Zero forcing is a combinatorial game played on a graph with a goal of turning all of the vertices of the graph black while having to use as few unforced moves as possible. This leads to a parameter known as the zero forcing number which can be used to give an upper bound for the maximum nullity of a matrix associated with the graph. We introduce a new variation on the zero forcing game which can be used to give an upper bound for the maximum nullity of a matrix associated with a graph that has $q$ negative eigenvalues. This gives some limits to the number of positive eigenvalues that such a graph can have and so can be used to form lower bounds for the inertia set of a graph.

Connections between vital linkages and zero forcing are established. Specifically, the notion of a rigid linkage is introduced as a special kind of unique linkage and it is shown that spanning forcing paths of a zero forcing process form a spanning r
igid linkage and thus a vital linkage. A related generalization of zero forcing that produces a rigid linkage via a coloring process is developed. One of the motivations for introducing zero forcing is to provide an upper bound on the maximum multiplicity of an eigenvalue among the real symmetric matrices described by a graph. Rigid linkages and a related notion of rigid shortest linkages are utilized to obtain bounds on the multiplicities of eigenvalues of this family of matrices.
The zero forcing number Z(G), which is the minimum number of vertices in a zero forcing set of a graph G, is used to study the maximum nullity / minimum rank of the family of symmetric matrices described by G. It is shown that for a connected graph o
f order at least two, no vertex is in every zero forcing set. The positive semidefinite zero forcing number Z_+(G) is introduced, and shown to be equal to |G|-OS(G), where OS(G) is the recently defined ordered set number that is a lower bound for minimum positive semidefinite rank. The positive semidefinite zero forcing number is applied to the computation of positive semidefinite minimum rank of certain graphs. An example of a graph for which the real positive symmetric semidefinite minimum rank is greater than the complex Hermitian positive semidefinite minimum rank is presented.
Power domination in graphs arises from the problem of monitoring an electric power system by placing as few measurement devices in the system as possible. A power dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices that observes every vertex in the graph,
following a set of rules for power system monitoring. A practical problem of interest is to determine the minimum number of additional measurement devices needed to monitor a power network when the network is expanded and the existing devices remain in place. In this paper, we study the problem of finding the smallest power dominating set that contains a given set of vertices X. We also study the related problem of finding the smallest zero forcing set that contains a given set of vertices X. The sizes of such sets in a graph G are respectively called the restricted power domination number and restricted zero forcing number of G subject to X. We derive several tight bounds on the restricted power domination and zero forcing numbers of graphs, and relate them to other graph parameters. We also present exact and algorithmic results for computing the restricted power domination number, including integer programs for general graphs and a linear time algorithm for graphs with bounded treewidth. We also use restricted power domination to obtain a parallel algorithm for finding minimum power dominating sets in trees.
Given a graph $G$, one may ask: What sets of eigenvalues are possible over all weighted adjacency matrices of $G$? (The weight of an edge is positive or negative, while the diagonal entries can be any real numbers.) This is known as the Inverse Eigen
value Problem for graphs (IEP-$G$). A mild relaxation of this question considers the multiplicity list instead of the exact eigenvalues themselves. That is, given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and an ordered partition $mathbf{m}= (m_1, ldots, m_ell)$ of $n$, is there a weighted adjacency matrix where the $i$-th distinct eigenvalue has multiplicity $m_i$? This is known as the ordered multiplicity IEP-$G$. Recent work solved the ordered multiplicity IEP-$G$ for all graphs on 6 vertices. In this work, we develop zero forcing methods for the ordered multiplicity IEP-$G$ in a multitude of different contexts. Namely, we utilize zero forcing parameters on powers of graphs to achieve bounds on consecutive multiplicities. We are able to provide general bounds on sums of multiplicities of eigenvalues for graphs. This includes new bounds on the the sums of multiplicities of consecutive eigenvalues as well as more specific bounds for trees. Using these results, we verify the previous results above regarding the IEP-$G$ on six vertices. In addition, applying our techniques to skew-symmetric matrices, we are able to determine all possible ordered multiplicity lists for skew-symmetric matrices for connected graphs on five vertices.
Zero forcing is a combinatorial game played on a graph where the goal is to start with all vertices unfilled and to change them to filled at minimal cost. In the original variation of the game there were two options. Namely, to fill any one single ve
rtex at the cost of a single token; or if any currently filled vertex has a unique non-filled neighbor, then the neighbor is filled for free. This paper investigates a $q$-analogue of zero forcing which introduces a third option involving an oracle. Basic properties of this game are established including determining all graphs which have minimal cost $1$ or $2$ for all possible $q$, and finding the zero forcing number for all trees when $q=1$.
