Abstract

A graph is called unimodular if its adjacency matrix has determinant ±1. This article provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a simple connected graph with a unique perfect matching to be unimodular. In particular, we give a complete characterization of bicyclic unimodular graphs with a unique perfect matching. Moreover, the possible values of the determinant of the adjacency matrix of unicyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic graphs with a unique perfect matching are also provided in this article. For non-bipartite unicyclic graphs with a unique perfect matching, we address the problem of when the inverse of the corresponding adjacency matrix is diagonally similar to a non-negative matrix. A pseudo-unimodular graph is a singular graph whose product of non-zero eigenvalues of the corresponding adjacency matrix is ±1. We supply a necessary and sufficient condition for a singular graph to be pseudo-unimodular.
