In this paper, we define the edge C k signed graph of a given signed graph and shown that for any signed graph Σ, its edge C k signed graph E k (Σ) is balanced. We then give structural characterization of edge C k signed graphs. Further, we obtain a structural characterization of signed graphs that are switching equivalent to their the edge C k signed graphs.
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.
