Product of adjacency matrices and connected graphs
Let $G$ and $ H$ be two graphs on the same vertex set (i.e. $V(G)=V(H)$).
Suppose that $K$ is the graph with adjacency matrix $A_G\times A_H$, where $A_G$ and $A_H$ are adjacency matrix of $G$ and $H$,...

Solution to the sum of k-step path lengths between node pairs in directed weighted graphs
In a non weighted graph, the adjacency matrix ($A$) raised to the power $k$ will return the number of k-step paths between nodes $i$ and $j$ at the entry $a_{ij}$. Is there an equivalent for weighted ...

Formulas to determine the value of graph energy with addition or deletion of edges
If $G$ is a graph, then the graph energy of $G$ denoted by $E(G)$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$. It is known that $E(G)\geq E(G-v)$, where $ ...

Traces and closed walks that do not close before their time
Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of a graph. Then, as is well-known and trivial to show, $\mathrm{Tr} A^k$ equals the number of closed walks of length $k$.
Is there a similar way to express (a) the ...
