AbstractLet $G$ be a general weighted graph (with possible self-loops) on $n$ vertices and $\lambda _1,\lambda _2,\ldots ,\lambda _n$ be its eigenvalues. The Estrada index of $G$ is a graph invariant defined as $EE=\sum _{i=1}^ne^{\lambda _i}$. We present a generic expression for $EE$ based on weights of short closed walks in $G$. We establish lower and upper bounds for $EE$in terms of low-order spectral moments involving the weights of closed walks. A concrete example of calculation is provided.
