The minimum semidefinite rank (msr) of a graph is defined to be the minimum rank among all positive semidefinite matrices whose zero/ nonzero pattern corresponds to that graph. We recall some known facts and present new results, including results concerning the effects of vertex or edge removal from a graph on msr.
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.
