Abstract. The concept of energy of a graph was put forward by I. Gutman in (1978). The characteristic polynomial of a graph G with p vertices is defined as φ(G : λ) = det(λI − A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and I is the unit matrix. The roots of the characteristic equation φ(G : λ) = 0, denoted by λ 1 , λ 2 , . . . , λp are the eigenvalues of G. The energy E = E(G) of a graph G is defined asThe graphs with large number of edges are referred as graph representation of inorganic clusters, called as cluster graphs. In this paper we obtain the characteristic polynomial and energy of class of cluster graphs which are termed as complement of stars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
