RG (z) = zn/2χG (√z + 1/√z ) .
Salem numbers, Pisot numbers, Mahler measure and graphs
We can construct its reciprocal polynomial, RG , and τ = τ (G) is a root of this.

Were λ (respectively λ2 ) to be a rational integer—cases excluded in the definition—then these would be the only roots of mτ , and τ would be a reciprocal quadratic Pisot number.
Salem numbers, Pisot numbers, Mahler measure and graphs
Throughout this section, reciprocal polynomials will be written as functions of a variable z , and we conveniently treat the bipartite and nonbipartite cases together by writing y = √z if the graph is bipartite, and y = z otherwise.
