Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a new kind of graph energy, the minimum edge covering energy, ECE(G). It depends both on the underlying graph G, and on its particular minimum edge covering CE. Upper and lower bounds for ECE(G) are established. The minimum edge covering energy and some of the coefficients of the polynomial of well-known families of graphs like Star, Path and Cycle Graphs are computed.



Keywords:

Minimum edge covering set, minimum edge covering matrix, graph energy, minimum edge covering eigenvalues.
