This paper established the idea of minimum evdominating matrix of semigraph and calculated its energy. The minimum ev-dominating energy EmeD(G) of a semigraph G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the minimum ev-dominating matrix. Here some results are also derived in connection with the energy of minimum evdominating matrix. Some lower bounds are also established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to the study of the double domination in vague graphs, and it is a contribution to the Special Issue "Advances in graph theory and Symmetry/Asymmetry" of Symmetry. Symmetry is one of the most important criteria that illustrate the structure and properties of fuzzy graphs. It has many applications in dominating sets and helps find a suitable place for construction. Vague graphs (VGs), which are a family of fuzzy graphs (FGs), are a well-organized and useful tool for capturing and resolving a range of real-world scenarios involving ambiguous data. In the graph theory, a dominating set (DS) for a graph G * = (X , E) is a subset D of the vertices X so that every vertex which is not in D is adjacent to at least one member of D. The subject of energy in graph theory is one of the most attractive topics serving a very important role in biological and chemical sciences. Hence, in this work, we express the notion of energy on a dominating vague graph (DVG) and also use the concept of energy in modeling problems related to DVGs. Moreover, we introduce a new notion of a double dominating vague graph (DDVG) and provide some examples to explain various concepts introduced. Finally, we present an application of energy on DVGs.

For 0 ≤ α ≤ 1, Nikiforov proposed to study the spectral properties of the family of matrices Aα(G) = αD(G)+(1 - α)A(G) of a graph G, where D(G) is the degree diagonal matrix and A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G. The α-spectral radius of G is the largest eigenvalue of Aα(G). For a graph with two pendant paths at a vertex or at two adjacent vertices, we prove results concerning the behavior of the α-spectral radius under relocation of a pendant edge in a pendant path. We give upper bounds for the α-spectral radius for unicyclic graphs G with maximum degree ∆ ≥ 2, connected irregular graphs with given maximum degree and some other graph parameters, and graphs with given domination number, respectively. We determine the unique tree with the second largest α-spectral radius among trees, and the unique tree with the largest α-spectral radius among trees with given diameter. We also determine the unique graphs so that the difference between the maximum degree and the α-spectral radius is maximum among trees, unicyclic graphs and non-bipartite graphs, respectively.
