Matching number and characteristic polynomial of a graph

Relationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications

ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...

SIGNED GENERALIZED PETERSEN GRAPH AND ITS CHARACTERISTIC POLYNOMIAL

Let G^s be a signed graph, where G = (V;E) is the underlying simple graph and s : E(G) to {+, -} is the sign function on E(G). In this paper, we obtain k-th signed spectral moment and k-th signed Laplacian spectral moment of Gs together with coefficients of their signed characteristic polynomial and signed Laplacian characteristic polynomial are calculated.

ON THE MATCHING NUMBER OF AN UNCERTAIN GRAPH

Uncertain graphs are employed to describe graph models with indeterministicinformation that produced by human beings. This paper aims to study themaximum matching problem in uncertain graphs.The number of edges of a maximum matching in a graph is called matching numberof the graph. Due to the existence of uncertain edges, the matching number of an uncertain graph is essentially an uncertain var...

Uniform Number of a Graph

We introduce the notion of uniform number of a graph. The  uniform number of a connected graph $G$ is the least cardinality of a nonempty subset $M$ of the vertex set of $G$ for which the function $f_M: M^crightarrow mathcal{P}(X) - {emptyset}$ defined as $f_M(x) = {D(x, y): y in M}$ is a constant function, where $D(x, y)$ is the detour distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$ and $mathcal{P}(X)$ ...
