An oriented graph G σ is a digraph without loops and multiple arcs, where G is called the underlying graph of G σ . Let S( G σ ) denote the skew-adjacency matrix of G σ . The rank of the skew-adjacency matrix of G σ is called the skew-rank of G σ , denoted by sr( G σ ). The skew-adjacency matrix of an oriented graph is skew symmetric and the skew-rank is even. We consider the skew-rank of simple oriented graphs. Firstly, we give some preliminary results about the skew-rank. Secondly, we…
