A signed graph (or sigraph in short) is an ordered pair S = (Su, σ), where Su is a graph G = (V, E), called the underlying graph of S and σ : E → {+1, −1} is a function from the edge set E of Su into the set {+1, −1}, called the signature of S. A sigraph S is sign-compatible if there exists a marking µ of its vertices such that the end vertices of every negative edge receive ‘−1’ marks in µ and no positive edge does so. In this paper, we characterize S such that its ×-line sigraphs, semi-total line sigraphs, semi-total point sigraphs and total sigraphs are sign-compatible.

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 [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.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] denote a set of non-negative integers and [Formula: see text] be its power set. An integer additive set-labeling (IASL) of a graph [Formula: see text] is an injective set-valued function [Formula: see text] such that the induced function [Formula: see text] is defined by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the sumset of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. An IASL of a signed graph [Formula: see text] is an IASL of its underlying graph [Formula: see text] together with the signature [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text]. A marking of a signed graph is an injective map [Formula: see text], defined by [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Switching of signed graph is the process of changing the sign of the edges in [Formula: see text] whose end vertices have different signs. In this paper, we discuss certain characteristics of the switched signed graphs of certain types of integer additive set-labeled signed graphs.

AbstractA signed graph Σ is a graph with positive or negative signs attatched to each of its edges. A signed graph Σ is balanced if each of its cycles has an even number of negative edges. Restrained dominating set D in Σ is a restrained dominating set of its underlying graph where the subgraph induced by the edges across Σ[D : V \ D] and within V \ D is balanced. The set D having least cardinality is called minimum restrained dominating set and its cardinality is the restrained domination number of Σ denoted by γr(Σ). The ability to communicate rapidly within the network is an important application of domination in social networks. The main aim of this paper is to initiate a study on restrained domination in the realm of different classes of signed graphs.

Balanced signed graphs appear in the context of social groups with symmetric relations between individuals where a positive edge represents friendship and a negative edge represents enmities between the individuals. The frustration number f of a signed graph is the size of the minimal set F of vertices whose removal results in a balanced signed graph; hence, a connected signed graph G˙ is balanced if and only if f=0. In this paper, we consider the balance of G˙ via the relationships between the frustration number and eigenvalues of the symmetric Laplacian matrix associated with G˙. It is known that a signed graph is balanced if and only if its least Laplacian eigenvalue μn is zero. We consider the inequalities that involve certain Laplacian eigenvalues, the frustration number f and some related invariants such as the cut size of F and its average vertex degree. In particular, we consider the interplay between μn and f.

For α∈[0,1], let Aα(Gσ)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(Gσ), where G is a simple undirected graph, D(G) is the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and A(Gσ) is the adjacency matrix of the signed graph Gσ whose underlying graph is G. In this paper, basic properties of Aα(Gσ) are obtained, its positive semidefiniteness is studied and some bounds on its eigenvalues are derived—in particular, lower and upper bounds on its largest eigenvalue are obtained.

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 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.

Let G? be a signed graph with the underlying graph G and with sign function ? : E(G) ? {?}. In this paper, we characterize the signed graphs with two distinct eigenvalues whose underlying graphs are triangle-free. Also, we classify all 3-regular and 4-regular signed graphs whose underlying graphs are triangle-free and give their adjacency matrices as well.
