Abstract

Let Gn be a simple graph on Vn=\v1,…, vn\. The Seidel matrix S(Gn) of Gn is the n× n matrix whose (ij)'th entry, for i≠ j is -1 if vi∼ vj and 1 otherwise, and whose diagonal entries are 0. We show that the proportion of simple graphs Gn such that det(S(Gn))≥ n-1 tends to one as n tends to infinity.
