A signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges: positive and negative edges. Switching a vertex $v$ of a signed graph corresponds to changing the type of each edge incident to $v$. A homomorphism from a signed graph $G$ to another…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ with a signature $\sigma$ labeling each edge with a positive or negative sign. Two signatures of $G$ are switching equivalent if one is obtained from the other by changing the signs of all edges in…

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…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

Let $\gamma'_s(G)$ be the signed edge domination number of G. In 2006, Xu conjectured that: for any $2$-connected graph G of order $ n (n \geq 2),$ $\gamma'_s(G)\geq 1$. In this article we show that this conjecture is not true. More…

An edge uv in a graph \Gamma\ is directionally 2-signed (or, (2,d)-signed) by an ordered pair (a,b), a,b in {+,-}, if the label l(uv) = (a,b) from u to v, and l(vu) = (b,a) from v to u. Directionally 2-signed graphs are equivalent to…

A signed graph $\Sigma=(G,\sigma)$ consists of an underlying graph $G=(V,E)$ with a sign function $\sigma:E\rightarrow\{-1,1\}$. Let $A(\Sigma)$ be the adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$ and $\lambda_1(\Sigma)$ denote the largest eigenvalue…

A signed graph is a graph together with an assignment of signs to the edges. A closed walk in a signed graph is said to be positive (negative) if it has an even (odd) number of negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing the signs of…

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…
