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.

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 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 simple graph with n vertices and m edges. The energy E(G) of G, denotedby E(G), is dened to be the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. Inthis paper, we present two new upper bounds for energy of a graph, one in terms ofm,n and another in terms of largest absolute eigenvalue and the smallest absoluteeigenvalue. The paper also contains upper bounds for Laplacian energy of graph.

Coloring Complex

International audience Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices. The coloring complex$ Δ (G)$ was defined by Steingrímsson, and the homology of $Δ (G)$ was shown to be nonzero only in dimension $n-3$ by Jonsson. Hanlon recently showed that the Eulerian idempotents provide a decomposition of the homology group $H_{n-3}(Δ (G))$ where the dimension of the $j^th$ component in the decomposition, $H_{n-3}^{(j)}(Δ (G))$, equals the absolute value of the coefficient of $λ ^j$ in the chromatic polynomial of $G, _{\mathcal{χg}}(λ )$. Let $H$ be a hypergraph with $n$ vertices. In this paper, we define the coloring complex of a hypergraph, $Δ (H)$, and show that the coefficient of $λ ^j$ in $χ _H(λ )$ gives the Euler Characteristic of the $j^{th}$ Hodge subcomplex of the Hodge decomposition of $Δ (H)$. We also examine conditions on a hypergraph, $H$, for which its Hodge subcomplexes are Cohen-Macaulay, and thus where the absolute value of the coefficient of $λ ^j$ in $χ _H(λ )$ equals the dimension of the $j^{th}$ Hodge piece of the Hodge decomposition of $Δ (H)$. Soit $G$ un graphe simple à n sommets. Le complexe de coloriage $Δ (G)$ a été défini par Steingrímsson et Jonsson a prouvé que l'homologie de $Δ (G)$ est non nulle seulement en dimension $n-3$. Hanlon a récemment prouvé que les idempotents eulériens fournissent une décomposition du groupe d'homologie $H_{n-3}(Δ (G))$ où la dimension de la $j^e$ composante dans la décomposition de $H_{n-3}^{(j)}(Δ (G))$ est égale à la valeur absolue du coefficient de $λ ^j$ dans le polynôme chromatique de $G, _{\mathcal{χg}}(λ )$ . Soit H un hypergraphe à $n$ sommets. Dans ce texte, nous définissons le complexe de coloration d'un hypergraphe $Δ (H)$ et nous prouvons que le coefficient de $λ ^j$ dans $χ _H(λ )$ donne la caractéristique d'Euler du $j^e$ sous-complexe de Hodge dans la décomposition de Hodge de Δ (H). Nous examinons également des conditions sur un hypergraphe H pour lesquelles les sous-complexes de Hodge sont Cohen-Macaulay. Ainsi la valeur absolue du coefficient de $λ ^j$ in $χ _H(λ )$ est égale à la dimension du $j^e$sous-complexe de Hodge dans la décomposition de Hodge de $Δ (H)$.

AbstractAttitudinal network graphs are signed graphs where edges capture an expressed opinion; two vertices connected by an edge can be agreeable (positive) or antagonistic (negative). A signed graph is called balanced if each of its cycles includes an even number of negative edges. Balance is often characterized by the frustration index or by finding a single convergent balanced state of network consensus. In this paper, we propose to expand the measures of consensus from a single balanced state associated with the frustration index to the set of nearest balanced states. We introduce the frustration cloud as a set of all nearest balanced states and use a graph-balancing algorithm to find all nearest balanced states in a deterministic way. Computational concerns are addressed by measuring consensus probabilistically, and we introduce new vertex and edge metrics to quantify status, agreement, and influence. We also introduce a new global measure of controversy for a given signed graph and show that vertex status is a zero-sum game in the signed network. We propose an efficient scalable algorithm for calculating frustration cloud-based measures in social network and survey data of up to 80,000 vertices and half-a-million edges. We also demonstrate the power of the proposed approach to provide discriminant features for community discovery when compared to spectral clustering and to automatically identify dominant vertices and anomalous decisions in the network.

The Laplacian energy of a signed graph is defined as the sum of the distance of its Laplacian eigenvalues from its average degree. Two signed graphs of the same order are said to be Laplacian equienergetic if their Laplacian energies are equal. In this paper, we present several infinite families of Laplacian equienergetic signed graphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A signed graph is an ordered pair [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a graph called the underlying graph of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a function called a signature or signing function. Motivated by the innovative paper of B. D. Acharya on domination in signed graphs, we consider another way of defining the concept of domination in signed graphs which looks more natural and has applications in social science. A subset [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called a dominating set of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. The domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of [Formula: see text]. Also, a dominating set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] is called a [Formula: see text]-set of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate a study on this parameter.

Restrained Domination Number

A signed graph [Formula: see text] is a simple undirected graph in which each edge is either positive or negative. Restrained dominating set [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is a restrained dominating set of the underlying graph [Formula: see text] where the subgraph induced by the edges across [Formula: see text] and within [Formula: see text] is balanced. The minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of [Formula: see text] is called the restrained domination number, denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we initiate the study on various critical concepts to investigate the effect of edge removal or edge addition on restrained domination number in signed graphs.
