Abstract

The energy of a graph G, denoted by E(G), is the sum of the absolute

values of all eigenvalues of G. In this paper we present some lower

and upper bounds for E(G) in terms of number of vertices, number

of edges, and determinant of the adjacency matrix. Our lower bound

is better than the classical McClelland’s lower bound. In addition,

Nordhaus–Gaddum type results for E(G) are established.
