A note on skew spectrum of graphs
We give some properties of skew spectrum of a graph, especially, we answer
negatively a problem concerning the skew characteristic polynomial and matching
polynomial in [M. Cavers et al., Skew-adjacency matrices of graphs, Linear

A survey on the skew energy of oriented graphs
Let be a simple undirected graph with adjacency matrix . The energy
of is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of ,
which was introduced by Gutman in 1970s. Since graph energy has important
chemical applications, it causes great concern and has many generalizations.
The skew energy and skew energy-like are the generalizations in oriented
graphs. Let be an oriented graph of with skew adjacency matrix
. The skew energy of , denoted by
, is defined as the sum of the norms of all
eigenvalues of , which was introduced by Adiga, Balakrishnan and
So in 2010. In this paper, we summarize main results on the skew energy of
oriented graphs. Some open problems are proposed for further study. Besides,
results on the skew energy-like: the skew Laplacian energy and skew Randi\'{c}
energy are also surveyed at the end.Comment: This will appear as a chapter in Mathematical Chemistry Monograph
