[I]t should be borne in mind that incompleteness is a necessary concomitant of every collection of whatever kind.  Much less can completeness be expected in a first collection, made by a single individual, in his leisure hours, and in a field which is already boundless and is yet expanding day by day.

\centerline {\bf Preface}

\bigskip

A {\it signed graph} is a graph whose edges are labeled by signs.  This is a bibliography of signed graphs and related mathematics.

Several kinds of labelled graph have been called ``signed'' yet are mathematically very different.  I distinguish four types:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\it Group-signed graphs}: the edge labels are elements of a $2$-element group and are multiplied around a circle (or along any walk).
Among the natural generalizations are larger groups and vertex signs.
\item {\it Sign-colored graphs}, in which the edges are labelled from a two-element set that is acted upon by the sign group: $-$ interchanges labels, $+$ leaves them unchanged.  
This is the kind of ``signed graph'' found in knot theory.  The natural generalization is to more colors and more general groups---or no group.
\item {\it Weighted graphs}, in which the edge labels are the elements $+1$ and $-1$ of the integers or another additive domain.  
Weights behave like numbers, not signs; thus I regard work on weighted graphs as outside the scope of the bibliography---except (to some extent) when the author calls the weights ``signs''.
\item Labelled graphs where the labels have no structure or properties but are called ``signs'' for any or no reason.
\end{itemize}

Each of these categories has its own theory or theories, generally very different from the others, so in a logical sense the topic of this bibliography is an accident of terminology.  
However, narrow logic here leads us astray, for the study of true signed graphs, which arise in numerous areas of pure and applied mathematics, forms the great majority of the literature.  
Thus I regard as fundamental for the bibliography the notions of {\it balance} of a circle (sign product equals $+$, the sign group identity) and the vertex-edge incidence matrix (whose column for a negative edge has two $+1$'s or two $-1$'s, for a positive edge one $+1$ and one $-1$, the rest being zero); this has led me to include work on {\it gain graphs} (where the edge labels are taken from any group) and ``consistency'' in {\it vertex-signed graphs}, and generalizable work on two-graphs (the set of unbalanced triangles of a signed complete graph) and on even and odd circles and paths in graphs and digraphs.

Nevertheless, it was not always easy to decide what belongs.  I have employed the following principles:

Only works with mathematical content are entered, except for a few representative purely applied papers and surveys.  I do try to include:

\begin{itemize}
\item{$\bullet$}Any (mathematical) work in which signed graphs are mentioned by name or signs are put on the edges of graphs, regardless of whether it makes essential use of signs.  
(However, due to lack of time and in order to maintain ``balance'' in the bibliography, I have included only a limited selection of items concerning binary clutters and postman theory, two-graphs, signed digraphs in qualitative matrix theory, and knot theory.  
For clutters, see Cornu\'ejols (2001a); for postman theory, A.\ Frank (1996a).  For two-graphs, see any of the review articles by Seidel.  For qualitative matrix theory, see e.g.\ Maybee and Quirk (1969a) and Brualdi and Shader (1995a).  For knot theory there are uncountable books and surveys.)

\item{$\bullet$}Any work in which the notion of balance of a circle plays a role.  Example: gain graphs.  (Exception:  purely topological papers concerning ordinary graph embedding.)

\item{$\bullet$}Any work in which ideas of signed graph theory are anticipated, or generalized, or transferred to other domains.  Examples:  vertex-signed graphs; signed posets and matroids.

\item{$\bullet$}Any mathematical structure that is an example, however disguised, of a signed or gain graph or generalization, and is treated in a way that seems in the spirit of signed graph theory.  Examples:  even-cycle and bicircular matroids; bidirected graphs; binary clutters (which are equivalent to signed binary matroids); some of the literature on two-graphs and double covering graphs.

\item{$\bullet$}And some works that have suggested ideas of value for signed graph theory or that have promise of doing so in the future.
\end{itemize}

As for applications, besides works with appropriate mathematical content I include a few (not very carefully) selected representatives of less mathematical papers and surveys, either for their historical importance (e.g., Heider (1946a)) or as entrances to the applied literature (e.g., Taylor (1970a) and Wasserman and Faust (1993a) for psychosociology and Trinajstic (1983a) for chemistry).  Particular difficulty is presented by spin glass theory in statistical physics---that is, Ising models and generalizations.  Here one usually averages random signs and weights over a probability distribution; the problems and methods are rarely graph-theoretic, the topic is very specialized and hard to annotate properly, but it clearly is related to signed (and gain) graphs and suggests some interesting lines of graph-theoretic research.  See M\'ezard, Parisi, and Virasoro (1987a) and citations in its annotation.

Plainly, judgment is required to apply these criteria.  I have employed mine freely, taking account of suggestions from my colleagues.  Still I know that the bibliography is far from complete, due to the quantity and even more the enormous range and dispersion of work in the relevant areas.  I will continue to add both new and old works to future editions and I heartily welcome further suggestions.

There are certainly many errors, some of them egregious.  For these I hand over responsibility to Sloth, Pride, Ambition, Envy, and Confusion.  (Corrections, however, will be gratefully accepted by me.)  And as Diedrich Knickerbocker says:

\begin{quote}
{\small Should any reader find matter of offense in this [bibliography], I should heartily grieve, though I would on no acount question his penetration by telling him he was mistaken, his good nature by telling him he was captious, or his pure conscience by telling him he was startled at a shadow.  Surely when so ingenious in finding offense where none was intended, it were a thousand pities he should not be suffered to enjoy the benefit of his discovery.}

{\bf Bibliographical Data.}  Authors' names are given usually in only one form, even should the name appear in different (but recognizably similar) forms on different publications.  Journal abbreviations follow the style of {\it Mathematical Reviews} (MR) with minor `improvements'.  Reviews and abstracts are cited from MR and its electronic form MathSciNet, from {\it Zentralblatt f\"ur Mathematik} (Zbl) and its electronic version (For early volumes, ``Zbl VVV, PPP'' denotes printed volume and page; the electronic item number is ``(e VVV.PPPNN)''.), and occasionally from {\it Chemical Abstracts} (CA) or {\it Computing Reviews} (CR).  A review marked (\qv) has significance, possibly an insight, a criticism, or a viewpoint orthogonal to mine.

Some---not all---of the most fundamental works are marked with a \dag\dag; some almost as fundamental have a \dag.  This is a personal selection.

\bigskip

{\bf Annotations.}  I try to describe the relevant content in a consistent terminology and notation, in the language of signed graphs despite occasional clumsiness (hoping that this will suggest generalizations), and sometimes with my [bracketed] editorial comments.  I sometimes try also to explain idiosyncratic terminology, in order to make it easier to read the original item.  Several of the annotations incorporate open problems (of widely varying degrees of importance and difficulty).  

I use these standard symbols:
\bigskip

\spitem{$\Gamma$}  is a graph $(V,E)$ of order $n = |V|$, undirected, possibly allowing loops and multiple edges.  It is normally finite unless otherwise indicated.

\spitem{$\Sigma$}  is a signed graph $(V,E,\sigma)$ of order $n$.  $|\Sigma|$  is its underlying graph.  $E_+$, $E_-$ are the sets of positive and negative edges and $\Sigma_+$, $\Sigma_-$ are the corresponding spanning subgraphs (unsigned).

\spitem{$[\Sigma]$}  is the switching class of $\Sigma$.

\spitem{$A(\ )$}  is the adjacency matrix.

\spitem{$\incid(\ )$}  is the incidence matrix.

\spitem{$K(\ )$}  is the Kirchoff or Laplacian matrix, $\incid(\ )\incid(\ )\transpose$.

\spitem{$\lambda_1$} is the largest eigenvalue of a matrix.

\spitem{$\Phi$}  is a gain graph $(V,E,\phi)$.  $\|\Phi\|$  is its underlying graph.

\spitem{$[\Phi]$}  is the switching class of $\Phi$.

\spitem{$\sim$}  means that two signed or gain graphs are switching equivalent (with the same underlying graph).

\spitem{$\simeq$}  means that two signed or gain graphs are switching isomorphic (with isomorphic underlying graphs).

\spitem{$\cong$}  denotes isomorphism.

\spitem{$\bgr{\Sigma}$}  is the biased graph of $\Sigma$.

\spitem{$\bgr{\Phi}$}  is the biased graph of $\Phi$.

\spitem{$\Omega$}  is a biased graph.  $\|\Omega\|$  is its underlying graph.

\spitem{$l(\ )$}  is the frustration index (line index of imbalance).

\spitem{$l_0(\ )$}  is the frustration number (vertex frustration number, vertex elimination number).

\spitem{$G(\ )$}  is the frame (bias) matroid of a signed, gain, or biased graph.

\spitem{$L(\ ),L_0(\ )$}  are the lift and extended lift matroids.  

\spitem{$\Lambda(\ )$}  is a line graph.  $\Lambda(\Gamma)$ is that of a graph.  For a signed or gain graph, $\Lambda_{BC}$ is that of Behzad and Chartrand (1969a); $\Lambda_{\times}$ is that of M.~Acharya (2009a), $\Lambda$ is that of Zaslavsky (1979a, 1984c, 2010b, 20xxa).

\bigskip
Some standard terminology---much more will be found in the {\it Glossary} (Zaslavsky (1998c)):
\bigskip

\Spitem{polygon, circle:}The graph of a simple closed path, or its edge set.

\Spitem{cycle:}In a digraph, a coherently directed circle, i.e., ``dicycle''.  More generally: in an oriented signed, gain, or biased graph, a matroid circuit (usually, of the frame matroid) oriented to have no source or sink.

\bigskip

{\bf Acknowledgement.}  I cannot name all the people who have contributed advice and criticism, but many of the annotations have benefited from suggestions by the authors or others and a number of items have been brought to my notice by helpful correspondents.  I am very grateful to you all.  Thanks also to the people who maintain the invaluable MR and Zbl indices (and a special thank-you for creating our own MSC classification: 05C22).  However, I insist on my total responsibility for the final form of all entries, including such things as my restatement of results in signed or gain graphic language and, of course, all the praise and criticism (but not errors; see above) that they contain.

A suffix {\bf w} on \CSgnd, \CSG, \CSD, \CVS\ denotes signs used as weights, i.e., treated as the numbers $+1$ and $-1$, added, and (usually) the sum compared to $0$.
A suffix {\bf c} on \CSG, \CSD, \CVS\ denotes signs used as colors (often written as the numbers $+1$ and $-1$), usually permuted by the sign group.
In a string of codes a colon precedes subtopics.
A code may be refined through being suffixed by a parenthesized code, as \CSgnd(\CMatrd)\ denoting signed matroids (while \CSgnd:~\CMatrd\ would indicate matroids of signed objects; thus \CSgnd(\CMatrd):~\CMatrd\ means matroids of signed matroids).

\annot{$R(\Sigma)$} They introduce a modified adjacency matrix $R$, called the ``structure matrix'' [I call it the Abelson--Rosenberg adjacency matrix], with entries $o, p, n, a$ for, respectively, nonadjacency [$0$ in the usual adjacency matrix $A$], positive and negative adjacency [$+1$, $-1$ in $A$] and simultaneous positive and negative adjacency [$0$ or indeterminate in $A$].  
They define an algebra (i.e., associative, commutative, and distributive addition and multiplication) of these symbols (p.\ 8): $o$ acts as $0$, $p$ acts as $1$, $pn=n$, $n^2=p$, $a=p+n$, $x+x=x$ and $ax=a$ for $x \neq 0$.  In the algebra one can decide balance of $\Sigma$ via the permanent of $I + R$: $\Sigma$ is balanced if $\per(I+R) = p$ and unbalanced if $\per(I+R) = a$.  (The ``straightforward but space-consuming'' proof is omitted.  
They state that the permanent cannot equal $n$ or $o$ [but that is an error].)  [See Harary, Norman, and Cartwright (1965a) for more on this matrix, and Zaslavsky (2010b), Thm.\ 2.1, for a matrix with more precise counting properties.]  
They introduce switching in terms of the Hadamard product of $R$ with a ``passive $T$-matrix'' [oversimplifying, that is a matrix obtained by switching the square all-$p$'s matrix; the actual definition involves operators $s$ and $c$ and is more interesting].  Thm.\ 11: Switching preserves balance. 
\annotctd{} They propose (p.\ 12) ``complexity'' [= frustration index $l(\Sigma)$] as a measure of imbalance.  [\Cf\ Harary (1959b).]  Thm.\ 12:  Switching preserves frustration index.  Thm.\ 14:  $\max l(\Sigma)$, taken over all signed graphs $\Sigma$ of order $n$, equals $\lfloor (n - 1)^2/4 \rfloor$.  (Proof omitted.  [Proved by Petersdorf (1966a) and Tomescu (1973a) for signed $K_n$'s and hence for all signed simple graphs of order $n$.])

\annot{} Expounds the procedure of Katai and Iwai (1978a).  Proposes a generalization to those $\Sigma$ that have a certain kind of circle basis.  Construct a ``dual'' graph whose vertex set is a circle basis supplemented by the sum of basic circles.  A ``dual'' vertex has sign as in $\Sigma$.  Let $T =$ set of negative ``dual'' vertices.  A $T$-join in the ``dual'', if one exists, yields a negation set for $\Sigma$.  
[A minimum $T$-join need not yield a minimum negation set.  Indeed the procedure is unlikely to yield a minimum negation set (hence the frustration index $l(\Sigma)$) for all signed graphs, since it can be performed in polynomial time while $l(\Sigma)$ is NP-complete.  \Questions.  To which signed graphs is the procedure applicable?  For which ones does a minimum $T$-join yield a minimum negation set?  Do the latter include all those that forbid an interesting subdivision or minor (\cf\ Gerards and Schrijver (1986a), Gerards (1988a, 1989a))?]

\bsgitem{1983a}  A graph theoretical model for the analysis of intergroup stability in a social system.  Manuscript, 1983.  
\annot{} The first half (most of \S1) was improved and published as (1986a).
\annotctd{} The second half (\S\S2--3) appears to be unpublished.  Given; a graph $\Gamma$, a vertex signing $\mu$, and a covering $\cF$ of $E(\Gamma)$ by cliques of size $\leq 3$.  Define a signed graph $S$ by; $V(S) = \cF$ and $QQ' \in E(S)$ when at least half the elements of $Q$ or $Q'$ lie in $Q \cap Q'$; sign $QQ'$ negative iff there exist vertices $v \in Q \backslash Q'$, and $w \in Q' \backslash Q$ such that $\mu(v) \neq \mu(w)$.  Suppose there is no edge $QQ'$ in which $|Q| = 3$, $|Q'| = 2$, and the two members of $Q \backslash Q'$ have differing sign.  [This seems a very restrictive supposition.]  
Main result (Thm.\ 7):  $S$ is balanced.  The definitions, but not the theorem, are generalized to multiple vertex signs $\mu$, general clique covers, and clique adjacency rules that differ slightly from that of the theorem.

Thm.\ 2.1:  The line graph $\Lambda(|\Sigma|)$, with vertex signs $\sigma$, is consistent (as in Beineke and Harary 1978b) iff $\Sigma$ is balanced and, in $\Sigma$, a vertex of degree $\geq 4$ has only positive edges, while a trivalent vertex $v$ with negative edges has two such edges, which lie in every circle on $v$.
[Cor.:  Let $\Sigma$ be 2-connected.  $(\Lambda(|\Sigma|),\sigma)$ is consistent iff $\Sigma$ is balanced and every negative edge has endpoints of degree $\leq 2$.  \Problem.  Find a structural characterization, by means of which all such $\Sigma$ can be constructed.  Ear decomposition and Tutte's 3-decomposition should be the key.]

\annot{} Continues M.~Acharya (1981a).  A signed graph, or digraph, is ``cycle-balanced'' if every circle, or every cycle, is positive.  Graphs, or digraphs, are ``quasicospectral'' if they have cospectral signings, ``strictly quasicospectral'' if they are quasicospectral but not cospectral, ``strongly cospectral'' if they are cospectral and have cospectral cycle-unbalanced signings.  
There exist arbitrarily large sets of strictly quasicospectral digraphs, which moreover can be assumed strongly connected, weakly but not strongly connected, etc.  There exist pairs of unbalanced, strictly quasicospectral graphs; existence of larger sets is unsolved.  
There exist arbitrarily large sets of nonisomorphic, strongly cospectral connected graphs; also, of weakly connected digraphs, which moreover can be taken to be strongly connected, unilaterally connected, etc.  Proofs, based on ideas of A.J.\ Schwenk, are sketched.

\annot{} Physics of a random signed subgraph of $\Gamma$: $p, q, r =$ probabilities of $+$, $-$, or no edge.  $r=0$ is a randomly signed $\Gamma$.  $p=0$ is a random subgraph $-\Gamma_1$.  Edges may have weights but the signs are most significant (pp.\ L461--2).  Bipartite graphs (``simple systems, with two sublattices'') give easier results; e.g., switching exchanges $p$ and $q$, and transforms all-negative to all-positive.  Analysis by the replica method: replicate the graph randomly $n$ times.  For temperature $T\to0$:  The case $p=q$ has special properties.  The limit $r \to 0$ gives all-positive (ferromagnetic) behavior because ``only [constant states $\zeta: V \to \signnos$] contribute to the partition function.''  $T>0$:  Special cases for equal weights, similarly to Houtappel (1950b), Newell (1950a).  The replica method's limitations include failure at $T\to0$ when the signed subgraph is unbalanced (``frustrated'') (p.\ L463).

\annot{} Bounds for $D(\Gamma)$, the largest frustration index $l(\Gamma, \sigma)$ over all signings of a fixed graph $\Gamma$ (not necessarily simple) of order $n$ and size $m = |E|$.  Main Thm.: $\frac 12 m - \sqrt{mn} \leq D(\Gamma) \leq \frac 12 m$.  Thm.\ 4: $D(K_{t,t}) \leq \frac 12 t^2 - c_0 t^{3/2}$, where $c_0$ can be taken $= \pi/480$.  Probabilistic methods are used.  Thus, Thm.\ 2: Given $\Gamma$, Prob$(l(\Gamma, \sigma) > \frac 12 m - \sqrt{mn}) \geq 1 - (\frac 2e)^n$.  
Moreover, let $n_{\textb}(\Sigma)$ be the largest order of a balanced subgraph of $\Sigma$.  Thm.\ 5: Prob$(n_{\textb}(K_n, \sigma) \geq k) \leq {n \choose k}/2^{k \choose 2}$.  (The problem of evaluating $n - n_{\textb}$ was raised by Harary; see (1959b).)  Finally, Thm.\ 1:  If $\Sigma$ has vertex-disjoint balanced induced subgraphs with $m'$ edges, then $l(\Sigma) \leq \frac 12(m-m')$.

MR 2179924 (2006e:91124).
\annot{} Models for the evolution of a signed $K_n$ towards balance, with conclusions about the probable long-term behavior.  A ``state'' of the graph is a signature.  The unit of time $t$ is $|E| = \binom{n}{2}$ steps of the process.  The density of edges is $\rho := |E^+|/\binom{n}{2}$.  The number of triangles with $k$ negative edges (type $k$) is $N_k$; their density is $n_k := N_k / \binom{n}{3}$.  The average density of type $k$ triangles on a positive edge is $n_k^+ = (3-k)N_k/(n-2)|E^+| = (3-k)n_k/(3n_0+2n_1+n_2).$  Similarly, $n_k^- = k n_k/(3n_0+2n_1+n_2).$  
\annotctd{} ``Local triad dynamics'':  At each step a random triangle $T$ is chosen.   If it is all negative, a random edge in $T$ is chosen and negated.  If it has one negative edge, a random edge in $T$ is chosen and negated with probability $p$ if it is negative and $1-p$ if positive.  If it is balanced there is no change.  The process is repeated ad infinitum.  
Finite [i.e., fixed] $n$:  For $p > 1/2$ the graph reaches all-positivity (``paradise'') in time $C \log t$ and for $p = 1/2$ in time $C/\sqrt{2t}$.  For $p < 1/2$ the graph reaches a balanced state which is not all positive, in superexponential time.  (Time is in the units described.)
``Infinite'' $n$ [i.e., $n \to \infty$]:  For $p < 1/2$ the density of negative edges approaches the stationary value $(1+\surd(3(1-2p))\inv$.  For $p > 1/2$ the network approaches all-positivity.  Thus, at $p = 1/2$ there is a phase transition.
Differential equations arise in the densities, with coefficients $\pi^+, \pi^-$ where $\pi^\epsilon :=$ the probability that, in one step, the sign change is from $\epsilon$ to $-\epsilon$; thus $\pi^+ = (1-p)n_1$ and $\pi^- = p n_1 + n_3$.
A stationary state has $\pi^+ = \pi^-$.  For infinite $n$ the stationary states are in \S~III.B and temporal evolution of $\rho=\rho(t)$ is treated in \S~III.C.  Finite $n$ is in \S~III.D.
\annotctd{} ``Constrained triad dynamics'':  An edge is chosen randomly and is negated with probability $1$ if the number of positive triangles increases, $0$ if the number decreases, and $1/2$ if the number remains the same.  This corresponds to an Ising model with Hamiltonian $-\sum \sigma_i\sigma_j\sigma_k$, summed over all edge triples that form a triangle.  This model approaches balance in time $C \log t$ with high probability if $n$ is large.  
The other alternatives are to reach an unbalanced absorbing state, where every edge is more positive than negative triangles (a ``jammed state''), or a trajectory where every edge is in equally many triangles of each sign (a ``blinker'').  Blinkers were not observed in the simulations.  The probability of a jammed state decreases quickly as $n \to \infty$.  
The ``final'' state, if balanced, has Harary bipartition $V = V_1 \cupdot V_2$.  For $\rho(0) \lesssim .4$, $|V_1|/|V_2| approx 1$.  As $\rho(0) \to \beta \approx .65$, $|V_1|/|V_2| \to \infty$, i.e., one set becomes dominant.  When $\rho(0) > \beta$, $V_1=V$ and all edges are positive.  (\S~IV.B.)
A jammed state can occur only when $n=9$ or $n\geq11$ (\S~IV.C), e.g., certain $3$-cluster states as in Davis (1967a).  
The number of jammed signatures $> 3^n \gg 2^{n-1} =$ number of balanced ones, notwithstanding that the probable long-term state is balanced (\S~IV.C).

