Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with eigenvalues $\lambda_1(G)\geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n(G)$. Define \[s^+(G)=\sum_{\lambda_i >0} \lambda_i^2(G), \quad s^-(G)=\sum_{\lambda_i<0} \lambda_i^2(G).\] It was conjectured by Elphick,…

In this correspondence, we introduced the concept of minimum roman dominating distance energy $E_{RDd}(G)$ of a graph $G$ and computed minimum roman dominating distance energy of some standard graphs. Also, we discussed the properties of…

The index of a signed graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. For positive integers $n$ and $m\le n^2/4$, we determine the maximal index of complete signed graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ negative edges. This settles (the…

We show that among all finite groups of any given order, the cyclic group of that order has the maximum number of edges in its power graph. Contains corrections to published version.

For a graph $G$, the generalized adjacency matrix $A_\alpha(G)$ is the convex combination of the diagonal matrix $D(G)$ and the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and is defined as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha) A(G)$ for $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$.…

A spectral characterization of the matching number (the size of a maximum matching) of a graph is given. More precisely, it is shown that the graphs G of order n whose matching number is k are precisely those graphs with the maximum skew…

We prove that, for any graph $G$, its graph energy is at least twice the Randic index. We show that equality holds if and only if $G$ is the union of complete bipartite graphs.

In this article, we determine the maximum Wiener indices of unicyclic graphs with given number of vertices and matching number. We also characterize the extremal graphs. This solves an open problem of Du and Zhou.

Graph representations are the generalization of geometric graph drawings from the plane to higher dimensions. A method introduced by Tutte to optimize properties of graph drawings is to minimize their energy. We explore this minimization…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and $v_{i}\in V$, denote by $d_{v_{i}}$ (or $d_{i}$ for short) the degree of vertex $v_{i}$. The $p$-Sombor matrix $\textbf{S}_{\textbf{p}}(G)$ ($p\neq0$) of a graph $G$ is a square matrix, where the $(i,j)$-entry is…

We study the energy per vertex in regular graphs. For every k, we give an upper bound for the energy per vertex of a k-regular graph, and show that a graph attains the upper bound if and only if it is the disjoint union of incidence graphs…

For a graph $G,$ we denote the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ by $F(G)$. For a tree $T$, $F(T)$ has been studied extensively and it has been observed that $F(T)$ has a reverse correlation with Wiener index of $T$. Based on that, we…

In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) (resp. E(G)) is called the vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of G. In [16] it was shown that both vertex and edge metric…

Let $D$ be a simple digraph with eigenvalues $z_1,z_2,...,z_n$. The energy of $D$ is defined as $E(D)= \sum_{i=1}^n |Re(z_i)|$, is the real part of the eigenvalue $z_i$. In this paper a lower bound will be obtained for the spectral radius…

Let $G_{S}$ be a graph with $n$ vertices obtained from a simple graph $G$ by attaching one self-loop at each vertex in $S \subseteq V(G)$. The energy of $G_{S}$ is defined by Gutman et al. as $E(G_{S})=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left| \lambda_{i}…

In his survey "Beyond graph energy: Norms of graphs and matrices" (2016), Nikiforov proposed two problems concerning characterizing the graphs that attain equality in a lower bound and in a upper bound for the energy of a graph,…

We call an oriented odd cycle alternating if it has exactly one vertex whose in-degree and out-degree are both positive. In this paper, we investigate whether certain graphs admit an orientation that avoids alternating odd cycles as…

The energy of a graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the graph. In this paper, we present a new method to compare the energies of two $k$-subdivision bipartite graphs on some cut edges. As the…

The $G$-graph $\Gamma(G,S)$ is a graph from the group $G$ generated by $S\subseteq G$, where the vertices are the right cosets of the cyclic subgroups $\langle s \rangle, s\in S$ with $k$-edges between two distinct cosets if there is an…
