A signed graph consists of a (simple) graph G=(V,E) together with a function ? : E ? {+,-} called signature. Matrices can be associated to signed graphs and the question whether a signed graph is determined by the set of its eigenvalues has gathered the attention of several researchers. In this paper we study the spectral determination with respect to the Laplacian spectrum of signed ?-graphs. After computing some spectral invariants and obtain some constraints on the cospectral mates, we obtain some non isomorphic signed graphs cospectral to signed ?-graphs and we study the spectral characterization of the signed ?-graphs containing a triangle.

A signed graph is a simple graph where each edge receives a sign positive or negative. Such graphs are mainly used in social sciences where individuals represent vertices friendly relation between them as a positive edge and enmity as a negative edge. In signed graphs, we define these relationships (edges) as of friendship (“+” edge) or hostility (“-” edge). A 2-path product signed graph S#^S of a signed graph S is defined as follows: the vertex set is the same as S and two vertices are adjacent if and only if there exists a path of length two between them in S. The sign of an edge is the product of marks of vertices in S where the mark of vertex u in S is the product of signs of all edges incident to the vertex. In this paper, we give a characterization of 2-path product signed graphs. Also, some other properties such as sign-compatibility and canonically-sign-compatibility of 2-path product signed graphs are discussed along with isomorphism and switching equivalence of this signed graph with 2-path signed graph.

Let G be an r-regular graph with order n, and G ∨ H be the graph obtained by joining each vertex of G to each vertex of H. In this paper, we prove that G ∨ K2is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum for r = 1, n - 2. For r = n - 3, we show that G ∨ K2is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum if and only if the complement of G has no triangles.

A dumbbell graph, denoted by $D_{a,b,c}$, is a bicyclic graph consisting of two vertex-disjoint cycles $C_a$, $C_b$ and a path $P_{c+3}$ ($c \geq -1$) joining them having only its end-vertices in common with the two cycles. In this paper, we study the spectral characterization w.r.t. the adjacency spectrum of $D_{a,b,0}$ (without cycles $C_4$) with $\gcd(a,b)\geq 3$, and we complete the research started in [J.F. Wang et al., A note on the spectral characterization of dumbbell graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1707–1714]. In particular we show that $D_{a,b,0}$ with $3 \leq \gcd(a,b) < a$ or $\gcd(a,b)=a$ and $b\neq 3a$ is determined by the spectrum. For $b=3a$, we determine the unique graph cospectral with $D_{a,3a,0}$. Furthermore we give the spectral characterization w.r.t. the signless Laplacian spectrum of all dumbbell graphs.

A Signed graph (or sigraph in short) is an ordered pair S = (G, σ), where G is a graph G = (V, E) and σ : E → {+, −} is a function from the edge set E of G into the set {+, −}. For a positive integer n > 1, the unitary Cayley graph Xnis the graph whose vertex set is Zn, the integers modulo n and if Undenotes set of all units of the ring Zn, then two vertices a, b are adjacent if and only if a − b ∈ Un. In this paper, we have obtained a characterization of balanced and clusterable unitary Cayley ring sigraph [Formula: see text]. Further, we have established a characterization of canonically consistent unitary Cayley ring sigraph [Formula: see text], where n has at most two distinct odd primes factors. Also sign-compatibility has been worked out for the same.

