Abstract

The concept of energy of a signed digraph is extended to iota energy of a signed digraph. The energy of a signed digraph SS is defined by E(S)=k=1nRe(zk)E(S)=\sum_{k=1}^n|\text{Re}(z_k)|, where Re(zk)\text{Re}(z_k) is the real part of eigenvalue zkz_k and zkz_k is the eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of SS with nn vertices, k=1,2,,nk=1,2,\ldots,n. Then the iota energy of SS is defined by E(S)=k=1nIm(zk)E(S)=\sum_{k=1}^n|\text{Im}(z_k)|, where Im(zk)\text{Im}(z_k) is the imaginary part of eigenvalue zkz_k. In this paper, we consider a special graph class for bicyclic signed digraphs Sn\mathcal{S}_n with nn vertices which have two vertex-disjoint signed directed even cycles. We give two iota energy orderings of bicyclic signed digraphs, one is including two positive or two negative directed even cycles, the other is including one positive and one negative directed even cycles.
