| dc.description.abstract | A vertex v of the underlying graph of a symmetric matrix A is called ‘Parter’ if the nullity of the matrix obtained from A by removing the row and column indexed by v is more than the nullity of A. Let A be a singular symmetric matrix with rank r whose underlying graph is a tree. It is known that the number of Parter vertices of A is at most r−1. We prove that when r is odd this number is at most r−2. We characterize the trees where these bounds are achieved. | en |
