An oriented graph $G^sigma$ is a digraph without loops or multiple arcs whose underlying graph is $G$. Let $Sleft(G^sigmaright)$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of $G^sigma$ and $alpha(G)$ be the independence number of $G$. The rank of $S(G^sigma)$ is called the skew-rank of $G^sigma$, denoted by $sr(G^sigma)$. Wong et al. [European J. Combin. 54 (2016) 76-86] studied the relationship between the skew-rank of an oriented graph and the rank of its underlying graph. In this paper, the correlation involving the skew-rank, the independence number, and some other parameters are considered. First we show that $sr(G^sigma)+2alpha(G)geqslant 2|V_G|-2d(G)$, where $|V_G|$ is the order of $G$ and $d(G)$ is the dimension of cycle space of $G$. We also obtain sharp lower bounds for $sr(G^sigma)+alpha(G),, sr(G^sigma)-alpha(G)$, $sr(G^sigma)/alpha(G)$ and characterize all corresponding extremal graphs.

Given a simple graph $G=(V_G, E_G)$ with vertex set $V_G$ and edge set $E_G$, the mixed graph $widetilde{G}$ is obtained from $G$ by orienting some of its edges. Let $H(widetilde{G})$ denote the Hermitian adjacency matrix of $widetilde{G}$ and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The $H$-rank (resp. rank) of $widetilde{G}$ (resp. $G$), written as $rk(widetilde{G})$ (resp. $r(G)$), is the rank of $H(widetilde{G})$ (resp. $A(G)$). Denote by $d(G)$ the dimension of cycle spaces of $G$, that is $d(G) = |E_G|-|V_G|+omega(G)$, where $omega(G),$ denotes the number of connected components of $G$. In this paper, we concentrate on the relation between the $H$-rank of $widetilde{G}$ and the rank of $G$. We first show that $-2d(G)leqslant rk(widetilde{G})-r(G)leqslant 2d(G)$ for every mixed graph $widetilde{G}$. Then we characterize all the mixed graphs that attain the above lower (resp. upper) bound. By these obtained results in the current paper, all the main results obtained in cite{004,1} may be deduced consequently.
A signed graph $(G, sigma)$ is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $(G, sigma)$. Let $c(G)$, $alpha(G)$ and $r(G, sigma)$ be the cyclomatic number, the independence number and the rank of the adjacency matrix of $(G, sigma)$, respectively. In this paper, we study the relation among the independence number, the rank and the cyclomatic number of a signed graph $(G, sigma)$ with order $n$, and prove that $2n-2c(G) leq r(G, sigma)+2alpha(G) leq 2n$. Furthermore, the signed graphs that reaching the lower bound are investigated.
Let $Phi=(G, varphi)$ be a complex unit gain graph (or $mathbb{T}$-gain graph) and $A(Phi)$ be its adjacency matrix, where $G$ is called the underlying graph of $Phi$. The rank of $Phi$, denoted by $r(Phi)$, is the rank of $A(Phi)$. Denote by $theta(G)=|E(G)|-|V(G)|+omega(G)$ the dimension of cycle spaces of $G$, where $|E(G)|$, $|V(G)|$ and $omega(G)$ are the number of edges, the number of vertices and the number of connected components of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we investigate bounds for $r(Phi)$ in terms of $r(G)$, that is, $r(G)-2theta(G)leq r(Phi)leq r(G)+2theta(G)$, where $r(G)$ is the rank of $G$. As an application, we also prove that $1-theta(G)leqfrac{r(Phi)}{r(G)}leq1+theta(G)$. All corresponding extremal graphs are characterized.
A complex unit gain graph (or $mathbb{T}$-gain graph) is a triple $Phi=(G, mathbb{T}, varphi)$ ($(G, varphi)$ for short) consisting of a graph $G$ as the underlying graph of $(G, varphi)$, $mathbb{T}= { z in C:|z|=1 } $ is a subgroup of the multiplicative group of all nonzero complex numbers $mathbb{C}^{times}$ and a gain function $varphi: overrightarrow{E} rightarrow mathbb{T}$ such that $varphi(e_{ij})=varphi(e_{ji})^{-1}=overline{varphi(e_{ji})}$. In this paper, we investigate the relation among the rank, the independence number and the cyclomatic number of a complex unit gain graph $(G, varphi)$ with order $n$, and prove that $2n-2c(G) leq r(G, varphi)+2alpha(G) leq 2n$. Where $r(G, varphi)$, $alpha(G)$ and $c(G)$ are the rank of the Hermitian adjacency matrix $A(G, varphi)$, the independence number and the cyclomatic number of $G$, respectively. Furthermore, the properties of the complex unit gain graph that reaching the lower bound are characterized.
We establish a lower bound for the energy of a complex unit gain graph in terms of the matching number of its underlying graph, and characterize all the complex unit gain graphs whose energy reaches this bound.