MR 83m:05057.
\annot{} A ``congruence'' is an equivalence relation $R$ on $V(\Sigma)$ such that no negative edge is within an equivalence class.  The quotient $\Sigma/R$ has the obvious simple underlying graph and signs $\bar{\sigma}(\bar{x}\bar{y}) = \sigma(xy)$ [which is ambiguous].  A signed-graph homomorphism is a function $f: V_1 \to V_2$ that is a sign-preserving homomorphism of underlying graphs.  [This is inconsistent, since the sign of edge $f(x)f(y)$ can be ill defined.  The defect might perhaps be remedied by allowing multiple edges with different signs or by passing entirely to multigraphs.]  
The canonical map $\Sigma \to \Sigma/R$ is such a homomorphism.  Composition of homomorphisms is well defined and associative; hence one has a category ${\text{\rm Graph}}^{\text{\rm sign}}$.  The categorial product is $\prod_{i \in I} \Sigma_i :=$ Cartesian product of the $|\Sigma_i|$ with the component-wise signature $\sigma((\ldots, u_i, \dots)(\ldots, v_i, \dots)) := \sigma_i(u_iv_i)$.  Some further elementary properties of signed-graph homomorphisms and congruences are proved.

\bsgitem{2004a}  Positive and negative circuits in discrete neural networks.  \emph{IEEE Trans.\ Neural Networks} 15 (2004), no.\ 1, 77--83. 
\annot{} Existence and upper bound on the number of fixed points of a ``discrete neural network'' $\cN$, which consists of a real $n \times n$ matrix $W$, the associated signed digraph $D$ of order $n$, and a real vector $b$.  A state is $x \in \{-1,+1\}^n$.  A transition is $x \mapsto f(x) := \sgn_+(Wx-b)$ where $\sgn_+(t) := \sgn(t)$ except $\sgn_+(0) := +1$.  Assume: $D$ is connected; no component of $f$ is constant, hence a cycle exists.  
Lemma 1:  A cycle is positive iff it has a satisfied state.  
Thm.\ 1:  If all cycles are positive, $f$ has a fixed point.  
Thm.\ 2:  If all cycles are negative, $f$ has no fixed point.  
Thm.\ 3:  \#\{fixed points\} $\leq 2^p$ where $p := \min$(size of vertex cover of positive cycles), and this is sharp.
Dictionary:  ``positive feedback vertex set'' = vertex cover of positive cycles = vertex set that covers all positive cycles; ``circuit'' = (directed) cycle; {\bf 1} = $\sgn_+$.

\annot{} A ``claw'' consists of a vertex and three incident half edges.  Let $C$ be the set of claws in $\Gamma$ and $T$ the set of theta subgraphs.  Fix a rotation of each claw.  Call $t \in T$ an ``edge'' with endpoints $c, c'$ if $t$ contains $c$ and $c'$; sign it $+$ or $-$ according as $t$ can or cannot be embedded in the plane so the rotations of its trivalent vertices equal the ones chosen for $c$ and $c'$.  This defines, independently (up to switching) of the choice of rotations, the ``signed triple graph'' $T^{\pm}(\Gamma)$.  Theorem: $\Gamma$ is planar iff $T^{\pm}(\Gamma)$ is balanced.

MR 97k:52012.  Zbl 872.52006.
\annot{} Treats the canonical lift representations (as affine hyperplane arrangements) of various gain graphs and signed gain graphs with additive gain group $\bbZ^+$.  The article is largely a series of (sometimes brilliant) calculations of chromatic polynomials (\emph{mutatis mutandis}, the characteristic polynomials of the representing arrangements) modulo a large integer $q$ using gain graph coloring, though disguised as applications of Crapo--Rota's Critical Theorem.  The fundamental principle is that, if $q$ is larger than the largest gain of a circle, then $\bbZ^+$ can be replaced as gain group by $\bbZ_q^+$ without changing the chromatic polynomial (a consequence of Zaslavsky (1995b), Thm.\ 4.2)---and the analog for signed gain graphs, whose theory needs to be developed.  A non-graphical result of the general method is a unified proof (Thm.\ 2.4) of the theorem of Blass and Sagan (1998a).
\annotctd{} \S3: ``The Shi arrangements'': these represent $\Latb \{0,1\}\vec K_n$ and signed-graph analogs.  \S4: ``The Linial arrangement'': this represents $\Latb \{1\}\vec K_n$.
\S5: ``Other interesting hyperplane arrangements'', treats: the arrangement representing $\Latb AK_n$ where $A = \{-m, \ldots, m-1, m\}$ [which is the semilattice of $m$-composed partitions; see Zaslavsky (2002a), Ex.\ 10.5, also Edelman and Reiner (1996a)], and several generalizations, including to arbitrary sign-symmetric gain sets $L$ and to Weyl analogs; also, an antibalanced analog of the $A_n$ Shi arrangement (Thm.\ 5.4); and more.  Most impressive result:  Thm.\ 5.2:  Let $A$ be a finite set of integers such that $0 \notin A = -A$ and let $A^0 = A \cup \{0\}$.  For $\Phi = A^0K_n$ and large integral $\lambda$, $\chi^*_\Phi(\lambda)/\lambda$ is the coefficient of $x^{\lambda-n}$ in $(1-x)\inv - f_A(x)/x$ where $f_A$ is the ordinary generating function for $A$.  From this $\chi^*_{AK_n}(\lambda)/\lambda$ is derived.

\annot{} Linear (thus ``fractional'', meaning half-integral) vs.\ integral programming solutions to maximum matching.  The difference of their maxima = $\frac 12$(max number of matching-separable vertex-disjoint odd circles).  Also noted (p.\ 12): (max) fractional matchings in $\Gamma$ correspond to (max) matchings in the double covering graph of $-\Gamma$.  
[\Question.  Does this lead to a definition of maximum matchings in signed graphs?]

MR 38 \#2052.  Zbl 159, 542 (e: 159.54202).
\annot{} Let $\Beta$ be a bidirected $-K_{2n}$ which has a coherent $2$-factor.  (``Coherent'' means that, at each vertex in the $2$-factor, one edge is directed inward and the other outward.)  
Thm.\ 1:  $\Beta$ has a coherent Hamiltonian circle iff, for every $k \in \{2, 3, \ldots, n-2\}$, $s_k > k^2$, where $s_k :=$ the sum of the $k$ smallest indegrees and the $k$ smallest outdegrees.  
Thm.\ 2:  The number of $k$'s for which $s_k = k^2$ equals the smallest number $p$ of circles in any coherent $2$-factor of $\Beta$.  Moreover, the $p$ values of $k$ for which equality holds imply a partition of $V$ into $p$ vertex sets, each inducing $\Beta_i$ consisting of a bipartite [i.e., balanced] subgraph with a coherent Hamiltonian circle and in one color class only introverted edges, while in the other only extroverted edges.  
[\Problem.  Generalize these remarkable results to an arbitrary bidirected complete graph.  The all-negative case will be these theorems; the all-positive case will give the smallest number of cycles in a covering by vertex-disjoint cycles of a tournament that has any such covering.]  [See Bang-Jensen and Gutin (1997a) for further developments on alternating walks.]

\annot{} Clusterability index $Q$ [minimum number of inconsistent edges; see Doreian and Mrvar (1996a) for notation] in signed complete graphs is NP-hard.  Polynomial-time algorithms for approximate optimal clustering: up to a constant factor from $Q$ (\S3); probably within $1-\epsilon$ of $|E|-Q$ for any $\epsilon$ (i.e., maximizing consistent edges within $1-\epsilon$) (\S4).  
\S3:  A 2-clustering within $3Q_2$ (Thm.\ 2).  A clustering within $c Q$ where $c\approx20000$ (Thm.\ 13).  
\S4:  A clustering within $\epsilon n^2$ of $|E|-Q$ with high probability but slow in terms of $1/\epsilon$ (Thm.\ 15).  Asymptotically faster in terms of $1/\epsilon$ (Thm.\ 22).  The $1-\epsilon$ factor results from the fact that $|E|-Q = \binom{n}{2}-Q > \frac12\binom{n}{2}$ [so is not strong].  
\S6: ``Random noise''.  
\S7: ``Extensions'', considers edge weights in $[-1,1]$ (thus allowing incomplete graphs).  Thm.\ 23:  An unweighted approximation algorithm will also approximate this case, assuming ``linear cost'': $e$ costs $(1-w(e))/2$ if within a cluster and $(1+w(e))/2$ if between clusters.  
Thm.\ 24:  The problem for clustering that minimizes the total weight of $+$ edges outside clusters and $-$ edges within clusters (``minimizing disagreements'') is APX-hard.

Conditions are studied under which certain inequalities of form $\sum_{i \in Y} x_i \leq f(Y)$ define facets of this polytope: in particular,  $f(Y) =$ max.\ size of balance-inducing subets of $Y$, $f(Y) = 1$ or $2$, $f(Y) = |Y| - 1$ when $Y = V(C)$ for a negative circle $C$, etc.

\annot{} More on $P_{\text{\rm BIS}}(\Sigma)$ (see (1989a)).  A balance-inducing vertex set in $\pm\Gamma =$ a stable set in $\Gamma$.  [See Zaslavsky (1982b) for a different correspondence.]  Thm.\ 2.1 is an interesting preparatory result:  If $\Sigma = \Sigma_1 \cup \Sigma_2$ where $\Sigma_1 \cap \Sigma_2 \cong \pm K_k$, then $P_{\text{\rm BIS}}(\Sigma) = P_{\text{\rm BIS}}(\Sigma_1) \cap P_{\text{\rm BIS}}(\Sigma_2)$.  
The main result is Thm.\ 2.2:  If $\Sigma$ has a $2$-separation into $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$, the polytope is the projection of the intersection of polytopes associated with modifications of $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$.  \S5: ``Compositions of facets'', derives the facets of $P_{\text{\rm BIS}}(\Sigma)$.

MR 83c:82045.
\annot{} Treats many important aspects of the quantity $l := \min_{\zeta} |E^-(\Sigma^{\zeta})|$ [which equals the frustration index], over all switching functions $\zeta$ (``spin configurations $\sigma$'' in the paper) of a signed graph, mainly a signed planar graph.  
($|E^-(\Sigma^{\zeta})|$ is the paper's $\frac12(|E|+H)$, $H :=$ Hamiltonian.)
They maximize $-H = W^+ + W^- - W^{+-}$ where $W^+ + W^- :=$ \# unswitched positive edges $-$ \# unswitched negative edges and $W^{+-} :=$ \# switched positive edges $-$ \# switched negative edges.  Thus, $-H = |E^+| - |E^-| = |E| - 2|E^-|$ after switching.  
Maximizing it $\iff$ minimizing $|E^-|$ over all $\zeta$.
\annotctd{} \S2: ``The frustration model as the Chinese postman's problem'', describes how to find $l$ when $|\Sigma|$ is planar, by solving a Chinese postman ($T$-join) problem in the dual graph, $T$ corresponding to the frustrated (i.e., negative) face boundaries.  The postman problem is solved by linear programming.  
[Solved independently by Katai and Iwai (1978a).]  
[Barahona (1981a) generalizes to signed toroidal graphs.]
\annotctd{} \S3: ``Solution of the frustration problem by duality: rigidity''.  An edge is ``rigid'' if it has the same sign in every $\Sigma^\zeta$ that minimizes $|E|$ (such an $\zeta$ is a ``ground state'').  The endpoints of a rigid edge are called ``solidary''.  Rigid edges are found via the dual linear program.  The boundary contours of connected sets of frustrated faces play an important role.
\annotctd{} \S\S4--5: ``Numerical experimentation'' and ``Results'', for a randomly signed square lattice graph.  The proportion $x$ of negative edges strongly affects the properties; esp., there is significant long-range order below but not above $x \approx .15$.  
[See Deng and Abell (2010a) for numerical results on random signed graphs.]
\annotctd{} More general problems discussed are (1) allowing positive edge weights (due to variable bond strengths); (2) minimizing $|E^-(\Sigma^\zeta) + c \sum_V \zeta(v)$, with $c \neq 0$ because of an external magnetic field.  Then one cannot expect the LP to have a combinatorial optimum.

\annot{} A ``marked digraph'' is a digraph $\vec D$ with signed vertices, $\vec S = \vec D,\mu)$ where $\mu:V \to \{+,-\}$.  It is ``consistent'' if all diwalks from $v$ to $w$ have the same sign $\mu(W)$.  The sign of a walk is the vertex sign product.  
Thm.\ 1.  Asssuming $\vec D$ is strongly connected, $\vec S$ is consistent iff every dicycle is positive.  [An important difference from signed graphs, where no restriction is needed.]  
Thm.\ 2.  $\vec S$ is consistent iff $V$ has a bipartition such that every arc with a positive tail lies within a set but no arc with a negative tail does so.  
Define $\sigma(\vec{uv} := \mu(u)$.  Thm.\ 3.  Asssuming $\vec D$ is strongly connected, this signed graph is balanced iff $\vec S$ is consistent.  
Thm.\ 4.  A vertex-signed tournament $\vec S$ is consistent iff:  When strongly connected, [it is all positive or] it has exactly two negative vertices $u,v$ and, deleting $uv$, $u$ is a source and $v$ is a sink.  When not strongly connected, it is consistent iff it is all positive, or it has one negative vertex which is a source or sink, or it has two negative vertices, one a source and the other a sink. 
Thm.\ 5.  $\vec D$ has $\mu \not\equiv +$ such that $(\vec D,\mu)$ is consistent (``markable'') iff $\exists\ \eset \subset V_0 \subset V$ such that, $\forall\ v$, all out-arcs from $v$, or none, go to $V_0$.

MR 95e:05081.  Zbl 802.05054.
\annot{} Here a periodic graph [of dimension $m$] is defined as a connected graph $\Gamma = \tilde\Psi$ where $\Psi$ is a finite $\bbZ^m$-gain graph with gains contained in $\{\bold 0, \bold b_i, \bold b_i - \bold b_j\}$.  ($\bold b_1, \ldots, \bold b_m$ are the unit basis vectors of $\bbZ^m$.)  Let us call such a $\Psi$ a small-gain base graph for $\Gamma$.  Any $\tilde\Phi$, where $\Phi$ is a finite $\bbZ^m$-gain graph, has a small-gain base graph $\Psi$; thus this definition is equivalent to that of Collatz (1978a).  
The ``index'' $I(\Gamma)$, analogous to the largest eigenvalue of a finite graph, is the spectral radius of $A(||\Psi||)$ (here written $A(\Gamma, N)$) for any small-gain base graph of $\Gamma$.  
The paper contains basic theory and the lower bound $L_m = \inf \{I(\Gamma) : \Gamma {\text{\rm\ is $m$-dimensional}}\}$, where $1 = L_1, \sqrt{9/2} = L_2 \leq L_3 \leq \cdots$.

\annot{} The theorem that deletion index = negation index of a signed graph (Harary (1959b)) is shown to be a special case of a very general phenomenon involving hereditary classes of ``partial choice functions''.  
Another special case: deletion index = alteration index of a gain graph [an immediate corollary of Harary, Lindst\"om, and Zetterstr\"om (1982a), Thm.\ 2].

Atoms of the lattices are defined as edge fibers of the signed covering graph of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$, thus corresponding to edges of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$.  [The ``half edges'' are perhaps best regarded as negative loops.]  The lattices studied, called $NCB_n, NCD_n, NCBD_n(S)$, consist of the noncrossing members of the Dowling and near-Dowling lattices of the sign group, i.e., $\Lat G(\pm K_n^{(T)})$ for $T = [n], \eset, [n] \backslash S$, respectively.

MR 99c:05204.  Zbl 899.05003.
\annot{} Signed-graph chromatic polynomials are recast geometrically by observing that the number of $k$-colorings equals the number of points of $\{-k, -k + 1, \ldots, k - 1, k\}^n$ that lie in none of the edge hyperplanes of the signed graph.  The interesting part is that this generalizes to subspace arrangements of signed graphs and, somewhat \emph{ad hoc}, to the hyperplane arrangements of the exceptional root systems.

MR 1987025 (2004e:20020).  Zbl 1028.20007.
\annot{} Let $\fG$ denote any group.  
The algebra is $\bbC \Latb G(\fG K_{2k}(U,W))$ where $\Latb G(\fG K_{2k}(U,W)) =$ the semilattice of balanced flats of the Dowling lattice $Q_{2k}(\fG)$ on a set $V := U \cupdot W$ of $2k$ vertices, $U:=\{u_{1},\ldots,u_{k}\}$, and $W:=\{w_{1},\ldots,w_{k}\}$.  
\annotctd{} The definition requires a multiplication on $\Latb G(\fG K_{2k}(U,W))$ which involves an indeterminate $x$.  For each balanced flat (equivalently, $\fG$-valued partition) $\alpha$ label its vertices $u_{\alpha i}:=u_i$, $w_{\alpha i}:=w_i$.  Define $\gamma := \alpha \cdot \beta$ by identifying $w_{\alpha i}$ with $u_{\beta _i}$ in $\alpha \cupdot \beta$ (call the result $\gamma'$), taking the closure in $G(\fG K_{3k})$, multiplying by $x^m$ where $m :=$ \# of components of $\gamma'$ contained completely within the identified vertices, and deleting the identified vertices $w_{\alpha i}$.  Set $u_{\gamma i} := u_{\alpha i}$ and $w_{\gamma i} := w_{\beta i}$.

Summarized in modified notation:  In a signed graph, define $w^\epsilon_{ij}(r) =$ number of walks of length $r$ and sign $\epsilon$ from $v_i$ to $v_j$.  Define an adjacency matrix $A$ by $a_{ij} = w^+_{ij}(1) + w^-_{ij}(1)\theta$, where $\theta$ is an indeterminate whose square is 1.  Then $w^+_{ij}(r) + w^-_{ij}(r)\theta = (A^r)_{ij}$ for all $r\geq 1$.  [We should regard this computation as taking place in the group ring of the sign group, where the sign group is treated as $\{+1, \theta\}$.  The generalization to arbitrary gain graphs and digraphs is obvious.]  
Other sections also discuss signed digraphs [but have little mathematical content].

MR 58 \#21779.  Zbl 353.20004, (359.20004).
\annot{}Introducing the cohomological theory of two-graphs.  A two-graph $\tau$ is a $2$-coboundary in the complex of $\GF(2)$-cochains on $E(K_n)$.  [The $1$-cochains are the signed complete graphs, equivalently the graphs that are their negative subgraphs.  \Cf\ D.E.\ Taylor (1977a).]  Write $Z_i$, $Z^i$, $B^i$ for the $i$-cycle, $i$-cocycle, and $i$-coboundary spaces.  Switching a signed complete graph means adding a $1$-cocycle to it; a switching class of signed complete graphs is viewed as a coset of $Z^1$ and is equivalent to a two-graph.
\annotctd{} Take a group $\fG$ of automorphisms of $\tau$.  Special cohomology elements $\gamma \in H^1(\fG, B^1)$ and $\beta \in H^2(\fG, \tilde B^0)$ (where $\tilde B^0 = \{0, V(K_n)\}$, the reduced $0$-coboundary group) are defined.  
Thm.\ 3.1:  $\gamma = 0$ iff $\fG$ fixes a graph in $\tau$.  
Thm.\ 5.1:  $\beta = 0$ iff $\fG$ can be realized as an automorphism group of the canonical double covering graph of $\tau$ (viewing $\tau$ as a switching class of signed complete graphs).  
Conditions are explored for the vanishing of $\gamma$ (related to Harries and Liebeck (1978a)) and $\beta$.
\annotctd{} $Z^1$ is the annihilator of $Z_1 =$ the space of even-degree simple graphs; the theorems of Mallows and Sloane (1975a) follow immediately.  
More generally:  Lemma 8.2: $Z^i$ is the annihilator of $Z_i$.  Thm.\ 8.3: The numbers of isomorphism types of $i$-cycles and $i$-cocycles are equal, for $i = 1, \ldots, n-2$.
\annotctd{} \S8 concludes with discussion of possible generalizations, e.g., to oriented two-graphs (replacing $\GF(2)$ by $\GF(3)^\times$) and double coverings of complete digraphs (Thms.\ 8.6, 8.7).  [A full ternary analog is developed in Cheng and Wells (1986a).]

Take all triples of end vertices of $T$ whose minimal connecting subtree has its trivalent vertex in $X$.  The two-graphs $(V,\cT)$ that arise from these constructions are characterized by forbidden substructures, namely, the two-graphs of (1) $C_5$ and $C_6$; (2) $C_5$.  Also, trees that yield identical two-graphs are characterized.

Repr.\ in Seidel (1991a), pp.\ 208--230.
\annot{} The essential idea is that graphs with least eigenvalue $\geq -2$ are represented by the angles of root systems.  It follows that line graphs are so represented.  
[Similarly, signed graphs with largest eigenvalue $\leq 2$ are represented by the inner products of root systems, as in Vijayakumar \emph{et al}.  
These include the line graphs of signed graphs as in Zaslavsky (1984c), since simply signed graphs are represented by $B_n$ or $C_n$ with a few exceptions.
  The representation of ordinary graphs by all-negative signed graphs is motivated in Zaslavsky (1984c).]

MR 95f:20063.  Zbl 802.05043.
\annot{} A generalized Coxeter group $\Cox(\Sigma)$ and a Tsaranov group $\Ts(\Sigma)$ are defined via Coxeter relations and an extra relation for each negative circle in $\Sigma$.  They generalize Coxeter groups of tree Coxeter graphs and the Tsaranov groups of a two-graph ($|\Sigma| = K_n$; see Seidel and Tsaranov (1990a)).  
A new operation of ``local switching'' is introduced, which changes the edge set of $\Sigma$ but preserves the associated groups.

