On digraphs determined by their singular values

Let $D$ be an digraph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A(D)$ and outdegree matrix $\Delta^+=\Delta^+(D)$. Then the Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrices of $D$ are respectively defined as $L(D)=\Delta^+-A(D)$ and $Q(D)=\Delta^++A(D)$. In this paper, we compute singular values and an exact formula for the trace norm of Laplacian matrices of the directed path $\overrightarrow{P_n}$, the directed cycle $\overrightarrow{C_n}$ and all orientations of a star. We show that for a bipartite digraph $D$, the matrices $L(D)$ and $Q(D)$ have same singular values and use this to compute the singular values and trace norm of signless Laplacian matrices. We study the problem of determination of digraphs by their singular values and prove the directed path $\overrightarrow{P_n}$, the directed cycle $\overrightarrow{C_n}$ and oriented star $\overrightarrow{S}_n(n-1,0)$ are determined by their Laplacian and signless Laplacian singular values but are not determined by their adjacency singular values.
