We present the first steps towards the determination of the signed graphs for which the adjacency matrix has all but at most two eigenvalues equal to 1 or -1. Here we deal with the disconnected, the bipartite and the complete signed graphs.…

The positive and negative square energies of a graph, $s^+(G)$ and $s^-(G)$, are the sums of squares of the positive and negative eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix, respectively. The first results on square energies revealed symmetry…

Let $S$ be a set of transpositions generating the symmetric group $S_n$. The transposition graph of $S$ is defined to be the graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, and with vertices $i$ and $j$ being adjacent in $T(S)$ whenever $(i,j) \in…

We investigate the sparsity of null vectors of real symmetric matrices whose off-diagonal pattern of zero and nonzero entries is described by the adjacencies of a graph. We use the definition of the spark of a matrix, the smallest number of…

New criteria for which Cayley graphs of cyclic groups of any order can be completely determined--up to isomorphism--by the eigenvalues of their adjacency matrices is presented. Secondly, a new construction for pairs of nonisomorphic Cayley…

Let $G$ be a simple, connected graph and let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. If $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of $G$, then for every real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ is defined as…

Data processing systems impose multiple views on data as it is processed by the system. These views include spreadsheets, databases, matrices, and graphs. Associative arrays unify and simplify these different approaches into a common…

In a graph A, for each two arbitrary vertices g, h with d(g,h)=2,|MAg2h|=mAg2h is introduced the number of edges of A that are closer to g than to h. We say A is a 2-edge distance-balanced graph if we have mAg2h=mAh2g. In this article, we…

For a simple graph $G$, the $2$-distance graph, $D_2(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in the graph $G$. In this paper, for graphs $G$ with diameter 2, we show that…

For a ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph is a simple graph $\Gamma(R)$ whose vertex set is the set of all non-zero zero-divisors in a ring $R$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=0$ or $yx=0$ in $R$. By…

In this paper, we describe the entire structure of the vector space $Sym_2^0$ of all symmetric matrices of size $2$ having trace zero. This is motivated by the geometrical interpretation of any arbitrary element of $Sym_2^0$. We further…

Graph construction, a fundamental operation in a data processing pipeline, is typically done by multiplying the incidence array representations of a graph, $\mathbf{E}_\mathrm{in}$ and $\mathbf{E}_\mathrm{out}$, to produce an adjacency…

Let $G$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and let $S(G)$ be the set of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices whose nonzero off-diagonal entries occur in exactly the positions corresponding to the edges of $G$. The inverse eigenvalue…

Let $n \geq 4$ be an even integer and $W_n$ be the wheel graph with $n$ vertices. The distance $d_{ij}$ between any two distinct vertices $i$ and $j$ of $W_n$ is the length of the shortest path connecting $i$ and $j$. Let $D$ be the $n…

A hollow matrix described by a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix having all diagonal entries equal to zero and with the off-diagonal entries governed by the adjacencies in $G$. For a given graph $G$, the determination of all possible…

In this paper, all graphs whose adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) different from $2$ and $-1$ are determined. These graphs conclude a class of generalized friendship graphs $F_{t,r,k}, $ which is the…

We obtain using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of triple persymmetric matrices over F_2 of given rank. (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)

This note describes necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a connected simple graph. Conditions are also given under which a sequence is necessarily connected i.e. the sequence…

A continuous-time quantum walk is modelled using a graph. In this short paper, we provide lower bounds on the size of a graph that would allow for some quantum phenomena to occur. Among other things, we show that, in the adjacency matrix…

If a graph has a non-singular adjacency matrix, then one may use the inverse matrix to define a (labeled) graph that may be considered to be the inverse graph to the original one. It has been known that an adjacency matrix of a tree is…
