Abstract

The concept of energy of graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of a graph. Let λ1, λ2, . . . , λbe eigenvalues of graph G, then the energy of G is defined as E (G) =∑nn=1ه|. The aim of this paper is to compute the eigenvalues of two fullerene graphs C60 and C80.
