Let V (G) = . 1 , v2 , . , vp } be the vertex set of G. The adjacency matrix of G is defined as A(G) = . ij ], where aij = 1 if vi is adjacent to vj and aij = 0, otherwise. The characteristic polynomial of G is i(G : ) = det(I Oe A(G)),where I is unit matrix of order p. The roots of the equation i(G : ) = 0 denoted by 1 , 2 , . , p are the eigenvalues of G and their Ocp collection is the spectrum of G . The energy . of G is defined as E(G) = i=1 . The spectrum of the complete graph Kp is . Oe 1, and Oe 1. Oe . Consequently E(Kp ) = 2. Oe . It was conjectured some years ago that, among all graphs with p vertices the complete graph has the greatest energy . But this is not true . There are graphs having energy greater than E(Kp ). The graph G with E(G) > E(Kp ) is referred as hyperenergetic graph, otherwise known as non-hypernergetic . Some Edge Deleted Cluster Graphs Gutman and L. PavlovicA . introduced four classes of graps obtained from compete graph by deleting edges. For the sake of continuity we recall these here. Definition 2. Let v be a vertex of the complete graph Kp , p Ou 3 and let ei , i = 1, 2, . , k, 1 O k O p Oe 1, be its disdinct edges, all being incident to v. The graph Kap . r Cl. , . ) is obtained by deleting ei , i = 1, 2, . , k from Kp . addition Kap . O = Kp . Definition 2. Let fi , i = 1, 2, . , k, i O k O UOp/2UU be independent edges of the complete graph Kp , p Ou 3. The graph Kbp . is obtained by deleting edges fi , i = 1, 2, . , k from Kp . The graph Kbp . O = Kp . Energy of Complement Stars Definition 2. Let complete graph Kk be the induced subgraph of Kp , 2 O k O p, p Ou 3. The graph Kcp . is obtained by deleting from Kp all the edges of Kk . In addition Kcp . O = Kcp . O = Kp . Definition 2. Let 3 O k O p, p Ou 3. The graph Kdp . obtained from Kp , by deleting the edges belonging to a k-membered cycle. Theorem 2.

Two subgraphs G1 and G2 of graph G are independent subgraphs if V (G1 ) O V (G2 ) is an empty set. Definition 2. Let K1,mOe1 be a star graph. Let Kp be a complete graph on p The graph obatined by deleting k independent stars (K1,mOe1 ) from Kp will be denoted by Cl. , m, . In addition for k = 1. Cl. , m, . = Cl. , . Definition 2. Let K1,m1 Oe1 and K1,m2 Oe1 be star graphs. The graph obatined by deleting the edges of k1 independent stars (K1,m1 Oe1 ) and edges of k2 independent stars (K1,m2 Oe1 ) from Kp denoted by Cl. , . 1 , k1 ), . 2 , k2 )). In addition for k2 = 0, m1 = m, k1 = k. Cl. , . 1 , k1 ), . 2 , k2 )) O = Cl. , m, . Hampiholi. Walikar, and B. Durgi Now we proceed to prove the main result in the form of Theorem 2. 11 and Theorem 2. Theorem 2. Let p, m, k be positive integers. Let mk O p. Then the characteristic polynomial of Cl. , m, . is i(Cl. , m, . : ) ( . pOe2kOe1 [( . 2 Oe . Oe . ]kOe1 . Oe . Oe . mk Oe 2p Oe 2k Oe m . Oe m. Oe . Proof. Without loss of generality let k independent stars of order m of Cl. , m, . be situated as follows. For j = 0, 1, . , k Oe 1, on each of the vertices vjm 1 , m Oe 1 vertices vjm i , i = 2, 3, . , m are incident. Let the adjacency matrix of Cl. , m, . be A. The characteristic polynomial of Cl. , m, . is det(I Oe A). For convinience, we compute det(AOeI) and then multiply by (Oe. p to be the final result. Therefore the characteristic polynomial of Cl. , m, . is the following determinant. Subtracting first column from all other columns and setting 1 = X, in the above determinant, we obtain .

Ri Oe Rm for i = 2, 3, . , m Oe 1 and R1 Oe ( . Rm . C1 CXi for i = mk 1, mk 2, . , p, we get Cl. , m, . = = |M ||Q| . as P is zero block. Simplifying |Q| of . we obtain i(Cl. , m, . : ) = (OeX)pOemk |M | Again performing next set of operations on |M | sequentially. Adding columns Cjm 1 , for j = 1, 2, . , k Oe 1 to the first column C1 . Multiplying X to columns Cjm 1 , j = 1, 2, . , kOe1 and dividing by X kOe1 .
