Abstract: | |||||
The energy of a graph G, denoted by E(G), is defined as the
sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of G. It is proved
that E(G) ≥ 2(n − X(―G)) ≥ 2(ch(G) − 1) for
every graph G of order n, and that E(G) ≥ 2ch(G) for all
graphs G except for those in a few specified families, where
―G, X(G), and ch(G) are the complement, the
chromatic number, and the choice number of G, respectively.
