Let A(G) be the adjacency matrix of a simple connected undirected graph G. A graph G of order n is said to be non-singular (respectively singular) if A(G) is non-singular (respectively singular). The spectrum of a graph G is the set of all its eigenvalues denoted by spec(G). The antireciprocal (respectively reciprocal) eigenvalue property for a graph G can be defined as "Let G be a non-singular graph G if the negative reciprocal (respectively positive reciprocal) of each eigenvalue is likewise an eigenvalue of G, then G has anti-reciprocal (respectively reciprocal) eigenvalue property." Furthermore, a graph G is said to have strong anti-reciprocal eigenvalue property (resp. strong reciprocal eigenvalue property) if the eigenvalues and their negative (resp. positive) reciprocals are of same multiplicities. In this article, graphs satisfying anti-reciprocal eigenvalue (or property (-R)) and strong anti-reciprocal eigenvalue property (or property (-SR)) are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we discuss the spectral properties of the general extended adjacency matrix for chain graphs. In particular, we discuss the eigenvalues of the general extended adjacency matrix of the chain graphs and obtain its general extended adjacency inertia. We obtain bounds for the largest and the smallest general extended adjacency eigenvalues and characterize the extremal graphs. We also obtain a lower bound for the spread of the general extended adjacency matrix. We characterize chain graphs with all the general extended adjacency eigenvalues being simple and chain graphs that are non-singular under the general extended adjacency matrix. Further, we determine the explicit formula for the determinant and the trace of the square of the general extended adjacency matrix of chain graphs. Finally, we discuss the energy of the general extended adjacency matrix and obtain some bounds for it. We characterize the extremal chain graphs attaining these bounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
