A digraph $D$ is called {\bf noneven} if it is possible to assign weights of 0,1 to its arcs so that $D$ contains no cycle of even weight. A noneven digraph $D$ corresponds to one or more nonsingular sign patterns. Given an $n \times n$…

A weighted graph $G^{\omega}$ consists of a simple graph $G$ with a weight $\omega$, which is a mapping,$\omega$: $E(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$. A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled with $-1$ or $1$. In this paper,…

Gain graphs are graphs where the edges are given some orientation and labeled with the elements (called gains) from a group so that gains are inverted when we reverse the direction of the edges. Generalizing the notion of gain graphs, skew…

A signed graph $\Sigma$ is a pair $(G,\sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph in which each edge is assigned $+1$ or $-1$ by the signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow\{-1,+1\}$. In this paper, we extend the extensively applied…

The adjacency-diametrical matrix (AD matrix) of a connected graph $G$ with diameter $d$, denoted by $AD(G)$, is the matrix indexed by the vertices of $G$ in which the $(i,j)$-entry of $AD(G)$ is $1$ if $d_G(v_i,v_j)=1$, is $d$ if…

A $k$-edge-weighting of $G$ is a mapping $\omega:E(G)\longrightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$. The edge-weighting of $G$ naturally induces a vertex-colouring $\sigma_{\omega}:V(G)\longrightarrow \mathbb{N}$ given by$\sigma_{\omega}(v)=\sum_{u\in…

A signed graph is a pair $(G,\Sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph (in which parallel edges are permitted, but loops are not) with $V={1,...,n}$ and $\Sigma\subseteq E$. By $S(G,\Sigma)$ we denote the set of all symmetric $V\times V$…

A {\it star-factor} of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ such that each component of which is a star. An {\it edge-weighting} of $G$ is a function $w: E(G)\longrightarrow \mathbb{N}^+$, where $\mathbb{N}^+$ is the set of positive…

In some applications of matching, the structural or hierarchical properties of the two graphs being aligned must be maintained. The hierarchical properties are induced by the direction of the edges in the two directed graphs. These…
