  • Abstract
    The concept of energy of a signed digraph is extended to iota energy of a signed digraph. The energy of a signed digraph S is defined by E(S)=∑nk=1|Re(zk)|, where Re(zk) is the real part of eigenvalue zk and zk is the eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of S with n vertices, k=1,2,…,n. Then the iota energy of S is defined by E(S)=∑nk=1|Im(zk)|, where Im(zk) is the imaginary part of eigenvalue zk. In this paper, we consider a special graph class for bicyclic signed digraphs Sn with n vertices which have two vertex-disjoint signed directed even cycles. We give two iota energy orderings of bicyclic signed digraphs, one is including two positive or two negative directed even cycles, the other is including one positive and one negative directed even cycles.
