Abstract

The minimum rank of a simple graph G is defined to be the smallest possible rank over all symmetric real matrices whose ijth entry (for i≠j) is nonzero whenever {i,j} is an edge in G and is zero otherwise. This paper surveys the current state of knowledge on the problem of determining the minimum rank of a graph and related issues.
