Abstract:

The energy of a graph is equal to the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. Two graphs of the same order are said to be equienergetic if their energies are equal. We point out the following two open problems for equienergetic graphs. (1) Although it is known that there are numerous pairs of equienergetic, non-cospectral trees, it is not known how to systematically construct any such pair. (2) If by numerical calculation one finds that two non-cospectral graphs seem to be equienergetic, in the general case no method is known for proving that this indeed is the case.

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 ...

D - Equienergetic Self - Complementary Graphs

The D-eigenvalues {μ1, μ2, . . . , μn} of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D and form the D-spectrum of G denoted by specD(G) . The D-energy ED(G) of the graph G is the sum of the absolute values of its D-eigenvalues. We describe here the distance spectrum of some self-complementary graphs in the terms of their adjacency spectrum. These results are used to show that there ex...

New skew equienergetic oriented graphs

Let $S(G^{sigma})$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of the oriented graph $G^{sigma}$, which is obtained from a simple undirected graph $G$ by assigning an orientation $sigma$ to each of its edges. The skew energy of an oriented graph $G^{sigma}$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of $S(G^{sigma})$. Two oriented graphs are said to be skew equienergetic iftheir skew energies...

Small and Not so Small Equienergetic Graphs

We show that, contrary to the claims of several authors that there exists no equienergetic graphs on seven vertices, there exists 21 sets of noncospectral, equienergetic graphs on seven vertices. We also give the number and cardinality of sets of equienergetic connected graphs on eight, nine and ten vertices, and equienergetic trees and chemical trees on up to 22 vertices. Finally, we construct...

Graphs equienergetic with edge-deleted subgraphs

The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Two graphs are equienergetic if they have the same energy. We construct infinite families of graphs equienergetic with edge-deleted subgraphs.