\S3, ``Root lattices and Weyl groups'': The ``intersection matrix'' $2I + A(\Sigma)$ is a hyperbolic Gram matrix of a basis of $\bbR^n$ whose vectors form only angles $\pi/2, \pi/3, 2\pi/3$.  To these vectors are associated the lattice $L(\Sigma)$ of their integral linear combinations and the Weyl group $W(\Sigma)$ generated by reflecting along the vectors.  $W$ is finite iff $2I + A(\Sigma)$ is positive definite (Thm.\ 3.1).  \Problem\ 3.6.  Determine which $\Sigma$ have this property.  
\S4 introduces local switching to partially solve \Problem\ 4.1: Which signed graphs generate the same lattice?  Results and some experimental data are reported.  All-negative signed graphs play a special role.  Definition of \emph{local switching at $v$}:  (1) switch so the edges at $v$ are positive, (2) divide the components of the negative subgraph of the neighborhood of $v$ into two halves $J, K$, (3) add negative edges joining all vertices of $J$ to all those of $K$, (4) negate all edges from $v$ to $J$, (5) reverse the switching in step (1).

\annotctd{} Dictionary: 
``$(\Gamma, f)$'' = $\Sigma = (\Gamma, \sigma)$. 
``Fundamental signing'' = all-negative signing, giving the antibalanced switching class.  
``The balance'' of a cycle (i.e., circle) = its sign $\sigma(C)$; ``the parity'' = $\sigma(-C)$ where $-C = C$ with all signs negated.  
``Even'' = positive and ``odd'' = negative (referring to ``parity'').  
``The balance'' of $\Sigma$ = the partition of all circles into positive and negative classes $\cC^+$ and $\cC^-$; this is the bias on $|\Sigma|$ due to the signing and should not be confused with the customary meaning of ``balance'', i.e., all circles are positive.  
\annotctd{} [A more natural definition of the intersection matrix would be $2I - A$.  Then signs would be negative to those in the paper.  The need for ``parity'' would be obviated, ordinary graphs would correspond to all-positive signings (and those would be ``fundamental''), and the extra Coxeter relations would pertain to negative induced circles.]

 \annot{} \S4: ``Extension to signed graphs''.  Generalizing Zaslavsky (1982a), an all-minors matrix-tree theorem for weighted signed digraphs and a corollary for weighted signed graphs.  
Given: a signed graph on vertex set $[n]$.  For a Kirchoff (or ``Laplace'')-type $n \times n$ matrix $K$ ($A$ in the paper), $K(\bar U, \bar W)$ is $K$ with the rows indexed by $U$ and the columns indexed by $W$ deleted.  Take $U, W \subseteq V$ with $|U| = |W| = k \leq n$.  Then $\det K(\bar U, \bar W)$ is a sum of terms, one for each independent set $F$ of rank $n-k$ in $G(\Sigma)$ in which each tree component contains just one vertex from $U$ and one from $W$.  Each term has a sign depending partly on the number of negative paths by which $F$ links $U$ to $W$ and partly on the linking pattern, and with magnitude $4^c\cdot$(weight product of $F$), where $c =$ \# of circles in $F$.  
[The credit to Zaslavsky is overly generous: only the case $U = W = \eset$ is his; the others are new.]  
The digraph version replaces 4 by 2 and imposes conditions on arc directions in the tree and nontree components of $F$.

\annotctd{} A cut is an edge set $U := E\langle X,X^c \rangle \cup U_X$ where $X \subseteq V$ and $U_X$ is a minimal balancing set of $E\ind X$.  A minimal cut is a bond, i.e., a cocircuit in $G(\Sigma)$.  A circuit or cut has two possible ``directions''.  A minimal directed cut need not be a directed bond.  The indicator vectors of directed circuits generate the cycle (``circuit'') space; the indicator vectors of directed cuts generate the cocycle (``cut'') space.
\annotctd{} The flow space or lattice is the real or integral null space of the incidence matrix.  The tension space or lattice is the real or integral row space.  The spaces equal lattices equal the real cycle and cut spaces and the lattices are their integral parts.  
Not every integral flow is in the integral span of circuit indicator vectors; but every integral tension is spanned by cut indicator vectors.

MR 88a:05075.  Zbl 609.05039.
\annot{} This article studies what are described as $\bbZ_4$-gain graphs $\Phi$ with underlying simple graph $\Gamma$.  [However, see below.]  They are regarded as digraphs $D$, the gains being determined by $D$ as follows: $\phi(u,v) = 1$ or $2$ if $(u,v)$ is an arc, $2$ or $3$ if $(v,u)$ is an arc.  [N.B. $\Gamma$ is not uniquely determined by $D$.]  Cheng's ``switching'' is gain-graph switching but only by switching functions $\eta : V \to \{0,2\}$; I will call this ``semiswitching''.  His ``isomorphisms'' are vertex permutations that are automorphisms of $\Gamma$; I will call them ``$\Gamma$-isomorphisms''.  The objects of study are equivalence classes under semiswitching (semiswitching classes) or semiswitching and $\Gamma$-isomorphism (semiswitching $\Gamma$-isomorphism classes).
Prop.\ 3.1 concerns adjacency of vertex orbits of a $\Gamma$-isomorphism that preserves a semiswitching class (call it a $\Gamma$-automorphism of the class).
Thm.\ 4.3 gives the number of semiswitching $\Gamma$-isomorphism classes.
Thm.\ 5.2 characterizes those $\Gamma$-automorphisms of a semiswitching class that fix an element of the class; Thm.\ 5.3 characterizes the $\Gamma$-isomorphisms $g$ that fix an element of every $g$-invariant semiswitching class.
\annotctd{} [Likely the right viewpoint, as is hinted in \S6, is that the edge labels are not $\bbZ_4$-gains but weights from the set $\{\pm1, \pm2, \ldots, \pm k\}$ with $k = 2$.  Then semiswitching is ordinary signed switching, and so forth.  However, I forbear to reinterpret everything here.]
\annotctd{} In \S6, $\bbZ_4$ is replaced by $\bbZ_{2k}$ [but this should be $\{\pm1, \pm2, \ldots, \pm k\}$]; semiswitching functions take values $0, k$ only.  Generalizations of \S\S3, 4 are sketched and are applied to find the number of $H$-equivalent matrices of given size with entries $\pm1, \pm1, \ldots, \pm k$.  ($H$- [or Hadamard] equivalence means permuting rows and columns and scaling by $-1$.)

MR 87g:05104.  Zbl 565.05034, (579.05027). 
\annot{} This exceptionally interesting paper treats a digraph as a ternary gain graph $\Phi$ (i.e., with gains in $\GF(3)^+$) based on $K_n$.  
A theory of switching classes and triple covering graphs, analogous to that of signed complete graphs (and of two-graphs) is developed.  The approach, analogous to that in Cameron (1977b), employs cohomology.  The basic results are those of general gain-graph theory specialized to the ternary gain group and graph $K_n$.  
\annotctd{} The main results concern a switching class $[\Phi]$ of digraphs and an automorphism group $\fA$ of $[\Phi]$.
\S3, ``The first invariant'':  Thm.\ 3.2 characterizes, by a cohomological obstruction $\gamma$, the pairs $([\Phi], \fA)$ such that some digraph in $[\Phi]$ is fixed.  Thm.\ 3.5 is an [interestingly] more detailed result for cyclic $\fA$.
\S4: ``Triple covers and the second invariant''.  Digraph triple covers of the complete digraph are considered.  Those that correspond to gain covering graphs of ternary gain graphs $\Phi$ are characterized (``cyclic triple covers'', pp.\ 178--180).  Automorphisms of $\Phi$ and its triple covering $\tilde\Phi$ are compared.  Given $([\Phi], \fA)$, Thm.\ 4.4 finds the cohomological obstruction $\beta$ to lifting $\fA$ to $\tilde\Phi$.  Thm.\ 4.7 establishes an equivalence between $\gamma$ and $\beta$ in the case of cyclic $\fA$.
\annotctd{} \S5: ``Enumeration''.  Thm.\ 5.1 gives the number of isomorphism types of switching classes on $n$ vertices, based on the method of Wells (1984a) for signed graphs.
\S6: ``The fixed signing property''.  Thm.\ 6.1 characterizes the permutations of $V(K_n)$ that fix a gain graph in every invariant switching class, based on the method of Wells (1984a).

[\Question.  $B(\Pi)$ is a subset of $V \times \fG$.  How is this related to the covering graph?  Can one simplify their proofs?  A ``non-zero'' path is like a level-changing path in $\tilde \Phi$ (covering graph).  This suggests modelling their picture by $\Phi' = \Phi \cup 1K_n$, i.e., with distinguished identity-gain complete subgraph.  Or, by $\Omega \subseteq M\cdot\Delta =$ a biased expansion, with a distinguished maximal balanced subgraph.]

\annot{} Physics of ``fully frustrated'' $3$-dimensional cubic lattice, i.e., every square (``plaquette'') is negative.  Each square has one negative edge.  This is the unique fully frustrated signature up to switching [short proof:  the squares generate the cycle space], but there are many nonisomorphic ground states ($\zeta: V \to \signnos$ such that $\min_\zeta |(E^\zeta)^-|$); they are said to form 12 mutually unreachable classes.  App.\ A characterizes the ground states [and implies $l(\Sigma) = \frac{1}{4} |V|$ since each cube has one negative edge in each direction, neglecting boundary effects---or assuming toroidality].  The signed lattice is at times assumed to have a $2\times2$ fundamental domain; under that assumption there are 8 translational symmetry types of vertex, each forming a double-sized sublattice.  Approximate clustering is discussed.

\annot{} A signed-graphic model $\Sigma$ of a neuron network.

[Should be $-\frac12|E|$.]  $H$ [i.e., $\Sigma$] is non-frustrated if some state is.  Assertion:  $H$ is non-frustrated iff $\Sigma$ is balanced.  A proof idea (not a proof) is by setting up (real-valued) linear equations of positivity of generating circles; carried out for $K_n$.  [See (1997b).]
[Easy proof:  $H(s) = -\frac12|E|+|E^-(\Sigma^s)|$, hence $H$ is non-frustrated iff $\Sigma^s$ is all positive for some $s$ iff $\Sigma$ is balanced.  See e.g.\ Zaslavsky (1982a), Cor.\ 3.3.]

MR 2002e:90004.  Zbl 972.90059.
\annot{} The topic is linear optimization over a clutter, esp.\ a ``binary clutter'', which is the class of negative circuits of a signed binary matroid.  The class $\cC_-(\Sigma)$ is an important example (see Seymour 1977a), as is its blocker $b\big(\cC_-(\Sigma)\big)$ [which is the class of minimal balancing edge sets; hence the frustration index $l(\Sigma) =$ minimum size of a member of the blocker].
\annotctd{} Ch.~5: ``Graphs without odd-$K_5$ minors'', i.e., signed graphs without $-K_5$ as a minor.  Some esp.\ interesting results:  Thm.\ 5.0.7 
(special case of Seymour (1977a), Main Thm.):  The clutter of negative circles of $\Sigma$ has the ``Max-Flow Min-Cut Property'' (Seymour's ``Mengerian'' property) iff $\Sigma$ has no $-K_4$ minor.  Conjecture 5.1.11 is Seymour's (1981a) beautiful conjecture (his ``weak MFMC'' is here called ``ideal'').  \S5.2 reports the partial result of Guenin (2001a).  (See also \S8.4.)
\annotctd{} Def.\ 6.2.6 defines a signed graph ``$G(A)$'' of a $0, \pm1$-matrix $A$, whose transposed incidence matrix is a submatrix of $A$.  \S6.3.3: ``Perfect $0,\pm1$-matrices, bidirected graphs and conjectures of Johnson and Padberg'' (1982a), associates a bidirected graph with a system of 2-variable pseudoboolean inequalities; reports on Sewell (1997a) (\qv).
\annotctd{} \S8.4: ``On ideal binary clutters'', reports on Cornu\'ejols and Guenin (2002a), Guenin (1998a), and Novick and Seb\"o (1995a) (\emph{qq.v.}).

\annot{} A partial proof of Seymour's (1981a) conjecture.  Main Thm.:  A binary clutter is ideal if it has as a minor none of the circuit clutter of $F_7$, $\cC_-(-K_5)$ or its blocker, or $\cC_-(-K_4)$ or its blocker.  Important are the lift and extended lift matroids, $L(M,\sigma)$ and $L_0(M,\sigma)$, defined as in signed graph theory.  [See Cornu\'ejols (2001a), \S8.4.]

MR 92i:05072.  Zbl 755.05025.
\annot{} \S4:  \S4.1 describes 4 fairly simple types of ``legitimate'' graph operation that preserve the bicircular matroid.  Thm.\ 4.11 is a converse: if $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ have the same connected bicircular matroid, then either they are related by a sequence of legitimate operations, or they belong to a small class of exceptions, all having order $\leq 4$, whose bicircular matroid isomorphisms are also described.  This completes the isomorphism theorem of Wagner (1985a).  
\S5:  If finitely many graphs are related by a sequence of legitimate operations (so their bicircular matroids are isomorphic), then they have contrabalanced real gains whose incidence matrices are row equivalent.  These results are also found by a different approach in Shull \etal\ (1989a, 1993a, 1997a).

\S~III, ``The partition function'', studies the effect of moving out of ground states.  
App.~A derives a formula for the energy change from switching a cluster of vertices, in terms of frustrated and satisfied edges within and without the cluster.

MR 85h:05039.
\annot{} A clumsy but intriguing way of representing some signed (or more generally, $\bbZ_n$-weighted) graphs: via $2$-page (or, $n$-page) looseleaf book embedding (all vertices are on the spine and each edge is in a single page), with an edge in page $k$ weighted by the ``sheet parity index'' $\alpha_k = (-1)^k$ (or, $e^{2\pi ik/n}$).  (Described in the [unnecessary] terminology of an $n$-sheeted Riemann surface.)  
[A $\bbZ_n$-weighted) graph has such a representation iff the subgraph of edges with each weight is outerplanar.]
\annotctd{} A variation to get switching classes of signed circles: replace $\alpha_k$ by the ``connectivity parity index'' $\alpha_k^{\sigma_k}$ where $\sigma_k =$ number of edges in page $k$.  [The variation is valid only for circles.]  
[\Questions\ vaguely suggested by these procedures:  Which signed graphs can be switched so that the edges of each sign form an outerplanar graph?  Also, the same for gain graphs.  And there are many similar questions: for instance, the same ones with ``outerplanar'' replaced by ``planar.'']

An $O(r^3)$-approximation algorithm for graphs without a $K_{r, r}$-minor [e.g., planar, if $r=3$].  The problem is equivalent to minimum multicut, and therefore APX-hard and difficult to approximate better than $\Theta(\log n)$.

Zbl 1201.91166.
\annot{} A random signed graph has edge $vw$ with probability $d$, which is positive with probability $\alpha_0$.  Degree of balance is the proportion of triangles that are positive.  A triangle of type $T_i$ has $i$ positive edges.  They study the long-term proportions of triangle types in examples.
\S3, ``Balance adjustment under a local rule'':  A triangle $\triangle uvw$ and edge $uv$ are chosen at random; $uv$ changes sign iff $\triangle uvw$ is negative.  This ``myopic adjustment rule'' is iterated.  For $0<\alpha_0<1$, the proportions approach $37\%$ each of 1 or 2 and $13\%$ each of 0 or 3 negative edges.  This contradicts the Cartwright--Harary (1957a) balance hypothesis.  Convergence behavior in examples depends interestingly on $n$ and $d$.
\S\S4--7:  The sign-change probability depends on the triangle type.  Probabilities are suggested by models of Harary--Cartwright, Davis (1967a), and others, in which different sets of triangle types are ``attractors''.  Analytical and example results are reported.

This suggests that balance is not a primary tendency and Harary's (1953a) and Davis's (1967a) theorems on balance and clusterability have limited relevance to social groups.  [Also, that undirected signed graphs have limited relevance.  Digraph sign transitivity properties are more relevant.]  [A thoughtful article.]

\bsgitem{1996a}  A partitioning approach to structural balance.  \emph{Social Networks} 18 (1996), 149--168.  
\annot{} They propose indices for clusterability (as in Davis (1967a)) that generalize the frustration index of $\Sigma$.  Fix $k \geq 2$ and $\alpha \in [0, 1]$.  For a partition $\pi$ of $V$ into $k$ ``clusters'', they define $P(\pi) := \alpha n_- + (1-\alpha)n_+$, where $n_+ :=$ number of positive edges between clusters, $n_- :=$ number of negative edges within clusters, and $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$ is fixed.  
The first proposed measure is $\min P(\pi)$, minimized over $k$-partitions.  
A second suggestion is the ``negation-minimal index of generalized imbalance'' [i.e., of clusterability], the smallest number of edges whose negation 
[equivalently, deletion] makes $\Sigma$ clusterable.  [Call it the `clusterability index' $c(\Sigma)$.]  
[Note that $P(\pi)$ effectively generalizes the Potts Hamiltonian as given by Welsh (1993a).  \Question.  Does $P(\pi)$ fit into an interesting generalized Potts model?]  
[$P(\pi)$ also resembles the Potts Hamiltonian in Fischer and Hertz (1991a) (\qv\ for a related research question).]
[The data in Doreian (2008a), and common sense, suggest that clusters should be allowed to overlap.  This is an open research direction.]  
\annotctd{} They employ a local optimization algorithm to evaluate $P_{k,\alpha}$ and find an optimal partition: random descent from partition to neighboring partition, where $\pi$ and $\pi'$ are neighbors if they differ by transfer of one vertex or exchange of two vertices between two clusters.  
This was found to work well if repeated many times.  [A minimizing partition into at most $k$ clusters is equivalent to a ground state of the $k$-spin Potts model in the form given by Welsh (1993a), but not quite in that of Fischer and Hertz (1991a).]
\annotctd{} Terminology:  $P(\pi)$ is called the ``criterion function'' [more explicitly, one might call $c_\alpha(\Sigma,\pi) := 2P(\pi)$ the `$\alpha$-weighted clustering index of $\pi$', so the clusterability index $c(\Sigma) = \min_\pi c_{.5}(\Sigma,\pi)$].  Clusterability is ``$k$-bal\-ance'' or ``generalized balance''.  The clusters are ``plus-sets''.  Signed digraphs are employed in the notation but direction is ignored.

\annot{} Similar to (1996a).  Some lesser theoretical detail; some new examples.  The $k$-clusterability index $P_{k,\alpha}$ (1996a) is compared for different values of $k$, seeking the minimum.  [But for which value(s) of $\alpha$ is not stated.]  Interesting observation: optimal values of $k$ were small.  It is said that positive edges between parts are far more acceptable socially than negative edges within parts [thus, in the criterion function $\alpha$ should be rather near $1$].

\bsgitem{2009a}  Partitioning signed social networks.  \emph{Social Networks} 31 (2009), no.\ 1, 1--11.
\annot{} Generalizes the ideas of (1996a) (\qv).  Given:  A signed digraph $(\vec\Gamma,\sigma)$; a ``criterion function'' $P(\pi,\rho) := \alpha n^+ + (1-\alpha)n^-$, where $\pi:=\{B_1,\ldots,B_k\}$ partitions $V$ into ``clusters'', $\rho: \pi \times \pi \to \{+,-\}$, $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$ is fixed, and $n^\epsilon :=$ number of edges $\overarrow{B_iB_j}$ with sign $\epsilon$ for which $\rho(B_i,B_j) = -\epsilon$ (over all $i,j$).  Objective: $(\pi,\rho)$, or simply $k := |\pi|$, that minimizes $P(\pi,\rho)$.  What is new and most interesting is $\rho$; also new is using the edge directions.
\annotctd{} Call $(\vec\Gamma,\sigma)$ ``sign clusterable'' if $\exists\ (\pi,\rho)$ with $P(\pi,\rho) = 0$.  Clusterability is sign clusterability with $\rho = \rho_+$, where $\rho_+(B_i,B_j) := + \text{ if } i=j,\ - \text{ if } i\neq j$.  
Let $P(k) := \min\{ P(\pi,\rho) : |\pi|=k \}$.  
Thm.\ 4: $P(k)$ is monotonically decreasing.  [Thus, there is always an optimum $\pi$ with singleton clusters.  Why this does not vitiate the model is not addressed.]  
Thm.\ 5:  If $(\vec\Gamma,\sigma)$ is sign clusterable, then $(\vec\Gamma,-\sigma)$ also is.  If $(\vec\Gamma,\sigma)$ is clusterable, then $(\vec\Gamma,-\sigma)$ is not clusterable with the same $\pi$ [provided $E \neq \eset$].  If $(\vec\Gamma,\sigma)$ is sign clusterable with $\rho=-\rho_+$, then $(\vec\Gamma,-\sigma)$ is clusterable with the same $\pi$.  
``Relocation'': Shift one vertex, or exchange two vertices, between blocks so as to decrease $P$, as in (1996a).  This is said (but not proved) to minimize $P$.  
\annotctd{} Refinements discussed: partially prespecified blocks; null blocks (without outgoing edges); criterion functions with special treatment of null blocks.
\annotctd{} Applications to standard test examples of social psychology.
\annotctd{} Dictionary: ``balanced'' = clusterable; ``relaxed balanced'' = sign clusterable; ``$k$-\-bal\-anced'' = clusterable with $|\pi|=k$; ``relaxed structural balance blockmodel'' = this whole system.

[The gain-graphic approach was known to Dowling (1973a, p.\ 109) but first published in Doubilet, Rota, and Stanley (1972a).]  Isomorphism, vector representation, Whitney numbers and characteristic polynomial.  [The first and still fundamental paper.]

MR 94a:05106.  Zbl 776.05057.
\annot{} All graphs are simple.  This is one of four related papers that prove extremal results concerning subgraphs of $-\Gamma$ within which every two edges belong to a balanced circle of length at most $2k$, for all or particular $k$.
Typical theorem:  Let $F_l(n,m) =$ the largest number $m' = m'(n,m)$ such that every $-\Gamma$ with $|V| = n$ and $|E| \geq m$ has a subgraph $\Sigma'$ with $|E'| = m'$ in which every two edges belong to a balanced circle of length at most $l$.  For $m = m(n) \geq n^{3/2}$, there is a constant $c_3 > 0$ such that $F_l(n, m) \leq c_3m^2n^{-2}$ for all $l$.  (\S2, (2).)
[\Problem.  Extend these extremal results in an interesting way to arbitrary signed simple graphs, or to simply signed graphs (no repeated edges with the same sign).  (Merely allowing positive edges in addition to negative ones just makes the problem easier.  Something more is required.)]

