In spectral graph theory, the Laplacian energy of undirected graphs has been studied extensively. However, there has been little work yet for digraphs. Recently, Perera and Mizoguchi (2010) introduced the directed Laplacian matrix [Formula: see text] and directed Laplacian energy [Formula: see text] using the second spectral moment of [Formula: see text] for a digraph [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] vertices, where [Formula: see text] is the diagonal out-degree matrix, and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] whenever there is an arc [Formula: see text] from the vertex [Formula: see text] to the vertex [Formula: see text] and 0 otherwise. They studied the directed Laplacian energies of two special families of digraphs (simple digraphs and symmetric digraphs). In this paper, we extend the study of Laplacian energy for digraphs which allow both simple and symmetric arcs. We present lower and upper bounds for the Laplacian energy for such digraphs and also characterize the extremal graphs that attain the lower and upper bounds. We also present a polynomial algorithm to find an optimal orientation of a simple undirected graph such that the resulting oriented graph has the minimum Laplacian energy among all orientations. This solves an open problem proposed by Perera and Mizoguchi at 2010.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the reciprocal distance matrix (also called Harary matrix) of the graph [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the eigenvalues of the reciprocal distance matrix [Formula: see text] of the connected graph [Formula: see text] called the reciprocal distance eigenvalues of [Formula: see text]. The Harary energy [Formula: see text] of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is defined as sum of the absolute values of the reciprocal distance eigenvalues of [Formula: see text], that is, [Formula: see text] In this paper, we establish some new lower and upper bounds for [Formula: see text] in terms of different graph parameters associated with the structure of the graph [Formula: see text]. We characterize the extremal graphs attaining these bounds. We also obtain a relation between the Harary energy and the sum of [Formula: see text] largest adjacency eigenvalues of a connected graph.

Spectral graph theory plays an important role in engineering. Let G be a simple graph of order n with vertex set V=v1,v2,…,vn. For vi∈V, the degree of the vertex vi, denoted by di, is the number of the vertices adjacent to vi. The arithmetic-geometric adjacency matrix AagG of G is defined as the n×n matrix whose i,j entry is equal to di+dj/2didj if the vertices vi and vj are adjacent and 0 otherwise. The arithmetic-geometric spectral radius and arithmetic-geometric energy of G are the spectral radius and energy of its arithmetic-geometric adjacency matrix, respectively. In this paper, some new upper bounds on arithmetic-geometric energy are obtained. In addition, we present the Nordhaus–Gaddum-type relations for arithmetic-geometric spectral radius and arithmetic-geometric energy and characterize corresponding extremal graphs.

Coalescence as one of the operations on a pair of graphs is significant due to its simple form of chromatic polynomial. The adjacency matrix, Laplacian matrix, and signless Laplacian matrix are common matrices usually considered for discussion under spectral graph theory. In this paper, we compute adjacency, Laplacian, and signless Laplacian energy (Qenergy) of coalescence of pair of complete graphs. Also, as an application, we obtain the adjacency energy of subdivision graph and line graph of coalescence from itsQenergy.

We consider the skew Laplacian matrix of a digraph [Formula: see text] obtained by giving an arbitrary direction to the edges of a graph [Formula: see text] having [Formula: see text] vertices and [Formula: see text] edges. With [Formula: see text] to be the skew Laplacian eigenvalues of [Formula: see text], the skew Laplacian energy [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we analyze the effect of changing the orientation of an induced subdigraph on the skew Laplacian spectrum. We obtain bounds for the skew Laplacian energy [Formula: see text] in terms of various parameters associated with the digraph [Formula: see text] and the underlying graph [Formula: see text] and we characterize the extremal digraphs attaining these bounds. We also show these bounds improve some known bounds for some families of digraphs. Further, we show the existence of some families of skew Laplacian equienergetic digraphs.

AbstractFor a (molecular) graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), the first Zagreb index of G is defined as, where dG(vi) is the degree of vertex vi in G. Recently Xu et al. introduced two graphical invariantsandnamed as first multiplicative Zagreb coindex and second multiplicative Zagreb coindex, respectively. The Narumi-Katayama index of a graph G, denoted by NK(G), is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G, that is, NK(G) =. The irregularity index t(G) of G is defined as the number of distinct terms in the degree sequence of G. In this paper, we give some lower and upper bounds on the first Zagreb index M1(G) of graphs and trees in terms of number of vertices, irregularity index, maxi- mum degree, and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we obtain some lower and upper bounds on the (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb coindices of graphs and characterize the extremal graphs. Finally, we present some relations between first Zagreb index and Narumi-Katayama index, and (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb index and coindices of graphs.

For a graph G without isolated vertices, the inverse degree of a graph G is defined as I D ( G ) = ∑ u ∈ V ( G ) d ( u ) − 1 where d ( u ) is the number of vertices adjacent to the vertex u in G. By replacing − 1 by any non-zero real number we obtain zeroth-order general Randić index, i.e., 0 R γ ( G ) = ∑ u ∈ V ( G ) d ( u ) γ , where γ ∈ R − { 0 } . Xu et al. investigated some lower and upper bounds on I D for a connected graph G in terms of connectivity, chromatic number, number of cut edges, and clique number. In this paper, we extend their results and investigate if the same results hold for γ < 0 . The corresponding extremal graphs have also been identified.

In 1971 McClelland obtained lower and upper bounds for the total π-electron energy. We now formulate the generalized version of these bounds, applicable to the energy-like expression EX = Σni =1 |xi − x̅|, where x1,x2, . . . ,xn are any real numbers, and x̅ is their arithmetic mean. In particular, if x1,x2, . . . ,xn are the eigenvalues of the adjacency, Laplacian, or distance matrix of some graph G, then EX is the graph energy, Laplacian energy, or distance energy, respectively, of G.

The signless Laplacian matrix of a graph is the sum of its degree diagonal and adjacency matrices. In this paper, we present a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph. Then this result and other known results are used to obtain two new sharp upper bounds for the signless Laplacian spectral radius. Moreover, the extremal graphs which attain an upper bound are characterized.

Let [Formula: see text] be an orientation of a simple graph [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] vertices and [Formula: see text] edges. The skew Laplacian matrix [Formula: see text] of the digraph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the imaginary unit, [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix with oriented degrees [Formula: see text] as diagonal entries and [Formula: see text] is the skew matrix of the digraph [Formula: see text]. The largest eigenvalue of the matrix [Formula: see text] is called skew Laplacian spectral radius of the digraph [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study the skew Laplacian spectral radius of the digraph [Formula: see text]. We obtain some sharp lower and upper bounds for the skew Laplacian spectral radius of a digraph [Formula: see text], in terms of different structural parameters of the digraph and the underlying graph. We characterize the extremal digraphs attaining these bounds in some cases. Further, we end the paper with some problems for the future research in this direction.
