On the maximal energy among orientations of a tree

The trace norm of a digraph is the trace norm of its adjacency matrix, i.e. the sum of its singular values. Given a bipartite graph G, it is well known that the sink-source orientations have minimal trace norm among all orientations of G. In this paper, we show that the balanced orientations of G at...

Description
Summary:The trace norm of a digraph is the trace norm of its adjacency matrix, i.e. the sum of its singular values. Given a bipartite graph G, it is well known that the sink-source orientations have minimal trace norm among all orientations of G. In this paper, we show that the balanced orientations of G attain the maximal trace norm when G is a tree with separated branching vertices, or when G is a double-star tree. We give examples of trees (with adjacent branching vertices) where non-balanced orientations have maximal trace norm. This raises the question in general: Which orientations of a tree have maximal trace norm?