\annot{} They prove that a complicated definition of ``reversible dynamic labeled 2-structure'' $G$ amounts to a complete graph with a set, closed under switching, of twisted gains in a gain group $\Delta$.  The twist is a gain-group automorphism $\alpha$ such that $\lambda(e;x,y) = [\alpha\lambda(e;y,x)]\inv$, $\lambda$ being the gain function.  
Dictionary:  their ``domain'' $D =$ vertex set, ``labeling function'' $\lambda$ (or equivalently, $g$) = gain function, ``alphabet'' = gain group, ``involution'' $\delta = \alpha \circ$ inversion, ``$\delta$-selector'' $\hat S =$ switching function, ``transformation induced by $\hat S$'' = switching by $\hat S$; a ``single axiom'' d.l.\ 2-structure consists of a single switching class.  
\annotctd{} Further, they investigate ``clans'' of $G$.  Given $g$ (i.e., $\lambda$), deleting identity-gain edges leaves isolated vertices (``horizons'') and forms connected components, any union of which is a ``clan'' of $g$.  A clan of $G$ is any clan of any $g \in G$.

\annot{} Main theorem (\S2) characterizes, given two signings of $K_n$ (where $n$ may be infinite) and a vertex set $S$, when switching $S$ makes the signings isomorphic.  [\Problem\ 1.  Generalize to other underlying graphs.  \Problem\ 2.  Prove an analog for bidirected $K_n$'s.]  
A corollary (\S3) characterizes when vertices $u, v$ of $\Sigma = (K_n, \sigma)$ satisfy $\Sigma^{\{u\}} \cong \Sigma^{\{v\}}$ and discusses when in addition no automorphism of $\Sigma$ moves $u$ to $v$.  All is done in terms of Seidel (graph) switching (here called ``vertex-switching'') of unsigned simple graphs.

MR 96i:05120.  Zbl 856.05071.
\annot{} Deepens the folded-cube theory of Ellingham and Royle (1992a).  Nicely generalizing Stanley (1985a), the number of subgraphs of a signed $K_n$ that are isomorphic to a fixed signed $K_m$ is reconstructible from the $s$-vertex switching deck if the Krawtchouk polynomial $K_s^n(x)$ has no even zeros between $0$ and $m$.  (Closely related to Krasikov and Roditty (1992a), Theorems 5 and 6.)  Remark 4: balance equations (Krasikov and Roditty (1987a)) and Krawtchouk polynomials both reflect properties of folded cubes.  All is done in terms of Seidel switching of unsigned simple graphs.  
[It seems clear that the folded cube appears because it corresponds to the effect of switchings on signatures of $K_n$ (or any connected graph), since switching by $X$ and $X^c$ have the same effect.  For the bidirected case (Problem 2 under Stanley (1985a)), the unfolded cube should play a similar role.  \Question.  When treating a general underlying graph $\Gamma$, will a polynomial influenced by $\Aut \Gamma$ replace the Krawtchouk polynomial?]

\annot{} Reconstruction of induced subgraph numbers of a signed $K_n$ from the $s$-vertex switching deck, dependent on linear transformation and thence Krawtchouk polynomials as in Stanley (1985a).  The role of those polynomials is further developed.  Done in terms of Seidel switching of unsigned simple graphs, with the advantage of reconstructing arbitrary subgraph numbers as well.  A gap is noted in Krasikov and Roditty (1987a), proof of Lemma 2.5.  
[Methods and results are closely related to Krasikov (1988a) and Krasikov and Roditty (1987a, 1992a).]

[It is not clear that the authors intend to permit negative edges.  If they are allowed, $H$ is rather like Doreian and Mrvar's (1996a) $P(\pi)$.  \Question.  Is there a worthwhile generalized signed and weighted Potts model with Hamiltonian that specializes both to this form of $H$ and to $P$?]  [Also \cf\ Welsh (1993a) on the Ashkin--Teller--Potts model.]

\annot{} \S1.2: ``Signed posets''.  Definition of signed poset: a positively closed subset of the root system $B_n$ whose intersection with its negative is empty.  (Following Reiner (1990).)  Equivalent to a partial ordering of $\pm[n]$ in which negation is a self-duality and each dual pair of elements is comparable.  [This is really a special type of signed poset.  The latter restriction does not hold in general.]

The total dichromatic polynomial is a Tutte invariant (satisfying deletion-contraction and multiplicativity) with possibly uncountably many variables, but is not the universal one.  \Problem.  Find the universal Tutte invariant.  With integral gain group and integral weights, the integral chromatic function of (2007a) is an evaluation of the polynomial.

\emph{Physica} 57 (1972), 536--564.
MR 50 \#12107.
\annot{} Most of the paper recasts classical physical and other models (percolation, ferromagnetic Ising, Potts, graph coloring, linear resistance) in a common form that is generalized in \S7, ``Random cluster model''.  The ``cluster (generating) polynomial'' $Z(\Gamma; p, \kappa)$, where $p \in \bbR^E$ and $\kappa \in \bbR$, is a $1$-variable specialization of the general parametrized dichromatic polynomial.  In the notation of Zaslavsky (1992b) it equals $Q_\Gamma(q,p; \kappa,1)$, where $q_e = 1 - p_e$.  Thus it partially anticipates the general polynomials of Przytycka and Przytycki (1988a), Traldi (1989a), and Zaslavsky (1992b) that were based on Kauffman's (1989a) sign-colored Tutte polynomial.  A spanning-tree expansion is given only for the resistance model.  A feature [that seems not to have been taken up by subsequent workers] is the differentiation relation (7.7) connecting $\partial \ln Z/{\partial q_e}$ with [I think!] the expectation that the endpoints of $e$ are disconnected in a subgraph.  [Grimmett (1994a) summarizes subsequent work in the probabilistic direction.]

\annot{} An abelian gain graph $\Phi$ is cobalanced (here called ``cut-balanced'') if the sum of gains on the edges of each coherently oriented cutset is $0$.  [This generalizes Kabell (1985a).]  Given $\Phi$ with $\|\Phi\|$ embedded in a surface, the surface dual graph is given gains by a right-rotation rule, thus forming a surface dual $\Phi^*$ of $\Phi$.  [This appears to require that the surface be orientable.  Note that cobalance generalizes to nonabelian gains on orientably embedded graphs, since the order of multiplication for the gain product on a cutset is given by the embedding.]  Thm.\ 3.2:  For a plane embedding of $\Phi$, $\Phi$ is cobalanced iff $\Phi^*$ is balanced.  Thm.\ 3.4 restates as criteria for cobalance of $\Phi$ the standard criteria for balance of $\Phi^*$, as in Gargano and Quintas (1985a).  More interesting are ``well-balanced'' graphs, which are both balanced and cobalanced.  \Problem.  Characterize them.

The ``odd circuit problem'' is to find a shortest negative circle; a simple algorithm uses the signed covering graph (pp.\ 30--31).  The ``Fulkerson property'' may be related to planarity and $K_5$ minors [which suggests comparison with Barahona (1990a), \S5].

[The fact that `badness' is not strictly a parity property weighs against the possibility that Gerards (1989a) extends well to signed graphs.]

MR 98j:05038.  Zbl 901.05055.
\annot{} An explicit bijection between the regions of the real hyperplane arrangement corresponding to $\pm K_n^{\circ}$ and the set of ``good signed [complete] mixed graphs'' $G_{\text{\bf a}}$ of order $n$.  The latter are a notational variant of the acyclic orientations $\tau$ of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$ [and are therefore in bijective correspondence with the regions, by Zaslavsky (1991b), Thm.\ 4.4]; the dictionary is: a directed edge in $G_{\text{\bf a}}$ is an oriented positive edge in $\tau$, while a positive or negative undirected edge in $G_{\text{\bf a}}$ is an introverted or extroverted negative edge of $\tau$.  
The main result, Thm.\ 1, is an interesting and significant explicit description of the acyclic orientations of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$.  Namely, one orders the vertices and directs all positive edges upward; then one steps inward randomly from both ends of the ordered vertex set, one vertex at a time, at each new vertex orienting all previously unoriented negative edges to be introverted if the vertex was approached from below, extroverted if from above in the vertex ordering.  [This clearly guarantees acyclicity.]  [\Problem.  Generalize to arbitrary signed graphs.]
\annotctd{} Lemma 2, ``a standard exercise'', is that an orientation of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$ (with the loops replaced by half edges) is acyclic iff the magnitudes of its net degrees are a permutation of $\{1, 3, \ldots, 2n-1]\}$.  [Similarly, an orientation of $\pm K_n^{\circ}$ is acyclic iff its net degree vector is a signed permutation of $\{2, 4, \ldots, 2n\}$ (Zaslavsky (1991b), p.\ 369, but possibly known beforehand in other terminology).  Both follow easily from Zaslavsky (1991b), Cor.\ 5.3: an acyclic orientation has a vertex that is a source or sink.]

MR 84m:05052.  Zbl 525.05045.
\annot{} From a matrix $B$, with row set $R$ and column set $C$, form the ``signed bipartite graph'' $BG^+$ with vertex set $R \cup C$ and an edge $r_ic_k$ signed $\sgn b_{ik}$ whenever $b_{ik} \neq 0$.  The ``signed row graph'' $RG^+$ is the two-step signed graph of $BG^+$ on vertex set $R$: that is, $r_ir_j$ is an edge if $\dist^{BG^+}(r_i, r_j) = 2$ and its sign is the sign of any shortest $r_ir_j$-path.  If some edge has ill-defined sign, $RG^+$ is undefined.  The ``signed column graph'' $CG^+$ is similar.  The paper develops simple criteria for existence and balance of these graphs and the connection to matrix properties.  It examines simple special forms of $B$.

\annot{} Application of (1983a, 1984b).  ``Netform'' = incidence matrix of a positive real gain graph (neglecting a minor technicality).  Thm.\ 1: $B$ is a netform iff $RG^+(B)$ exists and is all negative.  (Then $CG^+(B)$ also exists.)  Thm.\ 2:  If the row set partitions so that all negative elements are in some rows and all positives are in the other rows, then $RG^+(B)$ is all negative and balanced.  Thm.\ 3:  If $\Sigma$ is all negative and balanced, then $B$ exists as in Thm.\ 2 with $RG^+(B) = \Sigma$.  [Equivalent to theorem of Hoffman and Gale (1956a).]  $B$ is an ``inverse'' of $\Sigma$.  Thm.\ 4 concerns ``inverting'' $-\Gamma$ in a minimal way.  Then $B$ will be (essentially) the incidence matrix of $+\Gamma$.

The elementary solution is in terms of coverings of $\Sigma_R$ by balanced cliques.  It may be desirable to minimize the size of the balanced clique cover; this difficult problem is not tackled.

E.g., in \S5 is the all-negative case of:  A basis for $\Nul \incid(\Sigma)\trans$ consists of one switching function positivizing each balanced component of $\Sigma$.  [The viewpoint, going from matroids to vector spaces over fields, usually with characteristic $\neq 2$, contrasts sharply with that of Tutte (1981a), who starts with integral chain groups ($\bbZ$-modules) and ends with chain-group properties and matroids.  This is the only thorough development I know of vector spaces of a signed graph before Chen and Wang (2009a), despite some aspects' having appeared e.g.\ in Bolker (1977a, 1979a) and Tutte (1981a).  It will be still more valuable if it is extended to $\bbR^\times$-gain graphs and to $F^\times$-gain graphs for any field $F$.]

\annot{} $\Sigma$ is ``weakly bipartite'' (Gr\"otschel and Pulleyblank 1981a) if its clutter of negative circles is ideal (i.e., has the ``weak MFMC'' property of Seymour 1977a).  [This is a polyhedral property that can be equivalently stated:  Define a ``negative circle cover'' to be an edge multiset that intersects every negative circle, and a ``weighted negative circle cover'' to be an edge weighting by nonnegative real numbers such that the total weight of each negative circle is at least $1$.  Weak biparticity means that, for every linear functional $f: E\to\bbR$, the minimum value over all weighted negative circle covers is attained by a negative circle cover.]
Thm.:  $\Sigma$ is weakly bipartite iff it has no $-K_5$ minor.  This proves part of Seymour's conjecture (1981a) (see Cornu\'ejols 2001a).  [Short proof:  Schrijver (2002a).]

Given a $0,\pm1$-matrix $AS$, let $\Sigma$ have for vertices the rows of $A$, with an edge $\epsilon e_{ij}$ iff $\sgn(a_ {ik}a_{jk}) = -\epsilon$ in the $k$-th column for some $k$.  Let $\alpha :=$ maximum size of a stable set in a graph.  
Thm.:  The maximum height of a reflected network submatrix of $A$ equals $\max_\eta \alpha((\Sigma^X)_-)$ over all switchings of $\Sigma$.  This implies a heuristic algorithm for finding a large embedded network matrix.

Theorem:  If $v_rv_s \in E$, then $X_{ir}X_{is} = \sum_P f(P; \lambda_i)$, where $f(P; \lambda) := \phi(G-V(P); \lambda)/\phi'(G; \lambda)$, $\phi(G; \lambda)$ is the characteristic polynomial, and the sum is over all paths connecting $v_r$ and $v_s$.  Hence $\sigma_i(v_rv_s) = \sgn(X_{ir}X_{is})$ is determined.  [An interesting theorem.  \Questions.  Does it generalize if one replaces $\Gamma$ by a signed graph, this being the balanced (all-positive) case?  In such a generalization. if any, how will $\sigma$ enter in---by restricting the sum to positive paths, perhaps?  What about graphs with real gains, or weights?]

\bsgitem{1992a}  Net signs and eigenvalues of molecular graphs: some analogies.  \emph{Chem.\ Phys.\ Letters} 191 (1992), 87--91.  
\annot{} A connected graph $\Gamma$ has $n$ eigenvalues and $n$ corresponding balanced signings (see Lee, Lucchese, and Chu (1987a)).  Let $S_1 \geq S_2 \geq \cdots \geq S_n$ be the net signs of these signings and $m = |E|$.  The net signs satisfy analogs of properties of eigenvalues.  (A) If $\Delta \subset \Gamma$, then $S_1(\Delta) < S_1$.  (B) $S_1 = m \geq S_2 + 2$.  (C, D) For bipartite $\Gamma$, $S_n = -m$.  Otherwise, $S_n \geq -m+2$.  From (B, C, D) we have $|S_i| \leq m-2$ for all $i \neq 1$ and, if $\Gamma$ is bipartite, $i \neq n$.  (E, F) If $\Gamma$ is bipartite, then $S_i = -S_{n+1-i}$ and at least $a-b$ net signs equal $0$, where $a \geq b$ are the numbers of vertices in the two color classes.  The analogy is imperfect, since $S_1 + S_2 + \cdots + S_n \geq 0$, while equality holds for eigenvalues.  [\Questions.  Some of these conclusions require $\Gamma$ to be bipartite.  Does that mean that they will generalize to an arbitrary balanced signed graph $\Sigma$ in place of the bipartite $\Gamma$, the eigenvectors being those of $\Sigma$?  Will the other results generalize with $\Gamma$ replaced by any signed graph?  How about real gains, or weights?]

\annot{} Introducing ``skew gain graphs'', which generalize gain graphs (see Zaslavsky (1989a)) to incorporate dynamic labelled 2-structures (see Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg).  Inversion is replaced by a gain-group antiautomorphism $\delta$ of period at most 2.  Thus $\phi(e^{-1}) = \delta(\phi(e))$, while in switching by $\tau$, one defines $\phi^{\tau}(e; v,w) = \delta(\tau(v))\phi(e; v,w)\tau(w)$.  The authors find the size of a switching class $[\phi]$ in terms of the centralizers and/or $\delta$-centralizers of various parts of the image of $\phi_T$, that is, $\phi$ switched to be the identity on a spanning tree $T$.  The exact formulas depend on whether $\Gamma$ is complete, or bipartite, or general, and on the choice of $T$ (the case where $T \cong K_{1,n-1}$ being simplest).

\annot{} Three types of relatively easily maximizable pseudo-Boolean function (``unimodular'' and two others) are defined. For quadratic pseudo-Boolean functions $f$, the three types coincide; $f$ is unimodular iff an associated signed graph is balanced (Thm.\ 3).  Thus one can quickly recognize unimodular quadratic functions, although not unimodular functions in general.  If the graph is a tree, the function can be maximized in linear time.

MR 16, 733.  Zbl 56, 421c (e: 056.42103).
\annot{$\Sigma$} The main theorem (Thm.\ 3) characterizes balanced signings as those for which there is a bipartition of the vertex set such that an edge is positive iff it lies within a part [I call this a Harary bipartition].  Thm.\ 2: A signing of a simple [or a loop-free] graph is balanced iff, for each pair of vertices, every path joining them has the same sign.  The generating function for counting nonisomorphic signed simple graphs with $n$ vertices by numbers of positive and negative edges is $g_n(x+y)$ where $g_n(x)$ is the g.f.\ of nonisomorphic simple graphs.
[The birth of signed graph theory.  Although Thm.\ 3 was anticipated by K\"onig (1936a) (Thm.\ X.11, for finite and infinite graphs) without the terminology of signs, here is the first recognition of the crucial fact that labelling edges by elements of a group---specifically, the sign group---can lead to a general theory.]

(iii) the vertex frustration number $l_0(\Sigma)$ (``point index'').  
For $\beta$ of unbalanced blocks with cyclomatic number $\xi$:  Thm.\ 4: $\min\beta \leq (\xi-1)/(\xi-1+2^{\xi-1})$.

\annot{} A signed poset is a (finite) partially ordered set $P$ whose M\"obius function takes on only values in $\{0, \pm 1\}$.  $S(P)$ is the signed graph with $V = P$ and $E_{\epsilon} = \{xy : x \leq y {\text\rm\ and } \mu(x,y) = \epsilon 1$\} for $\epsilon = +, -$.  Some examples are chains, tree posets, and any product of signed posets.  Thm.\ 1 characterizes $P$ such that $|S(P)| \cong H(P)$, the Hasse diagram of $P$.  Thm.\ 3 characterizes posets for which $S(P)$ is balanced.  Thm.\ 4 gives a sufficient condition for clusterability of $S(P)$.  There are many unanswered questions, most basically  \Question\ 1.  Which signed graphs have the form $S(P)$?  [See Zelinka (1988a) for a partial answer.]

MR 2179032 (no rev).  Zbl 1116.68454.
\annot{} The signs are on vertices.  An operation is ``local complementation'' of a vertex $v$: in the neighborhood $N(v)$, negate the vertices and complement the edges.  Molecular operations formalized for vertex-signed graphs are: (1) deletion of an isolated negative vertex, (2) local complementation of a positive vertex, then deletion of the vertex, (3) a complementation in the neighborhood of two adjacent negative vertices $v,w$: complement in $N(v) \cup N(w)$, then complement in $N(v) \cap N(w)$.  (The paper has a misprint.)  The objective is to reduce the graph to $\eset$ by these operations, if possible.  One consideration is when operations can be performed ``in parallel'', i.e., independently of order of operations.

Also, locating interesting excited states (states with more than the fewest unsatisfied edges), specifically, domain walls and droplets.  A ``domain'' is generated by negating signs of a set of edges; the vertices whose spins remain the same form one domain and the complement is the other.  The increased energy (the ``domain wall energy'') has thermodynamic implications.  [How to choose the negation set, and what can be the shapes of domain walls, are not obvious.]  A ``droplet'' in a state $s$, vis-\'a-vis a ground state $s_0$, is a component of the subgraph induced by $(ss_0)\inv(-1)$.  The sizes of droplets appear to have consequences for thermodynamics.

\annot{} $\Sigma$ is a signed simple graph.  Let $\lambda$ be the least eigenvalue of $A(\Sigma)$.  Can (*) $A(\Sigma) - \lambda I - KK\trans$ be zero for some $K$ with all entries $0, \pm1$?  When $\lambda=-2$, $K$ exists [equivalently, $\Sigma$ is a reduced line graph of a signed graph; \cf\ Zaslavsky (2010b, 20xxa)], with finitely many exceptions; the proof uses root systems; \cf\ Cameron, Goethals, Seidel and Shult (1976a).  In general, no $K$ may give zero, but the minimum, over all $K$, of the largest element of (*) is bounded by a function of $\lambda$.

\annot{} The net degree of a vertex in $\Sigma$ is $d^+(v) - d^-(v)$.  [This is best viewed as degree in an all-negative bidirected graph; \cf\ p.\ 35.]  
Thms.\ 2.3 (for $\Sigma$) and 4.1 (for a bidirected graph $\Beta$, called a ``mixed signed graph'') are an interesting $f$-factor theorem in terms of net degrees.  
Thm.\ 4.1:  Given $f: V \to \bbZ$, an ``$f$-factor'' is a subgraph whose net in-degree vector $= f$.  For disjoint $S, T \subseteq V$ and a component $Q$ of $\Beta \setminus (S \cup T)$, $J(Q,S,T)$ is computed in terms of $f$ and in-degrees and out-degrees of edges among $Q, S, T$.  $q(S,T)$ is the number of $J$-odd components $Q$.  An $f$-factor exists iff $q$ satisfies an inequality.  
Thm.\ 3.2:  Fixing the maximum edge multiplicity, an Erd\H{o}s--Gallai-type characterization of net degree sequences---simplifying the theorem of Michael (2002a).  Thm.\ 4.2:  Net in-degree sequences of bidirected simple graphs.

\annot{} Properties of (mainly) largest eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Sigma)$ of the Laplacian (Kirchhoff) matrix $K(\Sigma)$ of a signed simple graph.  Thms.\ 2.5--2.6 repeat standard criteria for balance [with a sign error in (3) of each].  
Main results:  
\annotctd{} Upper bounds, all in terms of underlying graph:  
Lemma 3.1:  For connected $\Gamma$, $\lambda_1(\Gamma,\sigma) \leq \lambda_1(-\Gamma)$, equal iff $\sigma$ is antibalanced (e.g., all negative).  
Thm.\ 3.4:  $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \leq 2(n-1)$, equal iff $\Sigma \sim -K_n$.  
Thm.\ 3.5:  $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \leq$ (1) max edge degree + 2, (2) max (vertex degree + average neighbor degree), (3) a combination of these degrees; equal iff $\Sigma$ is antibalanced and $|\Sigma|$ is semiregular bipartite. 
\annotctd{} Lower bounds:  Cor.\ 3.8:  $\lambda_1(\Sigma^+) + \lambda_1(\Sigma^-) \geq \lambda_1(\Sigma) \geq \lambda_1(\Sigma^+), \lambda_1(\Sigma^-)$.  
Thm.\ 3.9:  If $\Sigma$ has a vertex of degree $n-1$, then $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \geq \lambda_1(+|\Sigma|)$, with equality iff $\Sigma$ is balanced.  
Thm.\ 3.10:  $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \geq 1 + \max_v d_{|\Sigma|}(v)$.  
\annotctd{} Interlacing:  Lemma 3.7 (special case):  $\lambda_i(\Sigma) \geq \lambda_i(\Sigma \setminus e) \geq \lambda_{i+1}(\Sigma)$, where $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \geq \lambda_2(\Sigma) \geq \cdots$.

