Abstract

Let G be a graph on n vertices and let λ"1,λ"2,.,λ(n) be its eigenvalues. The energy of G is defined as E(G)=|λ"1|+|λ"2|+⋯+|λ(n)|. For various classes of unicyclic graphs, the graphs with maximal energy are determined. Let P(n)^6 be obtained by connecting a vertex of the circuit C"6 with a terminal vertex of the path P(n-6). For n≥7, P(n)^6 has the maximal energy among all connected unicyclic bipartite n-vertex graphs, except the circuit C(n).
