The commuting graph of a finite non-abelian group G with center Z(G), denoted by Γc(G), is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is G∖Z(G), and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy=yx. Alwardi et al. (Bulletin, 2011, 36, 49-59) defined the common neighborhood matrix CN(G) and the common neighborhood energy Ecn(G) of a simple graph G. A graph G is called CN-hyperenergetic if Ecn(G)>Ecn(Kn), where n=|V(G)| and Kn denotes the complete graph on n vertices. Two graphs G and H with equal number of vertices are called CN-equienergetic if Ecn(G)=Ecn(H). In this paper we compute the common neighborhood energy of Γc(G) for several classes of finite non-abelian groups, including the class of groups such that the central quotient is isomorphic to group of symmetries of a regular polygon, and conclude that these graphs are not CN-hyperenergetic. We shall also obtain some pairs of finite non-abelian groups such that their commuting graphs are CN-equienergetic.
The commuting graph of a non-commutative ring R with center Z(R) is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is R \ Z(R) and two vertices x, y are adjacent if and only if xy = yx. In this paper, we compute the spectrum and genus of commuting graphs of some classes of finite rings.
The commuting graph of a finite non-abelian group G with center Z(G), denoted by Γc(G), is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is G∖Z(G), and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy=yx. In this paper, we compute the common neighborhood spectrum of commuting graphs of several classes of finite non-abelian groups and conclude that these graphs are CN-integral.
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.