\annot{} Ising spins, i.e.\ $\zeta: V \to \signnos$, in the triangular and honeycomb (hexagonal) lattice graphs on a torus.  Different edge weights (``bond strengths'') and signs are allowed in the three directions.  The all-negative triangular signature (i.e., ``antiferromagnetic'' with equal weights) is an exceptional case.  Switching the triangular lattice (p.\ 449, bottom) permits assuming that two chosen directions are positive.  Exceptional weights are the antibalanced triangular lattice with equal smaller weights, e.g., all weights equal (p.\ 449, bottom).  The honeycomb cannot be exceptional [because it is balanced] (p.\ 451).

\def\vS{\vec\Sigma}
\annot{} Presents a model for evolution of balance and clusterability (as in Davis 1967a) of a signed digraph and explores it via computer simulations.  
\annotctd{} Definitions:  Given a signed digraph $\vS$ and a partition $\pi$ of $V$, define the `clusterability' $c(\vS,\pi) :=$ (\# negative edges within blocks of $\pi$) $+$ (\# positive edges between blocks).  Define $\pi(\vS) :=$ any $\pi$ that minimizes $c(\vS,\pi)$.  Define $\vS(v_i) := \{\vec{v_iv_j} \in \vec E(\vS)\}$ with signs.  ($\vS$ models relations in a social group $V$.  $\vS_i$ is the graph of relations perceived by $v_i$.)
\annotctd{} Initial conditions:  Fixed $|V|$, fixed ``contentiousness'' $p :=$ the probability that an initial edge is negative, a fixed ``communication'' rule, random $\vS^0$ and, for each $v_i \in V$, $\vS_i^0 := \vS^0$.
At time $t+1$, $\vS_i^t(v_i)$ changes to $\vS_i^{t+1}(v_i)$ to minimize $d(d(\vS_i^{t+1},\pi(\vS^t))$.  Then $\vS_j^{t+1}(i)$ changes to $\vS_i^{t+1}(v_i)$ for some $v_j$ (depending on $\vS_i$ and the communication rule).
\annotctd{} Computer simulations examined the types of changes and emerging clusterability of $\vS^t$ or $\vS_i^t$ as $t$ increases, under four different communication rules, random initial conditions with various $p$, and $|V|=3,5,7,10$.  The outcomes are highly suggestive (see \S4; $p$ seems influential).

\annot{} The process is modelled by a signed digraph with some nodes $v$ marked by $\mu(v) \in \{+,-,0\}$.  (Marks $+, -$ indicate a failure in the process.)  Object: to locate the node which is origin of the failure.  An oversimplified description of the algorithm:  $\mu$ is extended arbitrarily to $V$.  Arc $(u, v)$ is discarded if $0 \neq \mu(u)\mu(v) \neq \sigma(u,v)$.  If the resulting digraph has a unique initial strongly connected component $S$, the nodes in it are possible origins.  Otherwise, this extension provides no information.  (I have overlooked: special marks on ``controlled'' nodes; speedup by stepwise extension and testing of $\mu$.)

\annot{} Extends Barahona (1982a) on finite signed lattice graphs to the computational complexity of (a) ground states (i.e., frustration index) and (more difficult) (b) partition function (generating function of frustrated edges over all states), for signed infinite lattice graphs.  [An infinite lattice graph is (apparently) a graph drawn in $\bbE^d$, crossings allowed, that has translational symmetry in $d$ independent directions.]  General conclusion:  For nonplanar ones they are NP-hard.  
Thm.\ 1:  A lattice graph in $d=2, 3$ is planar iff it does not contain a certain $d=2$ lattice graph $K_0$, the ``Basic Kuratowskian''.  Lem.\ 2:  Every 3-regular graph has a subdivision contained in $K_0$.

Thm.\ 3:  For every subgraph of an all-negative non-planar infinite lattice graph, computing $l(\Sigma)$ for finite sublattice graphs $\Sigma$ is NP-hard.  \S5.3, ``Ising models with $\{-J,+J\}$ interactions'':  For every signed non-planar infinite lattice graph, computing $l(\Sigma)$ for finite sublattice graphs $\Sigma$ is NP-hard; the proof is postponed to ``the full version of the paper'' [which has not appeared].

Jaeger shows that the Kauffman polynomial, originally defined for link diagrams and here transformed to an invariant of signed plane graphs, depends only on the edge signs and the circle matroid.

If all cycles of length $\geq 3$ are balanced, stability multipliers exist in an associated differential system (Thms.\ 9, 10).  [For weights $a_{ij}$, define gains $\phi(v_i,v_j) := a_{ij}/a_{ji}$.  Then "balance" is balance in the gain graph.  \Question:  What can be made of this?]

\annot{} Geometry of the bidirected stable set polytope $P(\Beta)$ (which generalizes the stable set polytope to bidirected graphs), defined as the convex hull of $0,1$ solutions of $x_i + x_j \leq 1$, $-x_i - x_j \leq -1$, $x_i \leq x_j$ for extroverted, introverted, and directed edges of $\Beta$.  (Thus, undirected graphs correspond to extroverted bidirected graphs.)  It suffices to treat transitively closed bidirections of simple graphs ([unfortunately] called ``bigraphs'').  [Such a bidirected graph must be balanced.]  A ``biclique'' $(S_+, S_-)$ is the Harary bipartition of a balanced complete subgraph ($S_+$, $S_-$ are the source and sink sets of the subgraph).  It is ``strong'' if no external vertex has an edge directed out of every vertex of $S_+$ and an edge directed into every vertex of $S_-$.  Strong bicliques generate facet inequalities of the polytope.  Call $\Beta$ perfect if these facets (and nonnegativity) determine $P(\Beta)$.  $\Gamma$ is ``biperfect'' if every transitively closed bidirection $\Beta$ of $\Gamma$ is perfect.  Conjectures:  $\Gamma$ is biperfect iff it is perfect.  $\Gamma$ is perfect iff some transitively closed bidirection is perfect.  [Both proved by Sewell (1996a) and independently by Ikebe and Tamura (20xxa).  See e.g.\ Tamura (1997a), Conforti (20xxa) for further work.]

\annot{} The hyperplane arrangements (over fields with characteristic $\neq 2$) corresponding to certain signed graphs are shown to be ``free''.  Explicit bases and the exponents are given.  The signed graphs are:  $+K_{n-1} \subseteq \Sigma_1 \subseteq +K_n$ (known), $\pm K_n \subseteq \Sigma_2 \subseteq \pm K_n^{\circ}$, $\pm K_n \subseteq \Sigma_3 \subseteq \pm K_n^{\circ}$; also, those obtained from $+K_n$ or $K_n^{\circ}$ by adding all negative links in the order of their larger vertex (assuming ordered vertices) (Thms.~4.1, 4.2) or smaller vertex (Thms.~4.4, 4.5); and those obtained from $\pm K_{n-1}$ by adding positive edges ahead of negative ones (Thm.\ 4.3).  
[For further developments see Edelman and Reiner (1994a).]  
Similar theorems hold for complex arrangements when the sign group is replaced by the complex $s$-th roots of unity (\S5).  The M\"obius functions of $\Sigma_2$, known from Hanlon (1988a), are deduced in \S6.

\bsgitem{\dag 1990a}  Cluster dynamics for fully frustrated systems.  \emph{Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett.}\ 65 (1990), no.\ 8, 941--944.
\annot{} A new probabilistic algorithm for clustering in a ground state (a function $s: V \to \signnos$ such that $|E^-| = l(\Sigma)$) of an all-negative (``fully frustrated'') square lattice $\Sigma$.  A ``cluster'' in $s$ is a partition of $V$ such that switching any part does not change $|E^-|$.  The objective is to join vertices connected by satisfied edges but not those joined by frustrated edges; this cannot be solved uniquely for any unbalanced $\Sigma$, so previous methods (used for balanced $\Sigma$), e.g., nearest-neighbor moves in state space (``single spin flips''), are ineffective (see p.\ 942, col.\ 1; p.\ 943, col.\ 2).  The algorithm depends on the square lattice structure since it works on squares (``plaquettes''); it succeeds because it works through plaquettes instead of edges (p.\ 943, col.\ 2).
[\Problem:  Do state-space algorithms help to approximate signed-graph clustering in the sense of Davis (1967a)?  Finding a ground state is NP-hard in general, though not for planar signed graphs (\cf\ Katai and Iawi (1978a), Barahona (1982a)).]

\annotctd{} The nonplanar problem is treated via $A(\Sigma)$, but amounts to finding $\min_\zeta (|E^+(\Sigma^\zeta)| - |E^-(\Sigma^\zeta)|)$ [which is NP-hard].  This suggests an iterative procedure which consists of switching $v \in V$ that minimizes $d^{\pm}(v)$, and repeating; it may not attain the true minimum.  [Mitra (1962a) also proposed this.]

MR 91c:05082.  Zbl 698.05026.
\annot{} The Tutte polynomial, also called ``Kauffman's bracket of a signed graph'' and equivalent to his bracket of a link diagram, is defined by a sum over spanning trees of terms that depend on the signs and activities of the edges and nonedges of the tree.  The point is that the deletion-contraction recurrence over an edge has parameters dependent on the color of the edge; also, the parameters of the two colors are related.  The purpose is to develop the bracket of a link diagram combinatorially.
\S3.2, ``Link diagrams'': how link diagrams correspond to signed plane graphs.  \S4, ``A polynomial for signed graphs'', defines the general sign-colored graph polynomial $Q[\Sigma](A,B,d)$ by deletion-contraction, modified multiplication on components, and evaluation on graphs of loops and isthmi.
\S5, ``A spanning tree expansion for $Q[G]$'' [$G$ means $\Sigma$], proves  $Q[\Sigma]$ exists by producing a spanning-tree expansion, shown independent of the edge ordering by a direct argument.  [No dichromatic form of $Q[\Sigma]$ appears; but see successor articles.]  
\S6, ``Conclusion'', remarks that $Q[\Sigma]$ is invariant under signed-graphic Reidemeister moves II and III.
[This significant work, inspired by Thistlethwaite (1988a), led to independent but related generalizations by Przytycka and Przytycki (1988a), Schw\"arzler and Welsh (1993a), Traldi (1989a), and Zaslavsky (1992b) that were partially anticipated by Fortuin and Kasteleyn (1972a).  Also see (1997a).]

\annot{} \S~X.3, ``Komposition von B\"usheln'', contains Thms.~9--16 of Ch.~X.  I restate them in terms of a signature on the edge set; K\"onig says subgraph or $p$-subgraph (``$p$-Teilgraph'') to mean what we would call the negative edge set of a signature or a balanced signature.  Instead of signed switching, K\"onig speaks of set summation (``composition'') with a vertex star (``B\"uschel'').  His theorems apply to finite and infinite graphs except where stated otherwise.  Thm.\ 9: The edgewise product of balanced signatures is balanced.  Thm.\ 10:  Every balanced signing of a finite graph is a switching of the all-positive signature.  Thm.\ 11: A signature is balanced iff it has a Harary bipartition [see Harary (1953a)].  Thm.\ 12 (cor.\ of 11):  A graph is bicolorable iff every circle has even length.  [K\"onig makes this fundamental theorem a corollary of a signed-graph theorem!]  Thm.\ 13:  A signature is balanced if (not only if) every circle of a fundamental system is positive.  Thm.\ 14:  A graph with $n$ vertices (a finite number) and $c$ components has $2^{n-c}$ balanced signings.  Thm.\ 16:  The set of all vertex switchings except for one in each finite component of $\Gamma$ forms a basis for the space of all finitely generated switchings.

MR 96e:05167.  Zbl 798.05070.
\annot{} ``Variable-signed graph'' = signed simple (di)graph $\Sigma$ with switching function $p$ and switched graph $\Sigma^{p}$.  Known basic properties of switching are established.  More interesting: planar duality when $|\Sigma|$ is planar.  The planar dual $|\Sigma|*$ inherits the same edge signs; a dual vertex has sign of the surrounding primal face boundary.  Property 9 is in effect the statements:  (1)  If a signed plane graph has $f$ negative face boundaries, then $l(\Sigma) \geq f/2$.  (2)  If the negative faces fall into two connected groups with oddly many faces in each, (1) can be improved to $\geq f/2 + 1$.  Finally, incidence matrices are studied that are only superficially related to signs.  [The paper is hard to interpret due to mathematical imprecision and language difficulty.]

Numerous other partial results, e.g., a signed $K_n$ is reconstructible if $s = \frac{1}{2}(n - r)$ where $r = 0, 1, 3$, or $2, 4, 5, 6$ with side conditions.

The [abelian] ``group chromatic number'' $\chi_1(\Gamma) = \min m$ such that, for every abelian group $\fA$ of order $\geq m$, every $\fA$-gain graph on $\Gamma$ is $\fA$-colorable (see Jaeger, Linial, Payan, and Tarsi 1992a).  Various results, e.g., $\Gamma$ is $\bbZ_2$-colorable iff it is a forest; analog of Brooks' Theorem (a strengthening because $\chi_1 \geq \chi$); analog of Nordhaus--Gaddum Theorem involving the complementary graph.

MR 2468789 (2010a:05139).  Zbl 1176.05058.
\annot{} A bidirected graph $(\Gamma,\tau)$ (where $\tau$ assigns $+$ or $-$ to each incidence) is ``strongly connected'' if there is a coherent walk from any vertex to any other vertex.  The distance $\dist_{(\Gamma,\tau)}(u,v) :=$ the minimum length of a coherent $\vec{uv}$ walk.  The diameter $\diam (\Gamma,\tau) := \max_{(u,v) \in V^2} \dist_{(\Gamma,\tau)}(u,v)$.  In $\Gamma$ define $i :=$ number of isthmi, $\gamma :=$ domination number.
Thm.\ 5:  $\Gamma$ has a strongly connected bidirection iff $|V|=1$ or $\Gamma$ is connected and minimum degree $\geq 2$.  
Thm.\ 10:  If $\Gamma$ has strongly connected bidirections $\tau_j$ ($j=1,\ldots,k$), then $\min_i \diam(\Gamma,\tau_j) \leq 2i + 2\min(i,1) + 5\gamma - 1.$  When $i=0$, $\tau_j$ can be chosen so $\Sigma(\Gamma,\tau_j)$ is all positive.  \Conjecture.  Also true when $i>0$.
Thm.\ 11:  If $\Gamma$ has a strongly connected bidirection, then $\min_j \diam(\Gamma,\tau_j) \leq 6\gamma + 3.$  By Fig.\ 8 this bound must be at least $6\gamma + 1$ if isthmi are allowed.
The proofs are constructive, esp.\ by extending to $\Gamma$ a bidirection of a dominating subgraph.

MR 850837 (87k:82004).
\annot{} Detailed and readable descriptions, often simplified and relatively combinatorial, of the state of knowledge about Ising systems in the form of signed graphs and weighted signed graphs.  [Relatively accessible to combinatorists.]  
Dictionary:  ''model'' = graph with signs and usually weights, ``ferromagnetic'' = positive edge, ``antiferromagnetic'' = negative edge, ``fully frustrated'' = all girth circles are negative, ``state'' = $s: V \to \signnos$, ``ground state'' = state with fewest frustrated edges, ``ground state degeneracy'' = number of ground states (1 being nondegenerate), ``excited state'' = non-ground state.
\S2.1.1, ``Ground state degeneracy of the ANNNI-chain'', on chains of triangles with two bond signs and strengths, $J_1$ and $J_2$.  The number and description of ground states are treated in detail, as well as less combinatorial physical quantities.  
\S2.3.1, ``Periodic frustrated chains'':  All weights equal, so this is signed graphs.  Restates Doman and Williams (1982a) in terms of a path with distance-2 edges, signed with period 4.  The path edges have constant sign (either $+$ or $-$ by switching) and weight $B$; the distance-2 edges are $+---$ with weight $J$.
\annotctd{} \S3.1.2b, ``Star-triangle transformation'':  Edge signs and weights transform.  The triangle-star transformation on a negative triangle gives imaginary signs.  [\Question.  Does this indicate a use for complex unit gains?]
\S3.2, ``Triangular lattice'':  Based on Houtappel (1950a,b) and Wannier (1950a).
\S3.3.1, ``Union Jack lattice'':  Square lattice, edges weighted $J_1$, with alternating diagonals in alternating squares weighted $J_2<0$.  All triangles are negative.  $|J_2|/J_1$ determines behavior.  For ratio $1$ (a signed graph), there are $\approx C^{|V|}$ ground states for a finite sublattice, where $C \geq \surd(17/8)$.
\S3.3.2, ``Villain's odd model'':  \Cf\ Villain (1977a).
\S3.3.3, ``Hexagon lattice'': \Cf\ Wolff and Zittartz (1982a, 1983a).
\S3.3.4, ``Pentagon lattice'':  \Cf\ Waldor, Wolff, and Zittartz (1985a).
\S3.3.5, ``Kagom\'e lattice'':  Various periodic sign patterns; references.
\S3.3.6, ``Connection between GS [ground state] degeneracy and existence of a phase transition at $T_c=0$'':  The conjecture of Hoever, Wolff, and Zittartz (1981a).  Also, a conjecture of S\"uto on the exact conditions under which the ground states are connected in the state graph.
\S3.4, ``Frustrated Ising systems with crossing interactions'':  Several more complicated extensions of previous models, usually by adding distance-2 edges (``nnn interactions'').  See (2) below.
\annotctd{} \S4.1, ``fcc antiferromagnet'':  All-negative face-centered cubic lattice graph.  Interesting remarks on how ground state and near-ground state structure might influence physical properties.
\S4.2, ``Fully and partially frustrated simple cubic lattice'':  The fully frustrated planar square lattice can be stacked in various ways to produce differently frustrated cubic lattices.
\S4.3, ``AF pyrochlore model'':  All-negative tetrahedra joined at corners.
\S4.4, ``ANNNI-model'':  All-positive cubic lattice with negative distance-2 vertical edges.
\annotctd{} Two frequent remarks:  (1)  An external magnetic field reduces the number of ground states.  (2)  Slightly more complicated graphs give models that are not exactly solvable.  [Combinatorial explanations:  The magnetic field corresponds to an extra vertex, positively adjacent to all $V(\Sigma)$; see Barahona (1982a).  The more complicated graphs are nonplanar; Barahona (1982a) and Istrail (2000a) indicate that this is the obstacle to exact solution.]

\annot{} \S8.3: ``Bithreshold graphs'' (from Hammer and Mahadev (1985a)), and \S8.4: ``Strict 2-threshold graphs''  (from Hammer, Mahadev, and Peled 1989a), characterize two types of threshold-like graph.  In each, a different signed graph $H$ is defined on $E(\Gamma)$ so that $\Gamma$ is of the specified type iff $H$ is balanced.  (The negative part of $H$ is the ``conflict graph'', $\Gamma^*$.)  The reason is that one wants $\Gamma$ to decompose into two subgraphs, and the subgraphs, if they exist, must be the two parts of the Harary bipartition of $H$.  [Thus one also gets a fast recognition algorithm, though not the fastest possible, for the desired type from the fast recognition of balance.]
\codes{\CSG:~\CBal:~\CAppl}
\annotctd{} \S8.5: ``Recognizing threshold dimension $2$.''  Based on Raschle and Simon (1995a).  Given: $\Gamma \subseteq K_n$ such that $\Gamma^*$ is bipartite.  Orient $-K_n$ so that $\Gamma$-edges are introverted and the other edges are extroverted.  Their ``alternating cycle'' is a coherent closed walk in this orientation.  Let us call it ``black'' (in a given black-white proper coloring of $\Gamma^*$) if its $\Gamma$-edges are all black.  
Thm.\ 8.5.2 (Hammer, Ibaraki, and Peled 1981a):  If there is a black coherent closed walk in $E_0$, then there is a coherent tour (closed trail) of length $6$ (which is a pair of joined triangles or a hexagon---their $AP_5$ and $AP_6$).  Thm.\ 8.5.4:  Given that there is no black coherent hexagon, one can recolor quickly so there is no black coherent $6$-tour.  Thm.\ 8.5.9:  Given that there is no `double' coherent hexagon (the book's ``double $AP_6$''), one can recolor quickly so there is no black coherent hexagon.  Thm.\ 8.5.28:  Any $2$-coloring of $\Gamma^*$ can be quickly transformed into one with no `double' coherent hexagon.  
[\Question.  Can any of this, especially Thm.\ 8.5.2, be generalized to arbitrary oriented all-negative graphs $\Beta$?  Presumably, this would require first defining a conflict graph on the introverted edges of $\Beta$.  More remotely, consider generalizing to bidirected complete or arbitrary graphs.]

\annot{} Thm.\ 1: For all $n$, the number of unlabelled two-graphs of order $n$ [i.e., switching isomorphism classes of signed $K_n$'s] equals the number of unlabelled even-degree simple graphs on $n$ vertices.  The key to the proof is that a permutation fixing a switching class fixes a signing in the class.  (Seidel (1974a) proved the odd case, where the fixing property is simple.)  Thm.\ 2: The same for the labelled case.  [More in Cameron (1977b), Cameron and Wells (1986a), Cheng and Wells (1984a, 1986a).]

