A signed graph is a graph in which each edge is labeled with $+1$ or $-1$. A (proper) vertex coloring of a signed graph is a mapping $\f$ that assigns to each vertex $v\in V(G)$ a color $\f(v)\in \mz$ such that every edge $vw$ of $G$…
Let \Gamma be a signed graph and let A(\Gamma) be the adjacency matrix of \Gamma. The nullity of \Gamma is the multiplicity of eigenvalue zero in the spectrum of A(\Gamma). In this paper we characterize the signed graphs of order n with…
Signed graphs are an emergent way of representing data in a variety of contexts where antagonistic interactions exist. These include data from biological, ecological, and social systems. Here we propose the concept of communicability for…
Let $\mathcal{C}_{k}^{-}$ be the set of all negative $C_k$. For odd cycle, Wang, Hou and Li [29] gave a spectral condition for the existence of negative $C_3$ in unbalanced signed graphs. For even cycle, we determine the maximum index among…
A gain graph is a triple (G,h,H), where G is a connected graph with an arbitrary, but fixed, orientation of edges, H is a group, and h is a homomorphism from the free group on the edges of G to H. A gain graph is called balanced if the…
A signed graph $G$ is a graph where each edge is assigned a + (positive edge) or a - (negative edge). The signed degree of a vertex $v$ in a signed graph, denoted by $sdeg(v)$, is the number of positive edges incident to $v$ subtracted by…
In this paper, we study the Tur\'{a}n problem of signed graphs version. Suppose that $\dot{G}$ is a connected unbalanced signed graph of order $n$ with $e(\dot{G})$ edges and $e^-(\dot{G})$ negative edges, and let $\rho(\dot{G})$ be the…
The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalues zero in its spectrum. A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges. In this paper, we obtain the coefficient theorem of the characteristic polynomial of a…
We associate a signed digraph with a list of matrices whose dimensions permit them to be multiplied, and whose product is square. Cycles in this graph have a parity, that is, they are either even (termed e-cycles) or odd (termed o-cycles).…
We define an equivalence relation on graphs with signed edges, such that the associated adjacency matrices of two equivalent graphs are congruent over $\mathbb{Z}$. We show that signed graphs whose eigenvalues are larger than $-2$ are…
The spectral properties of signed directed graphs, which may be naturally obtained by assigning a sign to each edge of a directed graph, have received substantially less attention than those of their undirected and/or unsigned counterparts.…
A weighted (directed) graph is a (directed) graph with integer weights assigned to its vertices and edges. The weight of a subgraph is the sum of weights of vertices and edges in the subgraph. The problem of determining the largest order…
In this paper, we define the Mycielskian of a signed graph and discuss the properties of balance and switching in the Mycielskian of a given signed graph. We provide a condition for ensuring the Mycielskian of a balanced signed graph…
We extend the theory of circular game chromatic numbers to signed graphs by defining the invariant $\chi_c^g(G,\sigma)$ for signed graphs $(G,\sigma)$. Our analysis establishes tight bounds dependent on the structural properties of the…
For a simple graph G = (V, E) and a positive integer k greater than or equal to 2, a coloring of vertices of G using exactly k colors such that every vertex has an equal number of vertices of each color in its closed neighborhood is called…
Let $G$ be a graph and let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signature $s(G)$ of $G$ is the difference between the positive inertia index and the negative inertia index of $A(G)$. Ma et al. [Positive and negative inertia index of a…
An eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a signed graph $S$ of order $n$ is called a main eigenvalue if its eigenspace is not orthogonal to the all-ones vector $j$. Characterizing signed graphs with exactly $k$ $(1\le k\le n)$ distinct main eigenvalues…

A biased graph is a graph with a class of selected circles ("cycles", "circuits"), called balanced, such that no theta subgraph contains exactly two balanced circles. A biased graph $\Omega$ has two natural matroids, the frame matroid…
In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a double dominating set of $G$ if $D$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. A signed graph $\Sigma = (G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ together…
