摘要

The path decomposition of a graph G is the process of decomposing it into edge-disjoint paths. An induced signed graph is a signed graph formed from an ordinary unsigned graph by assigning signs to its edges according to some protocol. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a path-induced signed graph as an induced signed graph whose edges receive a sign according to whether its end vertices are the end vertices of a path in a path decomposition of G. We also discuss some characteristics of this type of signed graph.