\bsgitem{1995a}  The fully frustrated hypercubic model is glassy and aging at large $D$.  \emph{J.\ Phys.\ A} 28 (1995), 327--334.
\annot{} Ising (spins, i.e., vertex values, $\in \bbS^0 = \signnos$) and $XY$ (spins $\in \bbS^1$, i.e., complex units) models behave differently on a totally frustrated signed hypercube graph $Q_D$ (all squares are negative).  
Numerical study of Ising spins of two such signatures:  $\sigma_1(x,x+e_\mu) = (-1)^{x_1+\cdots+x_{\mu-1}}$, while $\sigma_2$ [``simplex'' in the construction must mean hypercube] is from Derrida, Pomeau, Toulouse, and Vannimenus (1979a); ``with identical results''.  [Reason:  $\Sigma_1 \cong \Sigma_2$ under the coordinate transformation $i \leftrightarrow D+1-i$.]  
Based on simulations with $D \leq 47$, Ising ground states seem to be few and hard to find.  Near-ground states are easier to find but, apparently, tend to be far from ground states.  
\annotctd{} For positive temperature $T$, as $A(\Sigma)$ (``interaction matrix $J_{x,y}$'') is orthogonal [up to scaling], one can approximate by averaging over orthogonal adjacency matrices. 
\annotctd{} In simulations with $XY$ spins the ground state is highly accessible.

MR 2008j:15038.  Zbl 1140.15007.  arXiv	:0705.3599.
\annot{} The matrices (except those of orders 1, 2) are signed-graph ``adjacency'' matrices $A$ with diagonal entries $0, 1, -1$.  There are 3 infinite families and a few sporadic examples of maximal such signed graphs; all of which satisfy $A^2=4I$.  
The proof uses ``charged signed graphs'', i.e., a signed graph with $0$, $+1$, or $-1$ attached to each vertex (and appearing on the diagonal of the adjacency matrix).  Switching a vertex negates the charge.  Dictionary:  ``strongly equivalent'' = switching isomorphic; ``bipartite'' = switching isomorphic to its negation.  
[The charged signed graphs are really oriented all-negative graphs with half edges.  The adjacency matrix is not $A(\Sigma)$ but an oriented adjacency matrix $\vec A$ defined by $\vec a_{ij} =$ net in-degree of $v_iv_j$ edges at $v_i$.

\annot{} Treats signed simple graphs via the Abelson--Rosenberg (1958a) structure matrix $R$.  Observes that balance holds iff $R = rr\transpose$ for some vector $r \in \{p,n\}^{V}$; also, asserts that frustration index $l(\Sigma) =$ minimum number of negative edges over all switchings of $\Sigma$.  [Proved in Barahona, Maynard, Rammal, and Uhry (1982a).]  
Asserts an algorithm for computing $l(\Sigma)$: switch vertices whose negative degree exceeds positive degree, one at a time, until no such vertices remain [incorrect: consider $K_6$, all positive except a negative $C_6$].

``Boolean multiplication'' [Boolean Hadamard product] of separate positive, negative, and awareness adjacency matrices to form mixed adjacency matrices.  
Assumption:  Over time the signed digraph evolves towards sign-transitive closure constrained by the awareness arcs, whose absence impedes transitive closure.  Four specific ``mechanisms'' are postulated for the evolution, of which two are essential (Lemma 1).  Propositions present conclusions (no surprises) about intermediate and final (i.e., constrained sign-transitively closed) signed digraphs.  
Dictionary:  ``balance closure'' = sign-transitive closure, i.e., arc-transitive closure with positive triple sign.  
[The idea of constrained closure is mathematically intriguing, though the notation is heavy.]  
[For more on sign-transitive closure in signed digraphs see Doreian and Krackhardt (2001a).]

The Cartwright--Harary degree of balance (1956a), computed from circles, is modified to take account of strength.

This is said to be more consistent with the experimental data reported herein.

\annot{} Studies a dichromatic form, $P_\Sigma(x,y,z)$, of Kauffman's (1989a) Tutte polynomial of a sign-colored graph.  The deletion-contraction parameters are $a_\epsilon = 1$, $b_\epsilon = x^\epsilon$ for $\epsilon = \pm1$; the initial values are such that $P_\Sigma(x,y,z) = y\inv Q_\Sigma(a,b; y,z)$ of Zaslavsky (1992b).  The polynomial is shown to be, in effect, an invariant of the sign-colored graphic matroid.

A special focus is the degrees of the polynomial.  First Main Thm.\ 3.1: Formulas for the maximum and minimum combined degrees of $P_\Sigma(x,y,z)$.  
\S7, ``Signature of a graph'', studies the signature ($\sigma$ in the paper, $s$ here) of the Kirchhoff matrix $K(\Sigma)$ ($B_\Sigma$ in the paper) obtained by changing the diagonal of $A(\Sigma)$ so the row sums are $0$.  Prop.\ 7.2 is a matrix-tree theorem [entirely different from that of Zaslavsky (1982a)].  The Second Main Thm.\ 8.1 bounds the signature: $|V| - 2\beta_0(\Sigma^-) + 1 \leq s \leq |V| - 2\beta_0(\Sigma^+) + 1$ ($\beta_0 =$ number of components), with equality characterized.  The Kirchhoff matrix is further examined later on.
\S9, ``Dual graphs'': Differing from most studies, here the dual of a sign-colored plane graph is the planar dual with same edge signs [however, negating all colors is a triviality].
\S10, ``Periodic graphs'':  These graphs might be called branched covering graphs of signed gain graphs with finite cyclic gain group.  [Thus they generalize the periodic graphs of Collatz (1978a) and others.]

The ``index'' is the largest number of ``independent'' edges, where ``independent'' has a complicated recursive definition (unrelated to matchings), one of whose requirements is that the edges be ``singular'' (simple, i.e., nonmultiple links).  The positive or negative index of a sign-colored graph is similar except that the independent edges must all be positive or negative.  [The general notion is that of the index of a graph-\-sub\-graph pair.  The signs pick out complementary subgraphs.]

\annot{} Cycle parity on surface $S$ = homomorphism $\rho: \pi(S) \to \bbZ_2 \cong \signs$, equivalently $\rho: H_1(S;\bbZ_2 \to \bbZ_2 \cong \signs$.  $\rho$ implies a signature (actually, a switching class) of any embedded graph $\Gamma$.  There are one nontrivial type of cycle parity on an orientable surface and three on a nonorientable surface $N_d$, different for odd and even $d$, except two on $N_2$ and one on  $N_1$.  
If $\Gamma \embeds S$ so every face boundary is even (``even embedding''), $\rho(W) = |W| \mod 2$ for closed walks is a cycle parity.  
Thm.\ 9:  For three of the six types on $N_d$'s, there is a negative cut that opens $N_d$ to an orientable surface.

MR 1399678 (97e:05078).  Zbl 856.05029.
\annot{} By ``canonical double covering'' of $\Gamma$ they mean the signed covering graph $\tilde\Sigma$ of $\Sigma = -\Gamma$, but without reversing orientation at the negative covering vertex [as one would do in a signed covering graph (\cf\ e.g.\ Zaslavsky 1992a)], because orientable embeddings of $\Gamma$ are being lifted to orientable embeddings of $\tilde\Sigma$.  [Thus these should be thought of not as signed graphs but rather as voltage (i.e., gain) graphs with $2$-element gain group.]  Instead of reversal they twist the negative-vertex rotations by taking a suitable power.  In some cases this allows classifying the orientable, regular embeddings of $\tilde\Sigma$.

MR 839663 (87i:82096).
\annot{} Signs are defined for arbitrary proper subhypercubes of the hypercube $Q_d$ [thus giving a signed hypergraph].  A ``plaquette" (this is non-standard) is a $k-1$-dimensional band around a $k$-subhypercube; its sign is the product of signs of its $k-1$-faces.  Overblocking means not all plaquettes can simultaneously be negative (``frustrated'').  The interesting proof is by the adjacency graph of 2-faces of a 3-cube in $Q_d$.  Identify opposite 2-faces to a single vertex whose sign is the product of 2-face signs; the faces of a 3-cube form a triangle whose vertices alternate in sign, if all plaquettes were negative.  Conclusion:  All 2-faces cannot be negative, if $d>2$.  
[Presumably a similar argument should be applied to plaquettes of $k-1$-faces of a $k$-cube, $k>3$, but it is not.  Is it valid?  There would be one plaquette per dimension.]

\annot{} In the signed graph $(K_n, \sigma)$ of a two-graph (see D.E.~Taylor 1977a), a ``clique'' is a vertex set that induces an antibalanced subgraph.  A two-graph is ``completely regular'' if every clique of size $i$ lies in the same number of cliques of size $i + 1$, for all $i$.  Thm.\ 1.4 implies there is only a small finite number of completely regular two-graphs.

MR 1601751 (99b:82056).  Zbl 896.60078.
\annot{} See especially \S3, ``The standard SK picture''.  The Hamiltonian $H_\sigma(s)=-\sum_{vw \in E} \sigma(vw)s(v)s(w)$ is standard.  Criticizes the typical physics application of randomly signed (and possibly weighted) $K_n$ (Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model) to $\bbZ^d$-lattice graphs by limits of finite (cubical) subgraphs.  Raises the question of a ``pure state'' (\cf\ M\'ezard, Parisi, and Virasoro (1987a) \etal) of a signed $K_n$, where a state is $s: V \to \signnos$ and a pure state is apparently a linear combination of or probability distribution on states, especially in the $\bbZ^d$ limit.  A pure state is not well defined but is related to states of low frustration (and high probability).  
[\Question.  Is there a graphical meaning of a pure state, based on the (ambiguous) physics definition?  It should involve states with low frustration, because they dominate the partition function $Z(\sigma)=\sum_s e^{H_\sigma(s)}$, and on the qualities desired for computing quantities of physical interest, especially in terms of $H$ and $Z$.]  
\annotctd{} A ``metastate'' is a measure on states, essentially a linear combination with explicit coefficients.  Pure states on $\bbZ^d$ should be metastates.  See (1997a).  
[\Question.  Is there a graph-theory meaning to all this?  Does it lead to a definition of frustration in an infinite signed (or gain) graph?]

MR 2697393 (no rev).
\annot{} Ch.\ 1: ``Separability''.  Graphical characterization of bias-matroid $k$-sepa\-ra\-tions of a biased graph.  Also, some results on the possibility of $k$-sepa\-ra\-tions in which one or both sides are connected subgraphs.

\codes{\CGG:~\CMatrd:~\CStr}
\annotctd{} Ch.\ 2: ``Representability''.  The bias matroid of every signed graph is representable over all fields with characteristic $\neq 2$.  For which signed graphs is it representable in characteristic $2$ (and therefore representable over $\GF(4)$, by the theorem of Geoff Whittle, A characterization of the matroids representable over $\GF(3)$ and the rationals.  \emph{J.\ Combin.\ Theory Ser.\ B} 65 (1995), 222--261.  MR 96m:05046.  Zbl 835.05015.)?  
Solved (for $3$-connected signed graphs having vertex-disjoint negative circles and hence nonregular matroid).  There are two essentially different types: (i) two balanced graphs joined by three independent unbalanced digons; (ii) a cylindrical signed graph, possibly with balanced graphs adjoined by $3$-sums.  [See notes on Seymour (1995a) for definition of (ii) and for Lov\'asz's structure theorem in the case without vertex-disjoint negative circles.]
\annotctd{} Furthermore, the representations of these graphs in characteristic not $2$ are all canonical signed-graphic, while any representations over $\GF(4)$ are canonical $\bbZ_3$-gain graphic.

MR 2008c:05148.  Zbl 1136.05060.
\annot{} Given: $\Phi$ with gain group $\fS(\Omega)$, the symmetric group of a set $\Omega$, $A \subseteq V$, and $\omega: A \to \Omega$.  An $A$-path is a path $P$ with endpoints $v,w \in A$ and internally disjoint from $A$; it is ``returning'' if $\omega(v)\phi(P) = \omega(w)$.  Thm.  The largest number of disjoint returning $A$-paths equals the minimum, over all satisfied edge subsets $F$, of the maximum number of disjoint $[A \cup V(F)]$-paths in $\|\Phi\| \setminus F$.  [For ``satisfied'' edges see Zaslavsky (2009a).]
Generalizes and simplifies Chudnovsky \etal\ (2006a), which is the case where the gains act regularly and $\omega=$ constant.

MR 1312271 (95m:82070).  Zbl 844.60095.
\annot{} Physics on hypercube $Q_D$  with complex unit gains $\phi$ ($\phi$ is a ``$U(1)$ gauge field'').  Spins $\zeta(v)$ can be (i) complex units or (ii) Gaussian random complex numbers, or (iii) $\zeta$ can be a unit vector $\in \bbC^n$; mainly, (ii).  
Assumed:  each square (``plaquette'') $C_{\alpha,\beta}$ (with vertices $x,x+e_\alpha,x+e_\alpha+e_\beta,x+e_\beta,x$ for any $x \in V(Q_D)$) has gain $e^{iB\sigma_{\alpha,\beta}}$ in a fixed orientation, where $\sigma_{\alpha,\beta} \in \signnos$ determines which orientations have gains $e^{iB}$ and $e^{-iB}$.  $B=0$ gives balance; $B=\pi$ gives all plaquette gains $-1$ (full frustration).  
If $D \leq 3$, but not if $D > 3$, the choices of $\sigma$ are equivalent by switching in the gain group $\bbC^\times$.  The statistics of random $\sigma$ are investigated.

MR 83j:05048.  Zbl 471.68041, (487.68058).
\annot{} Main Theorem: For a simple, connected signed graph of order $n$ and size $|E| = m$, the frustration index $l(\Sigma) \leq \frac 12 [ m - \frac 12(n-1) ]$.  The proof is algorithmic, by constructing a (relatively) small deletion set.  
Dictionary:  $\Sigma$ is an ``edge-2-colored graph'' $(G, c)$, $E^+$ and $E^-$ are called $E_1$ and $E_2$, a balanced subgraph is ``generalized bipartite'', and $m - l(\Sigma)$ is what is calculated.  
[This gives an upper bound on $D(\Gamma) := \max_\sigma l(\Gamma,\sigma)$ for a connected, simple graph, whereas Akiyama, Avis, Chv\'atal, and Era (1981a) has a lower bound on $D$.]

MR 82b:05111.  Zbl 426.05048. 
\annot{} A signed $K_n$ is balanced or antibalanced or has a positive and a negative circle of every length $k = 3, \ldots, n$.  For odd $n$, the signed $K_n$ if not balanced has at least $\frac{n-1}{2}$ negative Hamiltonian circles.  For even $n$, $-K_n$ does not maximize the number of negative circles.  A ``circle basis'' is a set of the smallest number of circles whose signs determine all circle signs.  This is proved to have ${n-1 \choose 2}$ members.  Furthermore, there is a basis consisting of $k$-circles for each $k = 3, \ldots, n$.  [A circle basis in this sense is the same as a basis of circles for the binary cycle space.

MR 92j:05114.  Zbl 751.05060.
\annot{} Ch.\ 1: ``$A$-balance'' (p.\ 91).  Let F be a spanning subgraph of $K_n$ and $A$ a signed $K_n$.  The ``product'' of signed graphs is $\Sigma_1 * \Sigma_2$ whose underlying graph is $|\Sigma_1| \cup |\Sigma_2|$, signed as in $\Sigma_i$ for an edge in only one $\Sigma_i$ but with sign $\sigma_1(e)\sigma_2(e)$ if in both.  Let $\cG_F$ denote the group of all signings of $F$; let $\cG_F(A)$ be the group generated by the set of restrictions to $F$ of isomorphs of $A$.  A member of $\cG_F(A)$ is ``$A$-balanced''; other members of $\cG_F$ are $A$-unbalanced.  
We let $\hat \Sigma$ denote the coset of $\Sigma$ and $\approx$ the ``isomorphism'' of cosets induced by graph isomorphism, i.e., cosets are isomorphic if they have isomorphic members.  Let $\dot \Sigma$ be the isomorphism class of $\Sigma$, $\hat{\hat \Sigma}$ the isomorphism class of $\hat \Sigma$, and ${\overset \circ \to \Sigma} := \bigcup \hat{\hat \Sigma}$.  
Now choose a system of representatives of the coset isomorphism classes, $R = \{\Sigma_1, \ldots, \Sigma_l\}$.  Prop.\ 1.4.1. Each $\dot \Sigma$ intersects exactly one $\hat \Sigma_i$.  Let $R_i = \{\Sigma_{i1}, \ldots, \Sigma_{ia_i}\}$ be a system of representatives of $\hat \Sigma_i / \cong$, arranged so that $|E^-(\Sigma_{ij})|$ is a minimum when $j = 1$.  This minimum value is the ``[line] index of $A$-imbalance'' of each $\Sigma \in {\overset \circ \to \Sigma}_i$ and is denoted by $\delta_A(\Sigma)$.  (\S2.1:  Taking $A$ to be $K_n$ with one vertex star all negative makes this equal the frustration index $l(\Sigma)$.)  
Prop.\ 1.5.1. $\delta_A(\Sigma)$ is the least number of edges whose sign needs to be changed to make $\Sigma$ $A$-balanced.  Prop.\ 1.5.2.  $\delta_A(\Sigma) = |E^-(\Sigma)|$ iff $|E^-(\Sigma) \cap E^-(F,\beta)| \leq \frac{1}{2} |E^-(F,\beta)|$ for every signing $\beta)$ of $F$.  Finally, for each $\Sigma \in \cG_F$ define the ``$\Sigma$-relation'' on coset isomorphism classes $\hat{\hat\Sigma}_i$ to be the relation generated by negating in $\Sigma_1$ all the edges of $E^-(\Sigma)$, extended by isomorphism and transitivity.  This is well defined (Prop.\ 1.6.1) and symmetric (Prop.\ 1.6.2) and is preserved under negation of coset isomorphism classes (Prop.\ 1.6.4, 1.6.5).  Self-negative classes, such that $\hat{\hat\Sigma} \approx -\hat{\hat\Sigma}$, are the subject of Prop.\ 1.6.3.
\annotctd{} Ch.\ 2: ``Signed complete graphs'' (p.\ 106).  \S2.5:  ``$H$-graphs''.  If $H$ is a signed $K_h$, a ``standard $H$-graph'' $\Sigma$ is a signed $K_n$ such that $\Sigma^- \cong H^- \cupdot\ K_{n-h}^c$.  Prop.\ 2.5.3.  Assume certain hypotheses on $n$, $|X_0|$ for $X_0 \subseteq V(\Sigma)$, and a quantity $D^-(H)$ derived from negative degrees.  Then $|E^-| = l(\Sigma) \Rightarrow$ the induced subgraph $G\ind X_0$ is a standard $H$-graph with $|E^-(\Sigma\ind X_0)| = l(\Sigma\ind X_0)$.  The cases $H^- = K_1$, $K_2$, and a $2$-edge path are worked out.  For the former, Prop.\ 2.5.3 reduces to Soza\'nski's (1976a) Thm.\ 3.

Shows that Conjecture 1 is false for even $n \geq 6$.  Some results on the odd case.
\annotctd{} \Conjecture\ 1 (Tomescu).  A signed complete graph of odd order has the most negative circles iff it is antibalanced.  (Partial results are in \S5.3.)  [This example maximizes $l(\Sigma)$.  A somewhat related conjecture is in Zaslavsky (1997b).]  \Conjecture\ 2.  See (1993a).  \Conjecture\ 3.  Given $k$ and $m$, there is $n(k,m)$ so that for any $n \geq n(k,m)$, a signed $K_n$ with $m$ negative edges has (a) the most negative $k$-circles iff the negative edges are pairwise nonadjacent; (b) the fewest iff the negative edges form a star.

Such graphs have general dichromatic polynomials [see Przytycka and Przytycki (1988a), Traldi (1989a), and Zaslavsky (1992b)], as [partially] anticipated by Fortuin and Kasteleyn (1972a).

\annot{} $S_n$ is a symmetric $n$-signed graph.  Further definitions as in the notes to 
Sampathkumar, Siva Kota Reddy, and Subramanya (2008a, 2010c).  
\S2, ``Balance in an $n$-sigraph $S_n = (G,\sigma)$.''  Prop.\ 1 (generalizing Harary (1953a) for signed graphs): $S_n$ is balanced iff for each pair $u,v\in V$, every $uv$-path has the same gain.  [The simple proof of $\implies$, which depends on the fact that the gain group has exponent 2, is the best I have seen.  The proof of $\Leftarrow$ is incorrect.]  Prop.\ 4:  $\Sigma_{S_n}$ is balanced iff $V = V_1 \cupdot V_2$ such that an edge has identity gain iff it lies within $V_1$ or $V_2$.  Good proof via $\min$ as defined in the cited notes.
\S3, ``Clustering in an $n$-sigraph $S_n = (G,\sigma)$.''  $S_n$ is ``clusterable'' if $V$ has a partition $\pi$ such that an edge has identity gain iff it lies within a part of $\pi$.  Prop.\ 5 generalizes Davis (1967a) to $n$-signed graphs.  
\S3.1:  ``Local balance (Local $i$-balance) in an $n$-sigraph $S_n = (G,\sigma)$.''  Prop.\ 6 generalizes Harary (1955a) on local balance [with a good proof].  Prop.\ 8:  A complete $S_n$ is balanced iff every triangle on one vertex is balanced.  Prop.\ 9 [incorrect]:  The same for imbalance.  Prop.\ 10 gives the number of balanced $S_n = (K_k,\sigma)$ [incorrect; the correct value is $2^{\lceil k/2 \rceil (n-1)}$].  
[The results are equally true, \emph{mutatis mutandis}, without assuming symmetry.]
[Minor typos require correction.]

A signed cut $D$ [\cf\ Chen and Wang (2009a)] is described by a signed subset $X=X^+\cupdot X^-$ of $V$.  Lemma 3:  $\Sigma$ has a circular $r$-flow iff it has an orientation such that $1/(r-1) \leq |\partial^+(X)|/|\partial^-(X)| \leq r-1$ for every $X$.  Here $\partial^\epsilon(X)$ is the set of ends in $X$, of $e \in D$, that have a certain sign.

