The energy of a vertex $v_i$ in a graph $G$ is defined as $\mathcal{E}_G(v_i) = |A|_{ii}$, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$, $A^*$ denotes the conjugate transpose of $A$, and $|A| = (AA^*)^{1/2}$. The total energy of the graph,…

The energy of a graph G, denoted by E(G), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of G. It is proved that E(G)>= 2(n-\chi(\bar{G}))>= 2(ch(G)-1) for every graph G of order n, and that E(G)>= 2ch(G) for all graphs G…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size at least $2$, a path in $G$ is said to be an $S$-path if it connects all vertices of $S$. Two $S$-paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ are said to be internally disjoint if $E(P_1)\cap…

Let a network be represented by a simple graph $\mathcal{G}$ with $n$ vertices. A common approach to investigate properties of a network is to use the adjacency matrix $A=[a_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n\in\R^{n\times n}$ associated with the graph…
