On the energy and spectral properties of the he matrix of hexagonal systems
The He matrix, put forward by He and He in 1989, is designed as a means for uniquely representing the structure of a hexagonal system (= benzenoid graph). Observing that the He matrix is just the adjacency matrix of a pertinently weighted inner dual of the respective hexagonal system, we establish a number of its spectral properties. Afterwards, we discuss the number of eigenvalues equal to zero of the He matrix of a hexagonal system. Moreover, we obtain a relation between the number of triangles...