\annot{$\bbT$} Complex unit gain graphs have gain group $\bbT := \{z \in \bbC: |z|=1\}$.  Bounds on largest and smallest eigenvalues of $A(\Phi)$ (\S3, ``Eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix'') and $K(\Phi)$ (\S4, ``Eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix'').  Most (except Thm.\ 4.9, where the edge gains affect the bounds) generalize known bounds for graphs, the ``signless Laplacian'' ($K(-\Gamma)$), or signed graphs.  Some generalizations are not obvious.  
Lemmas 3.1, 4.1: The spectrum of $A$ or $L$ depends only on the switching class.  Lemmas 3.2, 4.2:  If $\Phi$ is balanced, the spectra are the same as those of $\|\Phi\|$.  [\Problem.  Generalize B.D.\ Acharya (1980a) by proving the converse.]

\annot{} Oriented hypergraphs generalize bidirected graphs:  Each incidence gets a direction, or sign.  Main interest:  The linear dependencies of columns of a $(0,\pm1)$-matrix, treated as the incidence matrix of an oriented hypergraph.  Techniques are generalizations of those of signed graphic matroids (Zaslavsky 1982a) but more complicated.  The methods are most applicable to the matrices known as ``balanceable''.

P.\ 487, top:  A satisfied state exists iff $\Phi$ is balanced [Ryshkov and Rybnikov (1997a); necessity is incorrect].  Lemma 4.1 appears to mean that a satisfied state exists iff it exists on each member of an arbitrary basis of the binary cycle space.  [Not true, but interesting.  The following special case, also invalid in general, was the author's intention (as I was told, Oct.\ 2000):  $\Phi$ is balanced iff every member of a circle basis is balanced.  The special case Lemma 4.2 is correct, because it is essentially homotopic.]  [See Rybnikov and Zaslavsky (2005a, 2006a).]

\annot{} Let $\Phi$ be a permutation gain graph, with gain group $\fG$ acting on a set $\fQ$, and with underlying graph the $d$-cell adjacency graph of a kind of simply connected polyhedral $d$-cell complex.  A ``quality translation'' is a satisfied state: a mapping $s : V \to \fQ$ such that $s(w) = s(v)\phi(e;v,w)$ for every edge.  A  ``circuit'' is a closed walk that is not trivially reducible.  Call a ``$d-2$-circle'' any circle contained in the star of a $d-2$-cell.  Assume $\fG$ and $\fQ$ fixed.  Thms.\ 1--2 can be stated:  In the free group on the edge set, the $d-2$-circles generate all circuits.  Also, $\Phi$ is balanced iff all $d-2$-circles have identity gain.  Thm.\ 3:  Identity gain of all $d-2$-circles is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a satisfied state.  [Necessity is incorrect because the action may have nontrivial kernel.]  The idea of quality transfer goes back to Vorono{\u\i} in 1908.  
[See Rybnikov (1999a) and Rybnikov and Zaslavsky (2005a) for more.]
\annotctd{} Sufficiency in Thm.\ 3 is applied to lifting of tilings of Euclidean and spherical space.  Thm.\ 4 (1996a, Thm.\ 9):  Balance (``canonical definition'') of $\Phi$ is sufficient for lifting a tiling of $\bbR^d$.  Here the qualities are affine functions.  Thms.\ 5--6 (1996a, Thm.\ 10):  Balance within each $d-3$-cell star implies lifting.

\annot{} In the $n$-fold sign group $\{+,-\}^n$ an element is ``symmetric'' if it is its own reverse.  A (symmetric) $n$-signed graph is a gain graph $\Phi = (\Gamma, \phi)$ which has (symmetric) gains $\phi(e) \in \{+,-\}^n$.  [Equivalent to having arbitrary gains in $\{+,-\}^{\lceil n/2 \rceil}$.]  Only symmetric $n$-signed graphs are treated.  
\annotctd{$\Sigma_\Phi$} [The mapping $\min: \{+,-\}^n \to \{+,-\}$ by $\min(a_1,\ldots,a_n) = +$ if all $a_i=+$ and $= -$ otherwise gives a signed graph $\Sigma_\Phi$ with signs $\sigma_\Phi(e) := \min(\phi(e))$.]
\annotctd{} Def.: $\Phi_1 \simeq \Phi_2$ (``cycle isomorphism'') if there is an isomorphism $\|\Phi_1\| \cong \|\Phi_2\|$ that preserves circle gains.  Prop.\ 3:  Symmetric $n$-signed graphs are cycle isomorphic iff they are switching isomorphic---generalizing $n=1$ due to Soza\'nski (1980a), Zaslavsky (1981b).  [The proof (omitted) requires that the gain group have exponent 2.]

\annot{} Tutte and dichromatic polynomials of signed matroids, generalized from Kauffman (1989a); this is the $2$-colored case of Zaslavsky's (1992b) strong Tutte functions of colored matroids.  [For terminology see Zaslavsky 1992b.]  Applications to knot theory.
\annotctd{} \S2, ``A matroid polynomial'', is foundational.  
Prop.\ 2.1 characterizes strong Tutte functions of signed matroids by two equations connecting their parameters and their values on signed coloops and loops.  [If the function is $0$ on positive coloops, the proof is incomplete and the functions = $0$ except on $M = \eset$ are missed.]  
Prop.\ 2.2:  The Tutte (basis-expansion) polynomial of a function $W$ of signed matroids is well defined iff $W$ is a strong Tutte function.  Eq.\ (2.8) says $W =$ the rank generating polynomial $Q_\Sigma$ (here also called $W$) if certain variables are nonzero; (2.9) shows there are only $3$ essential variables since, generically, only the ratio of parameters is essential [an observation that applies to general strong Tutte functions].
Prop.\ 2.5 computes $Q_\Sigma$ of a $2$-sum.
\annotctd{} \S3 adapts $Q_\Sigma$ to Kauffman's and Murasugi's (1989a) signed-graph polynomials and simplifies some of the latter's results (esp.\ his chromatic degree).  \S4, ``The anisotropic Ising model'', concerns the Hamiltonian of a state of a signed graph.  The partition function is essentially an evaluation of $Q_\Sigma$.  \S5, ``The bracket polynomial'', and \S6, ``The span of the bracket polynomial'': Certain substitutions reduce $Q_\Sigma$ to $1$ variable; its properties are examined, esp.\ in light of knot-theoretic questions.  Thm.\ 6.4 characterizes signed matroids with ``full span'' (a degree property).  \S7, ``Adequate and semi-adequate link diagrams'', generalizes those notions to signed matroids.  \S8, ``Zero span matroids'': when does span(bracket) = $0$?  Yes if $M = M(\Sigma)$ where $\Sigma$ reduces by Reidemeister moves to $K_1$, but the converse is open (and significant if true).

\annot{} A group $\Ts(\Sigma)$ is defined from a signed complete graph $\Sigma$: its generators are the vertices and its relations are $(uv^{-\sigma(uv)})^2 = 1$ for each edge $uv$.  It is invariant under switching, hence determined by the two-graph of $\Sigma$.  A certain subgraph of a Coxeter group of a tree $T$ is isomorphic to $\Ts(\Sigma)$ for suitable $\Sigma_T$ constructed from $T$.  [Generalized in Cameron, Seidel, and Tsaranov (1994a).  More on $\Sigma_T$ under Tsaranov (1992a).  The construction of $\Sigma_T$ is simplified in Cameron (1994a).]

Result (3.4) readily generalizes (by the negative-subdivision trick) to: every $\cC_-(\Sigma)$ is a binary clutter, that is, a port of a binary matroid.  [This is also immediate from the construction of $L_0(\Sigma)$.]

\annot{} In Thm.\ 6.6, p.\ 546, interpreting $G$ as a signed graph and an ``odd-$K_4$'' as a subdivision of $-K_4$ gives the signed graph generalization, due to Gerards and Schrijver (1986a) [also Gerards (1990a), Thm.\ 3.2.3].  Let $\Sigma$ be a signed simple, 3-connected graph in which no 3-separation has $> 4$ edges on both sides.  Then $\Sigma$ has no $-K_4$ minor iff either (i) deleting some vertex makes it balanced (the complete lift matroid of this type is graphic); or (ii) it is cylindrical: it can be drawn on a cylindrical surface that has a lengthwise red line so that an edge is negative iff it crosses the red line an odd number of times [Note: the extended lift matroid of this type is cographic, as observed by, I think, Gerards and Schrijver or by Lov\'asz].  [See Pagano (1998a) for another use of cylindrical signed graphs.]  [\Problem.  Find the forbidden topological subgraphs, link minors, and $Y\Delta$ graphs for cylindrical signed graphs.]  [\Question.  Embed a signed graph in the plane with $k$ distinguished faces so that a circle's sign is the parity of the number of distinguished faces it surrounds.  Cylindrical embedding is $k = 1$.  For each $k$, which signed graphs are so embeddable?]

\annotctd{} Thm.\ 6.7, pp.\ 546--547, generalizes to signed graphs, interpreting $G$ as a signed graph and an ``odd cycle'' as a negative circle.  Take a signed simple, 3-connected, internally 4-connected graph.  It has no two vertex-disjoint negative circles iff it is one of four types: (i) deleting some vertex makes it balanced; (ii) deleting the edges of an unbalanced triangle makes it balanced; (iii) it has order $\leq 5$; (iv) it can be orientation-embedded in the projective plane.  This is due to Lov\'asz; see, if you can, Gerards \etal\ (1990a).  [A 2-connected $\Sigma$ has no vertex-disjoint negative circles iff $G(\Sigma)$ is binary iff $G(\Sigma)$ is regular iff the lift matroid $L(\Sigma)$ is regular.  See Pagano (1998a) for classification of $\Sigma$ with vertex-disjoint negative circles according to representability of the bias matroid.]

\annot{} A signed hypergraph $H=(V,E,\psi)$ is a hypergraph $(V,E)$ with an incidence signature $\psi: V\times E \to \{-1,0,1\}$.  
``Underlying graph'' = bipartite incidence graph with edge signs $\psi$.  Sign of a path [or walk] = product of incidence signs.
Motivation: via minimization, i.e., minimize the number of connections between different planar layers of a two-layer circuit.
[See Rusnak (2009a) for a different development of the same definitions.  Path signs are different; the normal sign for signed graphs has an extra factor $-1$ for each edge.]
$e$ is ``balanced'' by a bipartition $V = V_1 \cupdot V_2$ when incidences of $e$ are in the same $V_i$ iff they have the same sign.  $H$ is ``balanced'' if some bipartition balances every edge.  Thm.\ 3.1:  $H$ is balanced iff every circle is positive.  [I.e., antibalance, since walk signs are different from the norm.]  Proof:  Constructive [similar to but less exact than algorithms for signed graphs as in Harary and Kabell (1980a)], yielding Cor.\ 3.1:  Testing balance takes linear time.  Thm.\ 3.2:  $H$ is balanced iff its incidence dual is balanced.  ``Maximum balance problem'':  Minimize the number of unbalanced edges.  Thm.\ 4.1:  This is NP-complete, even for cubic graphs.  [Known, as it contains the max-cut problem.]  Thm.\ 4.2:  NP-complete for planar signed hypergraphs with maximum degree $>3$.  (For max degree $\leq 3$, polynomial-time algorithms are given in Shi 1993b.)
\Problem: Minimum Covering:  Find the minimum number of bipartitions of $V$ such that every edge is balanced by one of the bipartitions.  Equivalently, decompose $H$ into the smallest number of balanced subhypergraphs.  [See Zaslavsky (1987b) for signed graphs.]  Thm.\ 5.1:  NP-complete.  Proof:  Reduction to graph colorability via decomposability of a graph into bipartite subgraphs [special case of signed-graph decomposition as in Zaslavsky (1987b)].

\annotctd{} [All problems and methods are equivalent to the similar problems for the signed graph derived by replacing each hyperedge by a balanced complete graph with Harary bipartition given by the sign bipartition of the hyperedge's incidences.]

Proposed: tendency toward  balance is high when plausibility and differentiability are high.  A specific $f$, based on triangles and quite complicated, is studied for $n = 4$, with experiments.

\annot{} [\Cf\ Acharya and Singh (2004a, 2003b).  Generalizing the definition:  Given: a graph with $r$-colored edges, $m_i$ of color $i$; a list $L$ of $n$ integers.  Required:  A bijection $\lambda: V \to  L$ such that, if $f(vw) := |\lambda(v)-\lambda(w)|$, then $f$ restricted to color class $i$ is a bijection to $[m_i]$.]  Signed graphs are the case $r=2$.  Skolem gracefulness is the case where $\lambda$ exists for $L = [n]$.  Hooked Skolem gracefulness is the case where $\lambda$ exists for $L = [n+1] \setminus \{n\}$.  Results from Acharya and Singh (2010a) and Singh (20xxa), examples, some proofs.

The main examples with gaps are vertex amalgamations of balanced and uniquely embeddable unbalanced signed graphs, but a 3-connected example is $+W_6$ together with the negative diameters of the rim.  \Question\ 1 (\v{S}ir\'a\v{n}).  Do all gaps occur at the bottom of the demigenus range?  [\Question\ 2.  Can one in some way derive almost all signed graphs with gaps from balanced ones?]

MR 2701091 (no rev).
\annot{} Introducing orientation of biased graphs and biased signed graphs by means of proper circle orientations and their generalization, ``graphical orientation schemes''.  The definition is chosen so as to produce orientations of the bias and complete lift matroids and (though not in the thesis) to model the orientation of the bias or complete lift matroid of, respectively, an $\bbR^\times$\!- or $\bbR^+$\!-gain graph induced by its canonical bias or lift representation (Zaslavsky 2003b).  Characterizations of equivalence of different orientation schemes.  The completeness question: when do graphical orientation schemes yield all orientations of the bias matroid?  Always, for additively biased (i.e., signed) graphs and for some other kinds of biased graphs.

\annot{} Among other things, improves some results in Akiyama, Avis, Chv\'atal, and Era (1981a).  Thm.\ 1: For a loopless graph with $c$ components, $D(\Gamma) \geq \frac 12 m - \sqrt{\frac 12 \ln 2}\sqrt{m(n-c)}$.  Thm.\ 2:  For a simple, bipartite graph, $D(\Gamma) \leq \frac 12 (m - \sqrt m)$.  
\Conjecture.  The best general asymptotic lower bound is $D(\Gamma) \geq \frac 12 m - c_1 \sqrt{mn} + o(\sqrt{mn})$ where $c_1$ is some constant between $\sqrt{\frac 12 \ln 2}$ and $\frac 12\pi$.  \Question.  What is $c_1$ for, e.g., $k$-connected graphs?  
Thm.\ 4 gives girth-based upper bounds on $D(\Gamma)$.  
\S5, ``Embedded graphs'', has bounds for several examples obtained by surface duality.  
All proofs are via covering radius of the cutset code of $\Gamma$.

The same for $i$-vertex switchings, provided that the Krawtchouk polynomial $K_i^n(x)$ has no even zeros from $0$ to $n$.  When $i = 1$, the negative-subgraph degree sequence is always reconstructible.  All done in terms of Seidel (graph) switching of unsigned simple graphs.

\bsgitem{2008a}  On balance and clusters in graph structures.  \emph{Int.\ J.\ Phys.\ Sci.}\ 20(1) (2008), 159-162.
\annot{} A ``graph structure'' (due to E.\ Sampathkumar in 2005) is $G := (V,\cR)$ where $\cR = \{R_1,\ldots,R_k)$, $k\geq2$, $R_i \subseteq \cP^{(2)}(V)$, and the $R_i$ are disjoint.  Let $\cS \subseteq \cR$ and $\|\cS\| := \bigcup \{R : R \in \cS\}$.  Define $\|G\| := (V,\|\cS\|)$ and let $\Sigma(\cS)$ be the signed $\|G\|$ with negative edge set $\|\cS\|$.  [$\Sigma(\cS)$ is not defined but is implicit.]  
$G$ is ``$\cS$-balanced'' if $\Sigma(\cS)$ is balanced, and ``$\cS$-clusterable'' if $\Sigma(\cS)$ is clusterable.  
Prop.\ 3 [hard to interpret] seems to be Harary's (1953a) theorem for $\Sigma(\cS)$.  Thm.\ 4: $G$ is $\cS$-balanced for all $\cS$ iff it is $\{R_i\}$-balanced for all $i$.  
Thm.\ 7 is Davis's (1967a) characterization of clusterability applied to $\cS$-clusterability.  Thm.\ 8 has three conditions equivalent to $\cS$-clusterability, assuming $\bigcup_1^k R_i = \cP^{(2)}(V)$ and no $R_i=\eset$.  [$k=2, |\cS|=1$ is signed $K_n$.]  
Thm.\ 9: $G$ is $\cS$-clusterable for all $\cS$ iff it is $\{R_i\}$-clusterable [the paper says ``balanced''] for all $i$.

Two-graphs and switching classes of signed complete graphs are equivalent concepts.  (Stated in terms of Seidel switching in \S2, p.\ 260.)
A two-graph is ``regular'' if every edge lies in the same number of negative triangles.  Thm.:  $\cC_{3-}$ is regular iff $A(K_n,\sigma)$ has at most two eigenvalues.  Various parameters of regular two-graphs are calculated.

\annot{} A thorough and pleasantly written survey of psychological theories of balance, including formalizations by signed graphs (Chs.\ 3 and 6), experimental tests and critical evaluation of the formalisms, and so forth.  Ch.\ 2: ``Substantive models of balance'', takes the perspective of social psychology. \S2.2: ``Varieties of balance theory'', reviews the theories of Heider (1946a) (the source of Harary's (1953a) invention of signed graphs), Osgood and Tannenbaum (1955a), and others.  \S2.2e: ``The Rosenberg-Abelson modifications'', discusses their introduction of the ``cost'' of change of relations, which led them (Abelson and Rosenberg 1958a) to propose the frustration index as a measure of imbalance.

\annotctd{} Ch.\ 3: ``Formal models of balance'', reviews various graph-theoretic models: signed and weighted signed, different ways to weigh imbalance, etc., the relationship to theories in social psychology being constantly kept in mind.  \S3.1: ``Graph theory and balance theory'', presents the basics of balance, measures of degree of balance by circles (Cartwright and Harary (1956a)), circles with strengths of edges (Morrissette (1958a)), local balance and $N$-balance (Harary (1955a)), edge deletion and negation (Abelson and Rosenberg (1958a), Harary (1959b)), vertex frustration number (Harary (1959b)).  \S3.2:  ``Evaluation of formalizations: strong points'', and \S3.3:  ``Evaluation of formalizations: weak points'', judged from the applied standpoint.  \S3.3a: ``Discrepancies between cycles or subsets of cycles'', suggests that differing degrees of imbalance among certain different subsets of the vertices may be significant [Is this reasonable?] and proposes measures, e.g., a variance measure (p.\ 71), of this ``discrepancy''.

Are long circles less important?  Do circles at a distance from an actor (that is, a vertex) have less effect on the actor in balancing processes?

\annot{} A $1$-variable Tutte-style polynomial $\Gamma_\Sigma$ of a sign-colored graph.  Fix an edge ordering.  For each spanning tree $T$ and edge $e$, let $\mu_T(e) = -A^{3\tau_T(e)\sigma(e)}$ if $e$ is active with respect to $T$, $A^{\tau_T(e)\sigma(e)}$ if it is inactive, where $\tau_T(e) = +1$ if $e \in T$, $-1$ if $e \notin T$.  Then $\Gamma_\Sigma(A) = \sum_T \prod_{e \in T} \mu_T(e)$.  
[In the notation of Zaslavsky (1992a), $\Gamma_\Sigma(A) = Q_\Sigma$ with $a_\epsilon = A^{-\epsilon}, b_\epsilon = A^\epsilon$ for $\epsilon = \pm1$ and $u = v = -(A^2 + A^{-2})$.]  
\S\S3 and 4 show $\Gamma_\Sigma$ is independent of the ordering.  Other sections derive consequences for knot theory.

MR 86i:05098.  Zbl 606.05039.
\annot{} It is an NP-complete problem to decide whether a given signed digraph has a positive but not all-positive cycle, even if there are only $2$ negative arcs.  This follows from Lemma 3 of Steven Fortune, John Hopcroft, and James Wyllie, The directed subgraph homeomorphism problem (\emph{Theor.\ Computer Sci.}\ 10 (1980), 111--121.  MR 81e:68079.  Zbl 419.05028.) by the simple argument in the proof of Prop.\ 2.1 here.  
\annotctd{} To decide whether a specified arc of a digraph lies in an even cycle, or in an odd cycle, are NP-complete problems (Prop.\ 2.1).  To decide existence of an even cycle [hence, by the negative subdivision trick, of a positive cycle in a signed digraph] is difficult [but is solvable in polynomial time; see Robertson, Seymour, and Thomas (1999a)], although existence of an odd cycle [resp., of a negative cycle] is easy, by a trick here attributed to Edmonds (unpublished).  Prop.\ 2.2: Deciding existence of a positive cycle in a signed digraph is polynomial-time solvable if $|E^-|$ is bounded.  Thm.\ 3.2: If the outdegrees of a digraph are all $> \log_2 n$, then \emph{every signing} has a positive cycle, and this bound is best possible; restricting to the all-negative signature, the lower bound might (it's not known) go down by a factor of up to $2$, but certainly (Thm.\ 3.1) a constant minimum on outdegree does not imply existence of an even cycle.

\annot{} Introduces the notion of imbalance (``frustration'') of a signed graph to account for inherent disorder in an Ising model (here synonymous with a signed graph, usually a lattice graph).  (Positive and negative edges are called   ``ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic bonds''.)  Observes that switching the edge signs from all positive (the model of D.D.\ Mattis, \emph{Phys.\ Letters} 56A (1976), 421--?) makes no essential difference.  In a planar lattice [or any plane graph] frustration of face boundaries (``plaquettes'') can be thought of as curvature, i.e., failure of flatness.  Proposes two kinds of asymptotic behavior of frustration as a circle encloses more plaquettes. The planar-duality approach for finding the states with minimum frustration (i.e., switchings with fewest negative edges); the number of such states is the ``ground-state degeneracy'' and is important.  Ideas are sketched; no proofs.

Two symmetry groups:  $\bbZ_2^{|V|}$ acts on $\Sigma$ (the ``microscopic level''); $\SO(n)$ or $\O(n)$ acts on states $s$ (the ``macroscopic level'').  
[An edge is satisfied if $s(w) = \sigma(vw)s(v)$, otherwise frustrated.]  A ``ground state'' (where the most edges are satisfied) has a topology of frustrated plaquettes [negative girth circles], whose nature, depending on the lattice dimension, is described intuitively.  Regions (``packets'') of relatively fixed spins can be identified.  Topology of frustrated plaquettes leads to the homotopy groups of $\O(n)$.  The effect on thermodynamic phases is discussed.