A signed graph is a pair $(G, \sigma)$, where $G$ is a graph (loops and multi edges allowed) and $\sigma: E(G) \to \{+, -\}$ is a signature which assigns to each edge of $G$ a sign. Various notions of coloring of signed graphs have been studied. In this paper, we extend circular coloring of graphs to signed graphs. Given a signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ with no positive loop, a circular $r$-coloring of $(G, \sigma)$ is an assignment $\psi$ of points of a circle of circumference $r$ to the vertices of $G$ such that for every edge $e=uv$ of $G$, if $\sigma(e)=+$, then $\psi(u)$ and $\psi(v)$ have distance at least $1$, and if $\sigma(e)=-$, then $\psi(v)$ and the antipodal of $\psi(u)$ have distance at least $1$. The circular chromatic number $\chi_c(G, \sigma)$ of a signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ is the infimum of those $r$ for which $(G, \sigma)$ admits a circular $r$-coloring. For a graph $G$, we define the signed circular chromatic number of $G$ to be $\max\{\chi_c(G, \sigma): \sigma \text{ is a signature of $G$}\}$.  We study basic properties of circular coloring of signed graphs and develop tools for calculating $\chi_c(G, \sigma)$. We explore the relation between the circular chromatic number and the signed circular chromatic number of graphs, and present bounds for the signed circular chromatic number of some families of graphs. In particular,  we determine the supremum of the signed circular chromatic number of $k$-chromatic graphs of large girth, of simple bipartite planar graphs, $d$-degenerate graphs, simple outerplanar graphs and series-parallel graphs. We construct a signed planar simple graph whose circular chromatic number is $4+\frac{2}{3}$. This is based and improves on a signed graph built by Kardos and Narboni as a counterexample to a conjecture of Máčajová, Raspaud, and Škoviera.

A $signed graph$ (or $sigraph$ in short) is an ordered pair $S = (S^u, \sigma)$, where $S^u$ is a graph $G = (V, E)$ and $\sigma : E\rightarrow \{+,-\}$ is a function from the edge set $E$ of $S^u$ into the set $\{+, -\}$. For a positive integer $n > 1$, the unitary Cayley graph $X_n$ is the graph whose vertex set is $Z_n$, the integers modulo $n$ and if $U_n$ denotes set of all units of the ring $Z_n$, then two vertices $a, b$ are adjacent if and only if $a-b \in U_n$. For a positive integer $n > 1$, the unitary Cayley sigraph $\mathcal{S}_n = (\mathcal{S}^u_n, \sigma)$ is defined as the sigraph, where $\mathcal{S}^u_n$ is the unitary Cayley graph and for an edge $ab$ of $\mathcal{S}_n$, $$\sigma(ab) = \begin{cases} + & \text{if } a \in U_n \text{ or } b \in U_n,\\ - & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}$$ In this paper, we have obtained a characterization of balanced unitary Cayley sigraphs. Further, we have established a characterization of canonically consistent unitary Cayley sigraphs $\mathcal{S}_n$, where $n$ has at most two distinct odd prime factors.

A signed graph is an ordered pair [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a graph G = (V, E), called the underlying graph of S and [Formula: see text] is a function from the edge set E of Su into the set {+, -}, called the signature of S. In this paper, we characterize all those signed graphs whose 2-path signed graphs are isomorphic to their square signed graph along with algorithm to check the same. In other sections we find the characterization of signed graph S such that [Formula: see text] where D is a derived signed graph of the signed graph S such as: line signed graphs, total signed graphs, common edge signed graphs, splitting signed graphs. Also each characterization is supported by algorithms for the same.

The Tosha-degree of an edge $\alpha $ in a graph $\Gamma$ without multiple edges, denoted by $T(\alpha)$, is the number of edges adjacent to $\alpha$ in $\Gamma$, with self-loops counted twice. A signed graph (marked graph) is an ordered pair $\Sigma=(\Gamma,\sigma)$ ($\Sigma =(\Gamma, \mu)$), where $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a graph called the underlying graph of $\Sigma$ and $\sigma : E \rightarrow \{+,-\}$ ($\mu : V \rightarrow \{+,-\}$) is a function. In this paper, we define the Tosha-degree equivalence signed graph of a given signed graph and offer a switching equivalence characterization of signed graphs that are switching equivalent to Tosha-degree equivalence signed graphs and $ k^{th}$ iterated Tosha-degree equivalence signed graphs. It is shown that for any signed graph $\Sigma$, its Tosha-degree equivalence signed graph $T(\Sigma)$ is balanced and we offer a structural characterization of Tosha-degree equivalence signed graphs

A signed graph is acquired by attaching a sign to each edge of a simple graph, and the signed graphs have been widely used as significant computer models in the study of complex systems. The energy of a signed graph S can be described as the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. In this paper, we characterize tricyclic signed graphs with minimal energy.
