Abstract:

The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero in its spectrum. A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges. In this paper, we apply the coefficient theorem on the characteristic polynomial of a signed graph and give two formulae on the nullity of signed graphs with cut-points. As applications of the above results, we investigate the nullity of the bicyclic signed graph , obtain the nullity set of unbalanced bicyclic signed graphs, and thus determine the nullity set of bicyclic signed graphs.
