Introduction

5. Graph theory is an important branch of combinatorial mathematics and focuses on the study of
graphs as a means of modeling complex systems.
The word "graph" describes a collection of vertices connected by edges, and these structures
can represent a variety of real-world scenarios, whether it's a social network, a road in a city, or
molecules in chemistry. Order of a graph is the number of vertices in the graph. Size of a graph
is the number of edges in the graph.
A graph basically consists of vertices (or nodes) and edges (connections between nodes).
Formally, a graph can be represented as G = (V, E); where V represents a set of vertices and E
represents a set of edges.
Introduction

6. A graph that have nonempty set of vertices connected at most by one edge is called simple
graph. When simple graphs are not efficient to model a cituation, we consider multigraphs.
They allow multiple edges between two vertices. If that is not enough, we consider
pseudographs. They allow edges connect a vertex to itself.
Introduction

7. Graphs can be characterized in different ways, like as directed and undirected graphs.
Undirected Graphs: In this type of graph, the edges are represented in two-way relationships
but without specified direction.
Directed Graphs: in this type of graph the edges are represented in one-way relationship. Edges
has specified direction, which indicate one-way relationship.
Introduction

8. The field of spectrogram theory involves the analysis of graphs through their spectral properties,
which can provide important information about the structure and behavior of networks. The basis
of this research is graph-related matrices, especially adjacency matrices and Laplace matrices.
The adjacency matrix is a matrix of rows and columns labeled with graph vertices, where
positions (vi,vj) are 1 or 0, depending on whether vi and vj are adjacent. For simple graphs
without self-loops, there must be 0 on the diagonal of the adjacency matrix.
The Laplace matrix L is defined as L = D − A; where D is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees.
The eigenvalues ​​of the Laplace matrix are invaluable for analyzing the connectivity of graphs.
Introduction

9. Friendship graphs are a class of graphs where each pair of vertices shares exactly one common
neighbor. They are used to model social networks, collaboration networks, and other real-world
systems.
Spectrum is the set of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph. Energy is the sum of the
absolute values of the eigenvalues. ​In graph theory, a graph is composed of vertices (nodes) and
edges (connections), with various types including undirected, directed, complete, bipartite, and
sparse graphs.
Spectral graph theory utilizes matrices to capture properties of graphs; the adjacency matrix
represents direct connectivity between vertices, while the Laplacian matrix is employed to
analyze graph connectivity. Additionally, the signless Laplacian matrix focuses on studying
spectral characteristics and determining graph bipartiteness.

Introduction

12. This work explored the spectral properties of friendship graphs, highlighting
their unique eigenvalue distributions and applications in network robustness.

compared to other graph classes, such as regular graphs and random graphs.

13. This work investigated the energy of graphs with high clustering coefficients,
showing a strong correlation between energy and network resilience. The authors
proved that graphs with higher clustering coefficients tend to have higher energy
values, which indicates greater structural stability. They also proposed a method

resilience is critical. [2]

15. This work analyzed the relationship between graph diameter and energy,
demonstrating that smaller diameters often lead to higher energy values. The

framework for predicting graph energy based on diameter and other parameters.
