چکیده
A signed graph is a together with an assignment of signs to the edges. closed walk in said be positive (negative) if it has even (odd) number negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing walks as one key structural properties graph, we define homomorphism (G,?) (H,?) mapping vertices and edges G (respectively) H which preserves incidence, adjacency walks. In this work first give characterization sets that correspond set some on G. We also easy algorithm for corresponding decision problem. After verifying equivalence between definition earlier ones, discuss relation homomorphisms graphs those 2-edge-colored graphs. Next provide basic no-homomorphism lemmas. These lemmas lead general method defining chromatic discussed at length. Finally, list few problems are driving force behind study

Homomorphisms of Signed Graphs
A signed graph [G,Σ] is a graph G together with an assignment of signs + and − to all the edges of G where Σ is the set of negative edges. Furthermore [G,Σ1] and [G,Σ2] are considered to be equivalent if the symmetric difference of Σ1 and Σ2 is an edge cut of G. Naturally arising from matroid theory, several notions of graph theory, such as the theory of minors and the theory of nowhere-zero fl...
متن کاملHomomorphisms of signed planar graphs
Signed graphs are studied since the middle of the last century. Recently, the notion of homomorphism of signed graphs has been introduced since this notion captures a number of well known conjectures which can be reformulated using the definitions of signed homomorphism. In this paper, we introduce and study the properties of some target graphs for signed homomorphism. Using these properties, w...
متن کاملHomomorphisms of planar signed graphs to signed projective cubes
We conjecture that every signed graph of unbalanced girth 2g, whose underlying graph is bipartite and planar, admits a homomorphism to the signed projective cube of dimension 2g−1. Our main result is to show that for a given g, this conjecture is equivalent to the corresponding case (k = 2g) of a conjecture of Seymour claiming that every planar k-regular multigraph with no odd edge-cut of less ...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Homomorphisms of Signed Graphs and Signed Constraint Satisfaction
A signed graph (G,Σ) is an undirected graph G together with an assignment of signs (positive or negative) to all its edges, where Σ denotes the set of negative edges. Two signatures are said to be equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of resignings (i.e. switching the sign of all edges incident to a given vertex). Extending the notion of usual graph homomorphisms, homom...
متن کاملOn net-Laplacian Energy of Signed Graphs
A signed graph is a graph where the edges are assigned either positive ornegative signs. Net degree of a signed graph is the dierence between the number ofpositive and negative edges incident with a vertex. It is said to be net-regular if all itsvertices have the same net-degree. Laplacian energy of a signed graph is defined asε(L(Σ)) =|γ_1-(2m)/n|+...+|γ_n-(2m)/n| where γ_1,...,γ_n are the ei...
