Class of all graphs with invertible adjacency matrices

322 Views Asked by At

This question is a generalization of the question asked here.

From the answers of the questions, I can list four classes of graphs which have invertible adjacency matrices.

  1. The class of graphs $nK_2$
  2. Given a permutation $\pi$ of a finite set $V$, its cycle graph $G$ can be defined as follows: the vertex set is $V$ and the edges are pairs $(v,w)$ for which $\pi(v)=w$. This is a simple directed graph. The adjacency matrix will be the permutation matrix corresponding to $\pi$, which is invertible. The class of all such graphs.
  3. Graphs with loops whose adjacency matrices are upper triangular: we take the vertex set $\{1,\cdots,n\}$ and adjoin edges $i\to j$ as one wishes but only when $i\le j$ (and of course we have to make sure every vertex has at least one loop).
  4. Graphs with adjacency matrices which are diagonal with non-zero entries

Is there a systematic way to generate the group of all invertible adjacency matrices?
