The $M$-matrix group inverse problem for distance-biregular graphs

Abstract

In this paper we provide the group inverse of the combinatorial Laplacian matrix of distance-biregular graphs using the so-called equilibrium measures for sets obtained by deleting a vertex. We also show that the two equilibrium arrays characterizing a distance-biregular graph can be expressed in terms of the mentioned equilibrium measures. As a consequence of the minimum principle, we show a characterization of when the group inverse of the combinatorial Laplacian matrix of a distance-biregular graph is an $M$-matrix.
