On spectral partitioning of signed graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Classical spectral clustering is based on a spectral decomposition of a graph Laplacian, obtained from a graph adjacency matrix representing positive graph edge weights describing similarities of graph vertices. In signed graphs, the graph edge weights can be negative to describe disparities of graph vertices, for example, negative correlations in the data. Negative weights lead to possible negative spectrum of the standard graph Laplacian, which is cured by defining a signed Laplacian. We revisit comparing the standard and signed Laplacians and argue that the former is more natural than the latter, also showing that the negative spectrum is actually beneficial, for spectral clustering of signed graphs.

More Equienergetic Signed Graphs
The energy of signed graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Two signed graphs are said to be equienergetic if they have same energy. In the literature the construction of equienergetic signed graphs are reported. In this paper we obtain the characteristic polynomial and energy of the join of two signed graphs and thereby we give another construction ...

Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$.
