Seidel adjacency matrix

In mathematics, in graph theory, the Seidel adjacency matrix of a simple undirected graph G is a symmetric matrix with a row and column for each vertex, having 0 on the diagonal, −1 for positions whose rows and columns correspond to adjacent vertices, and +1 for positions corresponding to non-adjacent vertices.

The Seidel matrix of G is also the adjacency matrix of a signed complete graph KG in which the edges of G are negative and the edges not in G are positive.

It is also the adjacency matrix of the two-graph associated with G and KG.

The eigenvalue properties of the Seidel matrix are valuable in the study of strongly regular graphs.
