for a simple digraph $g$ of order $n$ with vertex set${v_1,v_2,ldots, v_n}$, let $d_i^+$ and $d_i^-$ denote theout-degree and in-degree of a vertex $v_i$ in $g$, respectively. let$d^+(g)=diag(d_1^+,d_2^+,ldots,d_n^+)$ and$d^-(g)=diag(d_1^-,d_2^-,ldots,d_n^-)$. in this paper we introduce$widetilde{sl}(g)=widetilde{d}(g)-s(g)$ to be a new kind of skewlaplacian matrix of $g$, where $widetilde{d}(g...

We introduce a method for extracting spectral information from energy-resolved light curves folded at the neutron star spin period (known as pulse profiles) in accreting X-ray binaries. Spectra of these sources are sometimes characterized by features superimposed on smooth continuum, such iron emission lines and cyclotron resonant scattering features. address here question how to derive quantit...
