Linear time algorithm to check the singularity of block graphs

Data Structures and Algorithms 2018-11-21 v2

Abstract

A block graph is a graph in which every block is a complete graph. Let GG be a block graph and let A(G)A(G) be its (0,1)-adjacency matrix. Graph GG is called nonsingular (singular) if A(G)A(G) is nonsingular (singular). Characterizing nonsingular block graphs is an interesting open problem proposed by Bapat and Roy in 2013. In this article, we give a linear time algorithm to check whether a given block graph is singular or not.
