1. Introduction

The study of spectral graph theory explores connections between the algebraic characteristics of the spectra of specific matrices associated with a graph. Various matrices, including the Laplacian matrix, incidence matrix, adjacency matrix, and distance matrix, are connected to a graph.

The idea of graph energy originated in quantum chemistry in 1930 when E. Huckel introduced the chemical applications of graph theory in molecular orbital theory for the π-electron network of conjugated hydrocarbons, leading to the discovery of eigenvalues.

In [1], the distance spectrum and distance energy of some families of graphs are calculated. Hampiholi in [2] presents results for different energies for the shadow graph. In [3], the author defines maximum reverse degree energy, provides some properties, and generates results for this energy for some families. In [4], the maximum degree energy of a graph is defined, and bounds for its results are given. [5] establishes relations between the maximum energy and minimum energy of the shadow and splitting graphs of a graph. In [6], the characteristic polynomial of the minimum degree matrix of graphs obtained by certain graph operations is discussed, along with bounds for the largest minimum degree eigenvalue and minimum degree energy of graphs. [7] provides the energy of a graph class in terms of another graph class after removing a vertex. In [8], the corresponding energy of a given graph G is expressed as a multiple of various graph energies of the regular splitting graph S(G). Numerous applications of graph theory in computer science and engineering are detailed in [9]. [10] proves that the splitting graph S(G) is a Zagreb hyper-energetic graph. In [11], various lower and upper bounds for graph energy E(G) are derived. [12] presents bounds and characterizations on the largest eigenvalue of the Sombor matrix S(G) and Sombor energy of graphs. Statistical information on the research of graph energies and their applications is provided in [13]. [14] introduces the Sombor characteristic polynomial and the Sombor energy for some graph classes. In [15], the author establishes the relationship between energy and Sombor energy of the m-splitting graph and m-shadow graph of a k-regular graph. [16] calculates average degree eigenvalues and average degree energy for some families of graphs. In [17], Kousar and Nazeer present results for numerous graph energies of the regular subdivision graph and complete graph. The study of the energies of some classes of non-regular graphs is shown in [18].

This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the results of the maximum degree energy of the splitting graph and shadow graph of a complete graph after removing a vertex. Section 3 discusses the results of the maximum reverse degree energy of the splitting graph and shadow graph of a complete graph after removing a vertex.

2. Preliminaries

Let G be a simple, undirected and finite graph and let its vertex set and edge set be denoted by V(G)={v1,v2,v3,,vp} and E(G)={e1,e2,e3,,eq} respectively. The number of edges associated with a vertex v of a graph G is called the degree of vertex v and is denoted by dv or d(v) [19].

Let λ1,λ2,λ3,,λk be the eigenvalues of G. Gutman in 1978 [20] defined the energy of the graph G as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of G. Therefore, E(G)=i=1k|λi|.

The maximum degree matrix Me(G)=[Mij] [4] of G is defined as [Mij]={max(di,dj),if vi and vj are adjacent;0,otherwise.

Adiga defined the maximum degree energy M(G) of a simple connected graph G as the sum of the absolute values of eigenvalues of the maximum degree matrix M[ij] of G.

Let Δ(G) denote the maximum degree among the vertices of G. The reverse vertex degree of a vertex vi in G is defined as cvi=Δ(G)d(vi)+1 where d(vi) is the degree of vertex vi. Then the maximum reverse degree matrix is defined as MR(G)=(rij) [3], where [rij]={max(ci,cj),if vi and vj areadjacent;0,otherwise.

The maximum reverse degree energy MR(G) of a simple connected graph G is the sum of the absolute values of eigenvalues of the maximum reverse degree matrix r[ij] of G.

3. Maximum Degree Energy of Complete Graph

Theorem 1. For the complete graph Kn with n4, the maximum degree energy Me(Kn) is given by Me(Kn)=2deg(v)2, where v is any vertex.

Proof. The conclusion is derived from the fundamental properties of complete graphs Kn, where each vertex shares an edge with every other vertex, resulting in a degree of (n1) for each vertex.

Vertices (n4) Degree deg(Kn) Maximum Degree Energy Me(Kn)
n=4 deg(K4)=3 Me(K4)=18
n=5 deg(K5)=4 Me(K5)=32
n=6 deg(K6)=5 Me(K6)=50
nth deg(Kn)=n1 Me(Kn)=2deg(v)2

 ◻

Theorem 2. For a complete graph Kn with n4, the maximum degree energy Me(Kn) satisfies the relation Me[Kn]=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[Knv].

Proof. Consider a complete graph Kn where each vertex shares exactly one edge with every other vertex, resulting in a degree of (n1) for each vertex. We will prove the given relation using mathematical induction.

Basic step: Let n=5, then Me[K5]=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[K5v].=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[K4].=(43)2(18)=32=Me[K5]. Hence, the result holds for n=5.

Induction hypothesis: Assume that the result holds for n=m, i.e., Me[Km]=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[Kmv]=((m1)(m2))2Me[Km1].

