A compromise between the concept of graph and hypergraph is semigraph. This paper introduced the concept of minimum covering matrix and minimum covering energy of a semigraph G. The minimum covering energy is the summation of singular values of the minimum covering matrix. Upper and lower bounds for minimum covering energy are established and also derive some relationship between minimum covering energy and energy of semigraph G.
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.
