We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We determine the admissible parameters for the $\{5,6,\ldots,10\}$-regular signed graphs which have only two distinct eigenvalues. For each obtained…

Take a graph $G$, an edge subset $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$, and a set of terminals $T\subseteq V(G)$ where $|T|$ is even. The triple $(G,\Sigma,T)$ is called a signed graft. A $T$-join is odd if it contains an odd number of edges from…

A 2-edge-colored graph or a signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges. A homomorphism from a 2-edge-colored graph $G$ to a 2-edge-colored graph $H$ is a mapping $\varphi: V(G) \rightarrow V(H)$ that maps every edge in $G$ to an…

Let $G$ be a graph. For a subset $X$ of $V(G)$, the switching $\sigma$ of $G$ is the signed graph $G^{\sigma}$ obtained from $G$ by reversing the signs of all edges between $X$ and $V(G)\setminus X$. Let $A(G^{\sigma})$ be the adjacency…

A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is a graph $G$ together with a set $\Sigma \subseteq E(G)$ of negative edges. A circuit is positive if the product of the signs of its edges is positive. A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is balanced if all its…

A signed graph is a pair $(G, \sigma)$, where $G$ is a graph and $\sigma: E(G) \to \{+, -\}$ is a signature which assigns to each edge of $G$ a sign. Various notions of coloring of signed graphs have been studied. In this paper, we extend…

A signed graph $\Gamma(G)$ is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $\Gamma(G)$. The energy of a signed graph $\Gamma(G)$ is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the…

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 $G$…
