A Mathematical Bibliography of Signed and Gain Graphs and Allied Areas (2018, background): “346–352: “degree of balance” (proportion of balanced polygons; Cartwright and Harary (1956A)); “line-index for balance” [frustration index] (Abelson and Rosenberg (1958a), Harary (1959b)).”
Matrices in the Theory of Signed Simple Graphs (2013, background): “Let w+ij(l) be the number of positive walks of length l from vi to vj (that is, the sign product of the edges in W is positive), and let w−ij(l) be the number of negative walks.”
