  Abstract:
Let G be a graph of order n and rank(G) denotes the rank of its adjacency matrix. Clearly, n \leqslant rank (G) + rank G \leqslant 2n. In this paper we characterize all graphs G such that rank(G) + rank(G) = n, n + 1 or n + 2. Also for every integer n \geqslant 5 and any k, 0\leqslant k \leqslant n, we construct a graph G of order n, such that rank(G) + rank (G) = n + k.
