A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$,…

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 $V=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and $\Sigma\subseteq E$. The edges in $\Sigma$ are called odd and the other edges of $E$…

A signed graph $\Sigma = (G, \sigma)$ is a graph where the function $\sigma$ assigns either $1$ or $-1$ to each edge of the simple graph $G$. The adjacency matrix of $\Sigma$, denoted by $A(\Sigma)$, is defined canonically. In a recent…
