Abstract: For a graph G, let S(G) be the Seidel matrix of G and e1(G),...,en(G) be the eigenvalues of S(G). The Seidel energy of G is defined as |e1(G)|+...+|en(G)|. Willem Haemers conjectured that the Seidel energy of any graph with n vertices is at least 2n−2, the Seidel energy of the complete graph with n vertices. Motivated by this conjecture, we prove that for any al with 0<al<2, |e1(G)|al+...+|en(G)|alg(n−1)al+n−1 if and only if |mdetS(G)|gn−1. This, in particular, implies the Haemers' conjecture for all graphs G with |mdetS(G)|gn−1.
