The energy of a simple graph G , E ( G ) , is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The energy of line graph and the signless Laplacian energy of graph G are denoted by E ( L G ) ( L G is the line graph of G ) and LE + ( G ) , respectively. In this paper we obtain a relation between E ( L G ) and LE + ( G ) of graph G . From this relation we characterize all the graphs satisfying E ( L G ) = LE + ( G ) + 4 m n − 4 . We also present a relation between E ( G ) and E ( L G ) . Moreover, we give an upper bound on E ( L G ) of graph G and characterize the extremal graphs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper the unique graph with maximal index (i.e. the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix) is identified among all connected bipartite graphs of order n and size n + k , under the assumption that k ≥ 0 and n ≥ k + 5 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let Γ = ( G , σ ) be a signed graph, where G is the underlying simple graph and σ : E ( G ) → { + , − } is the sign function on the edges of G . In this paper we consider the spectral characterization problem extended to the adjacency matrix and Laplacian matrix of signed graphs. After giving some basic results, we study the spectral determination of signed lollipop graphs, and we show that any signed lollipop graph is determined by the spectrum of its Laplacian matrix.

Let G be a simple graph with the adjacency matrix A ( G ) . A well-known result of Cvetković and Gutman states that removing a pendant vertex and its neighbour, does not change the nullity of the graph. We generalize this theorem and some other theorems similar to it for an arbitrary eigenvalue of a graph. Also, for an arbitrary eigenvalue λ , we use a corresponding star set to delete some subgraphs and to determine the multiplicity of λ . We use star sets to find some Parter–Wiener vertices, in trees. We state our results for real symmetric matrices (and so for weighted graphs) and as a corollary we use them for simple graphs. Furthermore, we use these methods to obtain some results for λ = 0 , ± 1 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A graph in a certain graph class is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix attains the minimum among all graphs in that class. Bell et al. have identified a subclass within the connected graphs of order n and size m in which minimizing graphs belong (the complements of such graphs are either disconnected or contain a clique of size n/2 ). In this paper we discuss the minimizing graphs of a special class of graphs of order n whose complements are connected and contains exactly one cycle (namely the class Ucn of graphs whose complements are unicyclic), and characterize the unique minimizing graph in Ucn when n ≥ 20.

Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A, and let H(t)=exp(itA). For an eigenvalue μ of A with multiplicity k, a star set for μ in G is a vertex set X of G such that |X|=k and the induced subgraph G-X does not have μ as an eigenvalue. G is said to have perfect state transfer from the vertex u to the vertex v if there is a time τ such that |H(τ)u,v|=1. The unitary operator H(t) has important applications in the transfer of quantum information. In this paper, we give an expression of H(t). For a star set X of graph G, perfect state transfer does not occur between any two vertices in X. We also give some results for the existence of perfect state transfer in a graph.

Let G = G1 ∪ G2 be the sum of two simple graphs G1, G2 having a common edge or G = G1 ∪ e1 ∪ e2 ∪ G2 be the sum of two simple disjoint graphs G1,G2 connected by two edges e1 and e2 which form a cycle C4 inside G. We give a method of computing the determinant detA(G) of the adjacency matrix of G by reducing the calculation of the determinant to certain subgraphs of G1 and G2. To show the scope and effectiveness of our method we give some examples [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
