The Hoffman program with respect to any real or complex square matrix M associated to a graph G stems from Hoffman's pioneering work on the limit points for the spectral radius of adjacency matrices of graphs does not exceed 2 + √ 5. A signed graph Ġ = (G, σ) is a pair (G, σ), where G = (V, E) is a simple graph and σ : E(G) → {+1, −1} is the sign function. In this paper, we study the Hoffman program of signed graphs. Here, all signed graphs whose spectral radius does not exceed 2 + √ 5 will be identified.
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.
