Determinants of adjacency matrices of some graphs

The adjacency matrix of a graph G having vertices x1, x2,...,xn is the n x n matrix A(G)m= [aij] where aij = 1 if xi is adjacent to xj and xij = 0 otherwise. We say that a graph is singular if its adjacency matrix is singular; otherwise we say that it is non-singular. Formulas for the determinant of...

Description
Summary:The adjacency matrix of a graph G having vertices x1, x2,...,xn is the n x n matrix A(G)m= [aij] where aij = 1 if xi is adjacent to xj and xij = 0 otherwise. We say that a graph is singular if its adjacency matrix is singular; otherwise we say that it is non-singular. Formulas for the determinant of some types of graphs such as combs, crowns, sparks, and the star paths are shown in this paper and thus determining when these graphs are singular.
