TLDR
The graphs in U"n^1 with minimal and second-minimal energies are uniquely determined, respectively.
Abstract
Let G be a graph on n vertices, and let CHP(G;@l) be the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix A(G). All n roots of CHP(G;@l), denoted by @l"i(i=1,2,...n), are called to be its eigenvalues. The energy E(G) of a graph G, is the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues, namely, E(G)=@?"i"="1^n|@l"i|. Let U"n be the set of n-vertex unicyclic graphs, the graphs with n vertices and n edges. A fully loaded unicyclic graph is a unicyclic graph taken from U"n with the property that there exists no vertex with degree less than 3 in its unique cycle. Let U"n^1 be the set of fully loaded unicyclic graphs. In this article, the graphs in U"n^1 with minimal and second-minimal energies are uniquely determined, respectively.
