We give a new inequality between the energy of a graph and a weighted sum over the edges of the graph. Using this inequality we prove that $\mathcal{E}(G)\geq 2R(H)$, where $ \mathcal{E}(G)$ is the energy of a graph $G$ and $R(H)$ is the…

The energy of a vertex $v_i$ in a graph $G$ is defined as $\mathcal{E}_G(v_i) = |A|_{ii}$, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$, $A^*$ denotes the conjugate transpose of $A$, and $|A| = (AA^*)^{1/2}$. The total energy of the graph,…

The \emph{choice number} of a graph $G$, denoted $\ch(G)$, is the minimum integer $k$ such that for any assignment of lists of size $k$ to the vertices of $G$, there is a proper colouring of $G$ such that every vertex is mapped to a colour…

The energy of a graph is the sum of the moduli of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs, which can be characterized by their vertex count $n$ and a set $\cal D$ of…