\annot{} Annealed and quenched models on a square lattice are compared.  Annealed:  edge weights $J_{ij}$ (``bond strengths'') are random variables; this is randomly weighted, randomly signed graphs.  Quenched, edge weights $=\pm J$; this is signed graphs.  The annealed model ``grossly underestimates frustration effects.''  Proposed corrective:  introduce Lagrange multipliers for the plaquettes.  This leads to unexplored theory.  App.\ (c), ``The frustration model'':  randomly signed graphs, especially regular graphs; compared to models with Gaussian random edge weights and signs.

MR 90a:57013.  Zbl 713.57003.
\annot{} Generalizing Kauffman's (1989a) Tutte polynomial of a sign-colored graph, Traldi's ``weighted dichromatic polynomial'' $Q(\Gamma; t,z)$ is Zaslav\-sky's (1992b) $Q_\Gamma(1,w; t,z)$, in which the deletion-contraction parameters $a_e = 1$ and $b_e = w(e)$, the weight of $e$.  Thm.\ 2 gives the Tutte-style spanning-tree expansion.  
Thm.\ 4: Kauffman's Tutte polynomial $Q[\Sigma](A,B,d) = d\inv A^{|E^+|} B^{|E^-|} Q_{|\Sigma|}(1,w; d,d)$ for connected $\Sigma$, with $w(e)$ $= (AB\inv)^{\sigma(e)}$.  
[See Kauffman (1989a) for other generalizations.  Traldi gives perhaps too much credit to Fortuin and Kasteleyn (1972a).]  
\annotctd{} P.\ 284: Invariance under Reidemeister moves of type II constrains the weight\-ed dichromatic polynomial to, in essence, equal Kauffman's.  Thus no generalization is evident in connection with general link diagrams.  There is an interesting application to special link diagrams.

\annot{} A $0,\pm1$-matrix is called ``balanced'' if it contains no submatrix that is the incidence matrix of a negative circle.  More generally, $\alpha$-balance of a $0,\pm1$-matrix corresponds to prescribing the signs of holes in a signed graph.  Main theorem characterizes the sets of holes (chordless circles) in a graph that can be the balanced holes in some signing.  [A major result.

\annot{} According to Cornu\'ejols (2001a), this paper contains the following theorem: A bipartite graph is ``balanceable'' (has a $\pm1$-weighting $\pmod{4}$ in which all polygons have sum $0 \pmod{4}$) iff it does not contain an induced subgraph that is a subdivided odd wheel or a theta graph with nodes in opposite color classes.  
[The weights are not gains because they are not oriented.  However, this has major applications to signed hypergraphs; \cf\ Rusnak (2009a).]
[\Problem.  Generalize to arbitrary graphs.]  
[Note that in a bipartite graph the sum around a polygon has to be $0$ or $2 \pmod{4}$ and therefore belongs to a group $\cong \Bbb Z_2$ so can be considered a sign.  However, it may not be possible to relabel the edges from $\Bbb Z_2$ so as to get the same polygon sums.  I.e., the polygon signing may not be derivable from a signed graph.]

MR 93i:05004 (book).  Zbl 776.05077.
\annot{} A two-graph whose points are the edges of a tree $T$ and whose triples are the nonseparating triples of edges of $T$ (from Seidel and Tsaranov (1990a) via Cameron (1994a)).  An associated signed complete graph $\Sigma_T$ on vertex set $E(T)$ is obtained by orienting $T$ arbitrarily, then taking $\sigma_T(ef) = +$ or $-$ depending on whether $e$ and $f$ are similarly or oppositely oriented in the path of $T$ that contains both.  Reorienting edges corresponds to switching $\Sigma_T$.  Thm.: Letting $n = |V(T)|$, the matrices $3I_n + A(\Sigma_T)$ and $2I_{n+1} - A(T)$ have the same numbers of zero and negative eigenvalues.

MR 83b:05104.  Zbl 473.05023.
\annot{} The chain-group approach to the dual even-cycle matroid, $G(-\Gamma)^*$.  Developed entirely in terms of the group $\Delta(\Gamma)$ [topologically, $B^1(\Gamma,\bbZ)$] of integral $1$-coboundaries.  
Assuming $\Gamma$ connected:  ``Dendroids of $\Delta(\Gamma)$'' = bases of $G(-\Gamma)$;  Thms.\ 8.6--7 give their structure in the bipartite and nonbipartite cases.  
Support of an elementary coboundary = circuit of $G(-\Gamma)^*$; this is a bond of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma$ is bipartite (Thm.\ 7.5) and a minimal balancing set otherwise (Thm.\ 7.6).  
Thm.\ 7.8: Any coboundary times some power of 2 is a sum of primitive coboundaries.  [\Problem.  Explain how this is related to total dyadicity of the incidence matrix.]  
``Rank of $\Delta(\Gamma)$'' = $\rk G(-\Gamma)$; its value is given at the end of \S8.  
\S9 develops a relationship between ``homomorphisms'' of $\Delta(\Gamma)$ (linear functionals) and graph factors.  
\S10:  The dual chain group; characterization of circuits of $\rk G(-\Gamma)$.  
[It is amazing what can be done with nothing but integral 1-coboundaries.  \Problem\ 1.  Extend Tutte's theory of integral chain groups to all signed graphs.  Grossman, Kulkarni, and Schochetman (1994a) have a development over a field but this is very different, even aside from their opposite viewpoint that goes from matroids to vector spaces.  \Problem\ 2.  Extend to signed hypergraphs, where each hyperedge has a function $\tau_e : V(e) \to \{+,-\}$, not distinguished from $-\tau_e$---as with bidirected graphs, choosing one of them corresponds to orienting $e$.]

\bsgitem{1993a}  Algebraic equivalence of signed graphs with all eigenvalues $\geq -2$.  \emph{Ars Combin.}\ 35 (1993), 173--191.
MR 93m:05134.  Zbl 786.05059.
\annot{} Finite signed simple graphs only.  $\lambda_1(\Sigma) :=$ least eigenvalue of $A(\Sigma)$.  $\Sigma$ is ``represented'' by $W \subseteq \bbR^\infty$ if the vertices can be mapped into $W$ so that inner products equal signs of edges, where we interpret $\sigma(u,v) \in \{+1, -1, 0\}$.
Thm.\ 1: $\lambda_1(\Sigma) \geq -2 \iff$ $\Sigma$ is represented by $\bbR^\infty$ $\iff$ $\Sigma$ is represented by $D_\infty$ or $E_8$ (the root systems).  
\annotctd{} $\Sigma'$ is ``algebraically equivalent'' to $\Sigma$ if it is obtained from $\Sigma$ by a sequence of switchings and algebraic transforms.  The latter means taking two positively adjacent vertices $a, b$ contained in no negative triangle, switching $b$, removing edges from $b$ to all common neighbors of $a$ and $b$, and adding an edge $xb$, for each $x \in N(a) \setminus N(b)$, with the same sign as $xa$.
Thm.\ 5: If $\Sigma$ is connected and $\lambda_1(\Sigma) > -2$, then $\Sigma$ is algebraically equivalent to the Dynkin diagram of $A_n$, $D_n$, or $E_k$ ($k = 6,7,8$).
\annotctd{} There are other, similar results.

\annot{} A connected, contrabalanced biased graph $(\Gamma,\eset)$ has a covering by $\xi+1$ internally disjoint paths, where $\xi =$ cyclomatic number, iff every $(\Gamma\setminus v, \eset)$ has no balanced components.  
[\Question\ 1.  Can this generalize to all connected biased graphs?  Paths should become balanced subgraphs that are ``path-like'' (have at most two vertices of attachment).  $\xi$ should become a measure of the number of independent unbalanced circles.  \Question\ 2.  Is there a recursive decomposition of a 2-connected biased graph into $\xi$ path-like balanced subgraphs, generalizing the standard ear decomposition of a 2-connected, (contrabalanced biased) graph?]

MR 98b:57026.  Zbl 883.52010.
\annot{} The arrangement is the affine part (that is, where $x_0 = 1$) of the projective representation of $G(\Phi)$, where $\Phi$ is the complex multiplicative gain graph $\Phi = \{1\}K_{n+1} \cup \{re_{0i} : 1 \leq i \leq n \text{ \rm and } 2 \leq r \leq s \}$.  Here the vertex set is $\{0, 1, \ldots, n\}$, $s$ is any positive integer, and $re_{0i}$ (in the paper, $e_{0i}(r)$) denotes an edge $v_0v_i$ with gain $r$.  The topics of interest are those related to the complex complement.  The study is based on the combinatorics of the intersection semilattice [that is, the geometric semilattice $\Latb \Phi$ of balanced flats], including the Poincar\'e polynomial of the arrangement [equivalent to the balanced chromatic polynomial of $\Phi$].

This is described as the min-weight cut problem with weights the negatives [this is an error] of the Ising bond interaction values: that is, the weighted frustration index problem in the negative [erroneous] of the Ising graph.  It is the max-cut problem when the Ising graph is balanced (ferromagnetic) [should be antibalanced (antiferromagnetic)].  For external magnetic field, follows Barahona (1982a).

\annot{} Given a (positively weighted) signed (di)graph, the authors provide an algorithm for an approximate clustering.  Input: The graph and a length parameter $l$.  Step 1:  Construct transition probabilities $p{ij} := [\sigma{ij}w_{ij}]^+/d(v_i)$.  Step 2:  Apply the probabilities in a random walk of length $\leq l$ on positive edges; the matrix of $l$-step probabilities is $(p_{ij})^l$.  Combine in a cluster the vertices that have high probabilities from a given starting point.  ``High'' and $l$ are based on the network structure.
\annotctd{} Also, a cut algorithm for approximate clustering.  A cluster is $X \subset V$ such that the total net degree $d^\pm(\Sigma\ind X) \geq d^\pm(X,X^c)$ and $d^\pm(X^c,X) \leq d^\pm(\Sigma\ind X^c)$.

If a $k$-net in $\bbC\bbP^2$ represents $G(\fA K_3)$ for a finite abelian group $\fA$, then $\fA$ is a subgroup of a 2-torus (Thm.\ 4.4) or has small invariant factors (Thm.\ 5.4); in particular it cannot be $\bbZ_2^3$ (Thm.\ 4.2).

\annot{} Signed graphs correspond to arrangements of hyperplanes in $\bbR^n$ of the forms $x_i = x_j$, $x_i = -x_j$, and $x_i = 0$.

\annot{$\Lambda(\Sigma)$} The line graph of a switching class $[\Sigma]$ of signed graphs is a switching class of signed graphs; call it $[\Lambda'(\Sigma)]$.  The reduced line graph $\Lambda$ is formed from $\Lambda'$ by deleting parallel pairs of oppositely signed edges.  Then $A(\Lambda) = A(\Lambda') = 2I - \incid\trans\, \incid$, where $\incid$ is an incidence matrix of $\Sigma$.  Thm.\ 1:  $A(\Lambda)$ has all eigenvalues $\leq 2$.  Examples:  For an ordinary graph $\Gamma$, $\Lambda(-\Gamma) = - \Lambda(\Gamma)$.  Example: taking $-\Gamma$ and attaching any number of pendant negative digons to each vertex yields (the negative of) Hoffman's generalized line graph.  Additional results are claimed but there are no proofs.  [See also (20xxa).]  [This work is intimately related to that of Vijayakumar \etal, which was then unknown to the author, and to Cameron (1980a) and Cameron, Goethals, Seidel, and Shult (1976a).]

\annot{} Suppose that a function of matroids with labelled points is defined that is multiplicative on direct sums and satisfies a Tutte--Grothendieck recurrence with coefficients (the ``parameters'') that depend on the element being deleted and contracted, but not on the particular minor from which it is deleted and contracted: specifically, $F(M) = a_e F(M \setminus e) + b_e F(M/e)$ if $e$ is not a loop or coloop in $M$.  
Thm.\ 2.1 completely characterizes such ``strong Tutte functions'' for each possible choice of parameters: there is one general type, defined by a rank generating polynomial $R_M(a,b; u,v)$ (the ``parametrized rank generating polynomial'') involving the parameters $a = (a_e)$, $b = (b_e)$ and the variables $u,v$, and there are a few special types that exist only for degenerate parameters.  All have a Tutte-style basis expansion; indeed, a function has such an expansion iff it is a strong Tutte function (Thms.~7.1, 7.2).  The Tutte expansion is a polynomial within each type.
If the points are colored and the parameters of a point depend only on the color, one has a multicolored matroid generalization of Kauffman's (1989a) Tutte polynomial of a sign-colored graph.  Kauffman's particular choices of parameters are shown to be related to matroid and color duality.  
\annotctd{} For a graph, ``parametrized dichromatic polynomial'' $Q_\Gamma = u^{\beta_0(\Gamma)} R_{G(\Gamma)}$, where $G =$ graphic matroid and $\beta_0 =$ number of connected components.  A ``portable strong Tutte function'' of graphs is multiplicative on disjoint unions, satisfies the parametrized Tutte--Grothendieck recurrence, and has value independent of the vertex set.  Thm.\ 10.1: Such a function either equals $Q_\Gamma$ or is one of two degenerate exceptions.  Prop.\ 11.1:  Kauffman's (1989a) polynomial of a sign-colored graph equals $R_{G(|\Sigma|),\sigma}(a,b; d,d)$ for connected $\Sigma$, where $a_+ = b_- = B$ and $a_- = b_+ = A$.  [\Cf\ Traldi 1989a).]
\annotctd{} [This paper differs from other generalizations of Kauffman's polynomial, by Przytycka and Przytycki (1988a) and Traldi (1989a) (and partially anticipated by Fortuin and Kasteleyn (1972a)), who also develop the parametrized dichromatic polynomial of a graph, principally in that it characterizes \emph{all} strong Tutte functions; also in generalizing to matroids and in having little to say about knots.  Schw\"arzler and Welsh (1993a) generalize to signed matroids (and characterize their strong Tutte functions) but not to arbitrary colors.  Bollob\'as and Riordan (1999a) initiate the study of the underlying commutative algebra.]

\annot{} Polynomials of gain and biased graphs: the fundamental object is a four-variable polynomial, the ``polychromial'' (``polychromatic polynomial''), that specializes to the chromatic, dichromatic, and Whitney-number polynomials.  The polynomials come in two flavors: unrestricted and balanced, depending on the edge sets that appear in their defining sums.  (They can be defined in the even greater abstraction of ``two-ideal graphs'', which clarifies the most basic properties.)  
\annotctd{} \S4: ``Gain-graph coloring''.  In $\Phi = (\Gamma,\phi,\fG)$, a ``zero-free $k$-coloring'' is a mapping $f: V \to [k]\times\fG$; it is ``proper'' if, when $e\ind vw$ is a link or loop and $f(v) = (i,g), f(w) = (i, h)$, then $h \neq g\phi(e;v,w)$.  A ``$k$-coloring'' is similar but the color set is enlarged by inclusion of a color $0$; propriety requires the additional restriction that $f(v)$ and $f(w)$ are not both $0$ (and $f(v) \neq 0$ if $v$ supports a half edge).
In particular, a ``group-coloring'' of $\Phi$ is a zero-free $1$-coloring (ignoring the irrelevant numerical part of the color).  A ``partial group-coloring'' is a group-coloring of an induced subgraph [which can only be proper if the uncolored vertices form a stable set].
The unrestricted and balanced chromatic polynomials count, respectively, unrestricted and zero-free proper $k$-colorings; the two Whitney-number polynomials count all colorings, proper and improper, by their improper edge sets.

\bsgitem{20xxa}  Line graphs of signed graphs and digraphs.  In preparation.
\annot{$\Lambda(\Sigma)$} Line graphs of signed graphs are, fundamentally, (bidirected) line graphs of bidirected graphs.  Then the line graph of a signed graph is a polar graph, i.e., a switching class of bidirected graphs; the line graph of a polar graph is a signed graph; and the line graph of a sign-biased graph, i.e., of a switching class of signed graphs, is a sign-biased graph.  
In particular, the line graph of an antibalanced switching class is an antibalanced switching class.  (Partly for this reason, ordinary graphs should usually be regarded as antibalanced, i.e., all negative, in line graph theory.)  
Since a digraph is an oriented all-positive signed graph, its line graph is a bidirected graph whose positive part is the Harary--Norman line digraph.  
Among the line graphs of signed graphs, some reduce by cancellation of parallel but oppositely signed edges to all-negative graphs; these are precisely Hoffman's generalized line graphs of ordinary graphs, a fact which explains their line-graph-like behavior.  
[Attempts at a completely descriptive line graph of a digraph were Muracchini and Ghirlanda (1965a) and Hemminger and Klerlein (1979a).  The geometry of line graphs and signed graphs has been developed by Vijayakumar \etal\ (\qv).  See also Zaslavsky (1979a, 1984c), Zelinka (1976a) \etal]

\annotctd{} Thms.~1--6.  Elementary results about automorphisms, including finding the automorphism groups of the ``complete polarized'' and polar graphs.

\annotctd{} Thms.~8--10.  Analogs of Whitney's theorem that the line graph almost always determines the graph.  The ``pole graph'' $\Beta^*$ of $\Beta$ or $[\Beta]$:  Split each vertex into an ``in'' copy and an ``out'' copy and connect the edges appropriately.  [Generalizes splitting a digraph into a bipartite graph.  It appears to be a ``twisted'' signed double covering graph.]  Thm.\ 8.  The pole graph is determined, with two exceptions, by the edge relation $e \sim_1 f$ if both enter or both leave a common vertex.  (A trivial consequence of Whitney's theorem.)  Thm.\ 9.  A polar graph $[\Beta]$ with enough edges going in and out at each vertex is determined by the edge relation $e \sim_2 f$ if one enters and the other exits a common vertex.  (Examples show that too few edges going in and out leave $[\Beta]$ undetermined.)  Thm.\ 10.  Knowing $\sim_1$, $\sim_2$, and which edges are parallel with the same sign, and if no component of the simplified underlying graph of $\Beta$ is one of twelve forbidden graphs, then $[\Beta]$ is determined.  [\Problem\ 1.  Improve Thm.\ 10 to a complete characterization of the bidirected graphs that are reconstructible from their line graphs (which are to be taken as bidirected; see Zaslavsky (2010b, 20xxa)).  In connection with this, see results on characterizing line graphs of bidirected (or signed) graphs by Vijayakumar (1987a).  \Problem\ 2.  It would be interesting to improve Thm.\ 9.]

\bsgitem{1976b}  Analoga of Menger's theorem for polar and polarized graphs.  \emph{Czechoslovak Math.\ J.}\ 26(101) (1976), 352--360.  
MR 58 \#16430.  Zbl 341.05122.
\annot{} See (1976a) for basic definitions.  Here is the framework of the 8 theorems.  Given a bidirected or polar graph, $\Beta$ or $P$, vertices $a$ and $b$, and a type $X$ of walk, let $s_X$ [$s'_X$] = the fewest vertices [edges] whose deletion eliminates all $(a,b)$ walks of type $X$, and let $d_X$ [$d'_X$] = maximum number of suitably pairwise internally vertex-disjoint [or, suitably pairwise edge-disjoint] walks of type $X$ from $a$ to $b$.  [My notation.]  By ``suitably'' I mean that a common internal vertex or edge is allowed in $P$ (but not in $\Beta$) if it is used oppositely by the two walks using it.  (See the paper for details.)  Thms.~1--4$_1$ (there are two Theorems 4) concern all-positive and all-introverted walks in a bidirected (``polarized'') graph, and are simply the vertex and edge Menger theorems applied to the positive and introverted subgraphs.  Thms.~4$_2$--7 concern polar graphs and have the form $s_X \leq d_X \leq 2s_X$ [$s'_X \leq d'_X \leq 2s'_X$], which is best possible.  Thms.~4$_2$--5 concern type ``heteropolar'' (equivalently, directed walks in a bidirected graph).  The proofs depend on Menger's theorems in the double covering graph of the polar graph.  [Since this has 2 vertices for each 1 in the polar graph, the range of $d_X$ [$d'_X$] is explained.]  Thms.~6--7 concern type ``homopolar'' (i.e., antidirected walks).  The proofs employ the pole graph (see (1976a)).

It is shown that the Cayley digraph $PG(\fG, A)$, where $\fG$ is a group and $A$ is a set of generators, is homogeneous if $A$ is both arbitrarily permutable and invertible by $\Aut\fG$.  [Bidirection---i.e., the polarity---seems to play no part here.]

\annot{} Is a simple graph $\Gamma$ a double cover of some signing of a simple graph?  An elementary answer in terms of involutions of $\Gamma$.  Further: if there are two such involutions $\alpha_0, \alpha_1$ that commute, then $\Gamma/\alpha_i$ has involution induced by $\alpha_{1-i}$, so is a double cover of $\Gamma/\langle\alpha_0,\alpha_1\rangle$, which is not necessarily simple.

Zelinka gives a rather complicated answer for all-negative signed graphs, which has interesting corollaries.  For instance, Cor.~3:  If $S(P)$ is all negative, and $P$ has $\hat 0$ or $\hat 1$, then $S(P)$ is a tree.

\annot{} Uses signed-graph coloring (in geometrical guise) to evaluate the chromatic polynomials (in geometrical guise) of all signed graphs interpolating between (1) $+K_n$ and $+K_{n+1}$ [i.e., ordinary graphs extending a complete graph by one vertex]; (2) $\pm K_{n-1}^\circ$ and $\pm K_{n}^\circ$; (3) $\pm K_n$ and $\pm K_n^\circ$ [known already by several methods, including this one]; (4a) $\pm K_{n-1}$ and $\pm K_{n-1} \cup +K_n$; (4b) $\pm K_{n-1} \cup +K_n$ and $\pm K_n$; and certain signed graphs interpolating (by adding negative edges one vertex at a time, or working down and removing them one vertex at a time) between (5) $+K_n$ and $\pm K_n^\circ$; (6) $+K_n$ and $\pm K_n$.  In cases (1)--(3) the chromatic polynomial depends only on how many edges are added [which is obvious from the coloring procedure, if it were not disguised by geometry].
