The aim of this paper is to show that any finite undirected bipartite graph can be considered as a polynomial [Formula: see text], and any directed finite bipartite graph can be considered as a polynomial [Formula: see text], and vise verse. We also show that the multiplication in the semirings [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] corresponds to an operation of the corresponding graphs. This operation is exactly the product of Petri nets in the sense of Winskel [G. Winskel and M. Nielsen, Models of concurrency, in Handbook of Logic in Computer Science, Vol. 4, eds. Abamsky, Gabbay and Maibaum (Oxford University Press, 1995), pp. 1–148]. As an application, we give an approach to dividing in the semirings [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and a criteria for parallalization of Petri nets. Finally, we endow the set of all bipartite graphs with the Zariski topology.
