An oriented graph Gσ is a simple undirected graph G with an orientation, which assigns to each edge a direction so that Gσ becomes a directed graph. G is called the underlying graph of Gσ and we denote by S(Gσ) the skew-adjacency matrix of Gσ and its spectrum Sp(Gσ) is called the skew-spectrum of Gσ. In this paper, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the skew-adjacency matrix S...

I present parallel algorithms for finding the bridgeand bi-connected components of an undirected graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and e edges on an n 112 x n 112 mesh of processing elements. The algorithms find the bridge-co~nected components in o (n ) time for input both in the form of an adjacency matrix and in the form of edges. For bi-connectivity, I show how to achieve 0 (n 3/2) time when ...

We consider extremal problems for algebraic graphs, that is, graphs whose vertices correspond to vectors in Rd, where two vectors are connected by an edge according to an algebraic condition. We also derive a lower bound on the rank of the adjacency matrix of a general abstract graph using the number of 4-cycles and a parameter which measures how close the graph is to being regular. From this w...

We consider a broad class of walk-based, parameterized node centrality measures based on functions of the adjacency matrix. These measures generalize various well-known centrality indices, including Katz and subgraph centrality. We show that the parameter can be “tuned” to interpolate between degree and eigenvector centrality, which appear as limiting cases. We also highlight the roles played b...

Let Γ denote a distance-regular graph with classical parameters (D, b, α, β) and b 6= 1, α = b − 1. The condition on α implies that Γ is formally self-dual. For b = q we use the adjacency matrix and dual adjacency matrix to obtain an action of the q-tetrahedron algebra ⊠q on the standard module of Γ. We describe four algebra homomorphisms into ⊠q from the quantum affine algebra Uq(ŝl2); using t...

The energy of a graph was introduced by Gutman in 1978 as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs. These are Cayley graphs on cyclic groups (i.e. there adjacency matrix is circulant) each of whose eigenvalues is an integer. Given an arbitrary prime power p, we determine all integral circu...

With every graph (or digraph) one can associate several different matrices. Here we shall concentrate mainly on the adjacency matrix of (undirected) graphs, and also discuss briefly the Laplacian. We shall show that spectral properties (the eigenvalues and eigenvectors) of these matrices provide useful information about the structure of the graph. It turns out that for regular graphs, the infor...
