Abstract

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V={v1,v2,…,vn} and λ12,…,λn the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A of G. The Estrada index of G is defined as ∑k=1neλk. The subgraph centrality of the vertex vi with respect to G is defined as the ith diagonal entry of the matrix eβA, where β>0. Let Gσ be the oriented graph of G with an orientation σ and ζ12,…,ζn the eigenvalues of the skew-adjacency matrix of Gσ. The skew Estrada index of Gσ is defined as ∑k=1nek. Gao et al. obtained some Coulson-type integral formulas for the Estrada index of G and for the skew Estrada index of Gσ. In this paper, we will introduce the concept of the general Estrada index of vi with respect to G as a generalization of subgraph centrality and the concept of the general skew Estrada index of vi with respect to Gσ, and give some Coulson-type integral formulas for the general vertex Estrada index with respect to G and for the general vertex skew Estrada index with respect to Gσ.
