چکیده

The minimum rank of a simple graph G over a field F is the smallest possible rank among all real symmetric matrices, over F, whose (i, j)-entry (for i 6= j) is nonzero whenever ij is an edge in G and is zero otherwise. In this paper, the problem of minimum rank of (strict) powers of trees is studied.

Ela on the Minimum Rank of Not Necessarily Symmetric Matrices: a Preliminary Study∗

The minimum rank of a directed graph Γ is defined to be the smallest possible rank over all real matrices whose ijth entry is nonzero whenever (i, j) is an arc in Γ and is zero otherwise. The symmetric minimum rank of a simple graph G is defined to be the smallest possible rank over all symmetric real matrices whose ijth entry (for i = j) is nonzero whenever {i, j} is an edge in G and is zero o...

Ela Diagonal Entry Restrictions in Minimum Rank Matrices

Let F be a field, let G be a simple graph on n vertices, and let S (G) be the class of all F -valued symmetric n × n matrices whose nonzero off-diagonal entries occur in exactly the positions corresponding to the edges of G. For each graph G, there is an associated minimum rank class, M R (G) consisting of all matrices A ∈ S (G) with rankA = mr (G), the minimum rank among all matrices in S (G)....

Ela Minimum Semidefinite Rank of Outerplanar Graphs and the Tree Cover Number

Let G = (V, E) be a multigraph with no loops on the vertex set V = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Define S+(G) as the set of symmetric positive semidefinite matrices A = [aij ] with aij 6= 0, i 6= j, if ij ∈ E(G) is a single edge and aij = 0, i 6= j, if ij / ∈ E(G). Let M+(G) denote the maximum multiplicity of zero as an eigenvalue of A ∈ S+(G) and mr+(G) = |G|−M+(G) denote the minimum semidefinite rank of...

Ela Note on Positive Semidefinite Maximum Nullity and Positive Semidefinite Zero Forcing Number of Partial 2-trees

The maximum positive semidefinite nullity of a multigraph G is the largest possible nullity over all real positive semidefinite matrices whose (i, j)th entry (for i 6= j) is zero if i and j are not adjacent in G, is nonzero if {i, j} is a single edge, and is any real number if {i, j} is a multiple edge. The definition of the positive semidefinite zero forcing number for simple graphs is extende...
