ABSTRACT A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where G is the underlying graph of . Let denote the adjacency matrix of , and be the adjacency matrix of G. The rank of G (resp. ), written as (resp. ), refers to the rank of (resp. )). A natural and interesting problem is: What is the relation between the rank of a signed graph and the rank of its underlying graph? In this paper, we focus our attention on this problem. Sharp lower bounds and upper bounds on are determined. All the corresponding extremal signed graphs are characterized, respectively.
