Bell {\\it et al.} have characterized the minimizing graphs in the class of connected graphs of order $n$ and size $m$, whose complements are either disconnected or contain a clique of order at least $n/2$. In this paper we discuss the minimizing graphs of a special class of graphs of order $n$ whose complements are connected and contains exactly one cycle (namely the the class $\\mathscr {U}^{c}_{n}$ of graphs whose complements are unicyclic), and characterize the unique minimizing graph in $\\mathscr {U}^{c}_{n}$ when $n \\geq 20$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-19T01:50:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50", "05D05", "15A18" ], "keywords": [ "complements", "eigenvalue", "adjacency matrix", "unique minimizing graph", "graph attains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.4317W" } } }