Induction step: Now, we prove the result for n=(m+1). Me[Km+1]=(mm1)2Me[Km]=(mm1)2(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[Kmv]=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2(mm1)2Me[Km1]=(m1m2)2(mm1)2Me[Km1]=(mm1)2(m1m2)2Me[Km1] (1)=(deg(v)deg(v)1)2Me[Km]. Eq. (1) demonstrates that the result holds for n=(m+1).

Since mathematical induction performs the basis and induction steps, the result holds for all n5.

Vertices (n5) Me(Kn) Me(Knv)
n=5 Me(K5)=32 Me(K5v)=18
n=6 Me(K6)=50 Me(K6v)=32
n=7 Me(K7)=72 Me(K7v)=50
n=8 Me(K8)=98 Me(K8v)=72

 ◻

Corollary 1. For n5, the difference in energy between a complete graph Kn and its vertex deletion Knv is given by Me(Kn)Me(Knv)=4n+14.

Vertices (n5) Me(Kn) Me(Knv) Difference
n=5 Me(K5)=32 Me(K5v)=18 14
n=6 Me(K6)=50 Me(K6v)=32 18
n=7 Me(K7)=72 Me(K7v)=50 22
n=8 Me(K8)=98 Me(K8v)=72 26

4. Maximum Degree Energy of Splitting Graph

Theorem 3. For the splitting graph Sp(Knv), where n4, we have Me(Sp(Knv))=25Me(Kn1).

Proof. Consider a complete graph K6, where K6v denotes the deletion of a vertex from K6 and Sp(K6v) represents the splitting graph. To demonstrate that Me(Sp(K6v))=25Me(K61), we calculate the energy of Sp(K6v).

Me(Sp(K6v))=[0888808888808888088888088880888880888808888808888008888000008088800000880880000088808000008888000000]

The characteristic polynomial of Me(Sp(K6v)) is: λ101920λ840960λ720480λ6+5111808λ5+13107200λ4293601280λ325168240λ2+8053063680λ17179869184=0.

The eigenvalues are: λ1=51.7771,λ2=λ3=λ4=λ5=4.9443,λ6=λ7=λ8=λ9=12.9443,λ10=19.7771.

Thus, the spectral matrix Spec(Me(Sp(K6v))) is: (19.777112.94434.944351.77711441)

Hence, Me(Sp(K6v))=143.1084=25Me(Sp(K5))=25Me(K6v).

Me(Kn) Me(Sp(Knv)) Me(Knv)=25Me(Kn1)
Me(K6)=50 Me(Sp(K6v))=143.1084 Me(Sp(K6v))=25(32)
Me(K7)=72 Me(Sp(K7v))=223.6068 Me(Sp(K7v))=25(50)
Me(K8)=98 Me(Sp(K8v))=321.9938 Me(Sp(K8v))=25(72)
Me(K9)=128 Me(Sp(K9v))=438.2698 Me(Sp(K9v))=25(98)

 ◻

5. Maximum Degree Energy of Shadow Graph

Theorem 4. For a complete graph Kn with n6, the maximum degree energy of its shadow graph is given by Me(D(Knv))=4Me(Kn1).

Proof. Consider a complete graph K6. Let K6v denote the deletion of a vertex from K6, and let D(K6v) represent its shadow graph. We aim to demonstrate that Me(D(K6v))=4Me(K6v).

The maximum degree energy matrix Me(D(K6v)) for K6v is as follows: [0888808888808888088888088880888880888808888808888008888088888088880888880888808888808888088888088880]

The characteristic polynomial of Me(D(K6v)) is λ102560λ88190λ7983040λ64194304λ5=0.

Its eigenvalues are λ1=64, λ2=8.5850e15, λ3=5.3785e15, λ4=3.8317e15, λ5=1.1914e15, λ6=4.3013e15, λ7=λ8=λ9=λ10=16. Thus, Spec(Me(D(K6v)))=(164.3013e151.1914e153.8317e155.3785e158.5850e15644111111)

Therefore, Me(D(K6v))=128=4Me(K5)=4Me(K6v).

The Table below demonstrates the relationship between the maximum degree energies of the complete graph and its shadow graph after vertex deletion:

Me(Kn) Me(D(Knv)) Me(D(Knv))=4Me(Kn1)
Me(K6)=50 Me(D(K6v))=128 Me(D(K6v))=4(32)
Me(K7)=72 Me(D(K7v))=200 Me(D(K7v))=4(50)
Me(K8)=98 Me(D(K8v))=288 Me(D(K8v))=4(72)
Me(K9)=128 Me(D(K9v))=392 Me(D(K9v))=4(98)

6. Maximum Reverse Degree Energy of Complete Graph

Theorem 5. For the complete graph Kn with n4, we have MR[Kn]=2(n1), where v is any vertex.

Proof. The conclusion follows from the definition of a complete graph Kn, where each vertex has the same degree (n1).

