The inertia of weighted unicyclic graphs

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let GwG_w be a weighted graph. The \textit{inertia} of GwG_w is the triple In(Gw)=(i+(Gw),i−(Gw),In(G_w)=\big(i_+(G_w),i_-(G_w), i0(Gw)) i_0(G_w)\big), where i+(Gw),i−(Gw),i0(Gw)i_+(G_w),i_-(G_w),i_0(G_w) are the number of the positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A(Gw)A(G_w) of GwG_w including their multiplicities, respectively. i+(Gw)i_+(G_w), i−(Gw)i_-(G_w) is called the \textit{positive, negative index of inertia} of GwG_w, respectively. In this paper we present a lower bound for the positive, negative index of weighted unicyclic graphs of order nn with fixed girth and characterize all weighted unicyclic graphs attaining this lower bound. Moreover, we characterize the weighted unicyclic graphs of order nn with two positive, two negative and at least n−6n-6 zero eigenvalues, respectively.
