A partial orientation $\\sigma$ of $G$ respect to $T$ is an orientation of the edges of $G$ except those edges of $T$, the resulting graph associated with which is denoted by $G_T^\\sigma$. In this paper we prove that there exists a partial orientation $\\sigma$ of $G$ respect to $T$ such that the largest eigenvalue of the Hermitian adjacency matrix of $G_T^\\sigma$ is at most the largest absolute value of the roots of the matching polynomial of $G$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-18T04:07:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50" ], "keywords": [ "partial orientation", "largest eigenvalue", "mixed graph", "hermitian adjacency matrix", "largest absolute value" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