Vertices (n4) deg(Kn) MR(Kn)
n=4 deg(K4)=3 MR(K4)=6
n=5 deg(K5)=4 MR(K5)=8
n=6 deg(K6)=5 MR(K6)=10
nth deg(Kn)=n1 MR(Kn)=2(n1)

 ◻

7. Maximum Reverse Degree Energy of Complete Graph

Theorem 6. For a complete graph Kn where n4, MR[Kn]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Knv].

Proof. Consider a complete graph Kn where each vertex has degree (n1), and exactly one edge is shared by every pair of vertices. We utilize the principle of mathematical induction to prove this conclusion.

Base step: Let n=5. Then, MR[K5]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[K5v]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[K5v]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[K4]=43(6)=8=MR[K5]. Hence, the result is true for n=5.

Induction hypothesis: Assume that the result holds for n=m. Then, MR[Km]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Kmv]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Km1]=(m1)(m2)MR[Km1].

Induction step: Now, we prove the result for n=(m+1). That is, MR[Km+1]=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Km+1v]. Consider MR[Km+1]=mm1MR[Km]=(mm1)deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Kmv]=deg(v)deg(v)1(mm1)MR[Km1]=(m1m2)(mm1)MR[Km1]=(mm1)(m1m2)MR[Km1] (2)=deg(v)deg(v)1MR[Km]. The Eq. (2) demonstrates that the result is accurate for n=(m+1).

Eq. (2) is true because mathematical induction performs the basis and induction stages. Hence, the result holds for all n5.

Vertices (n5) MR(Kn) MR(Knv)
n=5 MR(K5)=8 MR(K5v)=6
n=6 MR(K6)=10 MR(K6v)=8
n=7 MR(K7)=12 MR(K7v)=10
n=8 MR(K8)=14 MR(K8v)=12

 ◻

Corollary 2. The energy difference between a complete graph Kn and its vertex deletion Knv is equal to 2 for n5: MR(Kn)MR(Knv)=2.

Vertices (n5) MR(Kn) MR(Knv) Difference
n=5 MR(K5)=8 MR(K5v)=6 2
n=6 MR(K6)=10 MR(K6v)=8 2
n=7 MR(K7)=12 MR(K7v)=10 2
n=8 MR(K8)=14 MR(K8v)=12 2

8. Maximum Reverse Degree Energy of Splitting Graph

Theorem 7. For a complete graph Kn where n4, MR(Sp(Knv))=4n2+1MR(Kn1).

Proof. Consider a complete graph K6, where K6v is the deletion of a vertex from K6, and Sp(K6v) is a splitting graph. We aim to prove that MR(Sp(K6v))=4n2+1MR(K61).

MR(Sp(K6v))=[0111105555101115055511011550551110155505111105555005555000005055500000550550000055505000005555000000]

The characteristic polynomial of MR(Sp(K6v)) is λ10510λ81520λ7+42235λ6+111996λ51468750λ42787500λ3+24140625λ2+23437500λ15620000=0. Its eigenvalues are λ1=22.0998,λ2=λ3=λ4=λ5=4.5249,λ6=λ7=λ8=λ9=5.5249,λ10=18.0998.

Spec(Me(Sp(K6v)))=(18.09985.52494.524922.09981441)

Thus, MR(Sp(K6v))=80.3990=4n2+1MR(K5)=4n2+1MR(K6v).

MR(Kn) MR(Sp(Knv)) MR(Knv)=4n2+1MR(Kn1)
MR(K6)=10 MR(Sp(K6v))=80.3990 MR(Sp(K6v))=4n2+1(8)
MR(K7)=12 MR(Sp(K7v))=120.4159 MR(Sp(K7v))=4n2+1(10)
MR(K8)=14 MR(Sp(K8v))=168.4280 MR(Sp(K8v))=4n2+1(12)
MR(K9)=16 MR(Sp(K9v))=224.4371 MR(Sp(K9v))=4n2+1(14)

9. Maximum Reverse Degree Energy of Shadow Graph

Theorem 8. For a complete graph Kn where n4, MR(D(Knv))=2nMR(Kn1).

Proof. Consider a complete graph K6, where K6v is the deletion of a vertex from K6, and D(K6v) is a shadow graph. We aim to prove that MR(D(K6v))=2nMR(K6v).

MR(D(K6v))=[0111105555101115055511011550551110155505111105555005555011115055510111550551101155505111015555011110]

The characteristic polynomial of MR(D(K6v)) is λ10520λ83040λ7+34320λ6+203392λ51036800λ44792320λ3+17141760λ2+39813120λ127401984=0. Its eigenvalues are λ1=24,λ2=λ3=λ4=λ5=4,λ6=λ7=λ8=λ9=6,λ10=16.

Spec(MR(D(K6v)))=(1664241441)

Thus, MR(D(K6v))=80=2nMR(K5)=2nMR(K6v).

MR(Kn) MR(D(Knv)) MR(D(Knv))=2nMR(Kn1)
MR(K6)=10 MR(D(K6v))=80 MR(D(K6v))=2n(8)
