0, 1-Brauer Configuration Algebras and Their Applications in Graph Energy Theory

The energy E (G) of a graph G is the sum of the absolute values of its adjacency matrix. In contrast, the trace norm of a digraph Q, which is the sum of the singular values of the corresponding adjacency matrix, is the oriented version of the energy of a graph. It is worth pointing out that one of the main problems in this theory consists of determining appropriated bounds of these types of energies for significant classes of graphs, digraphs and matrices, provided that, in general, finding out their exact values is a problem of great difficulty. In this paper, the trace norm of a 0, 1-Brauer configuration is introduced. It is estimated and computed by associating suitable families of graphs and posets to Brauer configuration algebras.
