A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled by signs. This is a bibliography of signed graphs and related mathematics.Several kinds of labelled graph have been called "signed" yet are mathematically very different. I distinguish four types:Group-signed graphs: the edge labels are elements of a 2-element group and are multiplied around a polygon (or along any walk). Among the natural generalizations are larger groups and vertex signs.Sign-colored graphs, in which the edges are labelled from a two-element set that is acted upon by the sign group: - interchanges labels, + leaves them unchanged. This is the kind of "signed graph" found in knot theory. The natural generalization is to more colors and more general groups — or no group.Weighted graphs, in which the edge labels are the elements +1 and -1 of the integers or another additive domain. Weights behave like numbers, not signs; thus I regard work on weighted graphs as outside the scope of the bibliography — except (to some extent) when the author calls the weights "signs".Labelled graphs where the labels have no structure or properties but are called "signs" for any or no reason.

Gain Graph

Let T 4 = { ± 1 , ± i } be the subgroup of fourth roots of unity inside T , the multiplicative group of complex units. For a T 4 -gain graph Φ = ( Γ , T 4 , φ ) , we introduce gain functions on its line graph L ( Γ ) and on its subdivision graph S ( Γ ) . The corresponding gain graphs L ( Φ ) and S ( Φ ) are defined up to switching equivalence and generalize the analogous constructions for signed graphs. We discuss some spectral properties of these graphs and in particular we establish the relationship between the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a gain graph Φ , and the adjacency characteristic polynomials of L ( Φ ) and S ( Φ ) . A suitably defined incidence matrix for T 4 -gain graphs plays an important role in this context.

Graph Link

The present paper is an introduction to a combinatorial theory arising as a natural generalization of classical and virtual knot theory. There is a way to encode links by a class of "realizable" graphs. When passing to generic graphs with the same equivalence relations we get "graph-links". On one hand graph-links generalize the notion of virtual link, on the other hand they do not detect link mutations. We define the Jones polynomial for graph-links and prove its invariance. We also prove some a generalization of the Kauffman–Murasugi–Thistlethwaite theorem on "minimal diagrams" for graph-links.

Bracket Polynomial

AbstractA polynomial is defined on signed matroids which contains as specializations the Kauffman bracket polynomial of knot theory, the Tutte polynomial of a matroid, the partition function of the anisotropic Ising model, the Kauffman–Murasugi polynomials of signed graphs. It leads to generalizations of a theorem of Lickorish and Thistlethwaite showing that adequate link diagrams do not represent the unknot. We also investigate semi-adequacy and the span of the bracket polynomial in this wider context.

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.

Laplacian Energy

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 signed graph. A dominating set [Formula: see text] is said to be an independent dominating set of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is a fully negative. In this paper, we initiate a study of this parameter. We also establish the bounds and characterization on the independent domination number of a 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.

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.

Unitary Cayley Graph

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.

It is well-known that the Jones polynomial of an alternating knot is closely related to the Tutte polynomial of a special graph obtained from a regular projection of the knot. Relying on the results of Bollobás and Riordan, we introduce a generalization of Kauffman's Tutte polynomial of signed graphs for which describing the effect of taking a signed tensor product of signed graphs is very simple. We show that this Tutte polynomial of a signed tensor product of signed graphs may be expressed in terms of the Tutte polynomials of the original signed graphs by using a simple substitution rule. Our result enables us to compute the Jones polynomials of some large non-alternating knots. The combinatorics used to prove our main result is similar to Tutte's original way of counting "activities" and specializes to a new, perhaps simpler proof of the known formulas for the ordinary Tutte polynomial of the tensor product of unsigned graphs or matroids.
