Graphical distances & inertia

Combinatorics 2023-04-26 v1

Abstract

We study the inertia of distance matrices of weighted graphs. Our novel congruence-based proof of the inertia of weighted trees extends to a proof for the inertia of weighted unicyclic graphs whose cycle is a triangle. Partial results are given on the inertia of other rationally weighted unicylic graphs.
