We introduce the notion of balance for directed graphs: a weighted directed graph is $\alpha$-balanced if for every cut $S \subseteq V$, the total weight of edges going from $S$ to $V\setminus S$ is within factor $\alpha$ of the total…

We consider circulant graphs G(r,N) where the vertices are the integers modulo N and the neighbours of 0 are {-r,...,-1,1,...,r}. The energy of G(r,N) is a trigonometric sum of N*r terms. For low values of r we compute this sum explicitly.…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, denoted $G(\gamma) = (V(\gamma), E(\gamma))$, is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent in…

A signed graph is a pair $(G,\Sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph (in which parallel edges and loops are permitted) with $V=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and $\Sigma\subseteq E$. The edges in $\Sigma$ are called odd edges and the other edges of $E$ even.…

For a connected graph $G$, we present the concept of a new graph matrix related to its distance and Seidel matrix, called distance Seidel matrix $\mathcal{D}^S(G)$. Suppose that the eigenvalues of $\mathcal{D}^S(G)$ be $\partial_{1}^{S}(G)…

In 1978 Gutman introduced the energy of a graph as the sum of the absolute values of graph eigenvalues, and ever since then graph energy has been intensively studied. Since graph energy is the trace norm of the adjacency matrix, matrix…
