Abstract

The energy of an (edge)-weighted graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its (weighted) adjacency matrix. We study how the energy of a weighted graph changes when the weights change. We give some sufficient conditions so that the energy of a weighted graph increases when the positive weight increases. We also characterize some classes of weighted graphs satisfying these sufficient conditions.
