On unicyclic conjugated molecules with minimal energies

摘要

The energy of a graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all the eigenvalues of the graph. Let U(k) be the set of all unicyclic graphs with a perfect matching. Let C g(G) be the unique cycle of G with length g(G), and M(G) be a perfect matching of G. Let U 0(k) be the subset of U(k) such that g(G)≡ 0 (mod 4), there are just g/2 independence edges of M(G) in C g(G) and there are some edges of E(G) M(G) in G C g(G) for any G∈U 0(k). In this paper, we discuss the graphs with minimal and second minimal energies in U *(k) = U(k) U 0(k), the graph with minimal energy in U 0(k), and propose a conjecture on the graph with minimal energy in U(k).
