文摘Let G be a connected graph. We denote by σ(G,x) and δ(G) respectively the σ-polynomial and the edge-density of G,where δ(G)=|E(G)||V(G)|2. If σ(G,x) has at least an unreal root,then G is said to be a σ-unreal graph.Let δ(n) be the minimum edge-density over all n vertices graphs with σ-unreal roots. In this paper,by using the theory of adjoint polynomials, a negative answer to a problem posed by Brenti et al. is given and the following results are obtained:For any positive integer a and rational number 0≤c≤1,there exists at least a graph sequence {G i} 1≤i≤a such that G i is σ-unreal and δ(G i)→c as n→∞ for all 1≤i≤a,and moreover, δ(n)→0 as n→∞.
