In his survey "Beyond graph energy: Norms of graphs and matrices" [23], Nikiforov proposed two problems concerning characterizing the graphs that attain equality in a lower bound and in a upper bound for the energy of a graph, respectively. We show that these graphs have at most two nonzero distinct absolute eigenvalues and investigate the proposed problems organizing our study according to the type of spectrum they can have. In most cases all graphs are characterized. Infinite families of graphs are given otherwise. We also show that all graphs satifying the properties required in the problems are integral, except for complete bipartite graphs K p,q and disconnected graphs with a connected component K p,q , where p q is not a perfect square.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
