In this work we obtain basis for the null space of unicyclic graphs. We extend the null decomposition of trees from [11] for unicyclic graphs. As an application, we obtain closed formulas for the independence and matching numbers of unicyclic graphs just using the support of the graph.
We characterize unicyclic graphs that are singular using the support of the null space of their pendant trees. From this, we obtain closed formulas for the independence and matching numbers of a unicyclic graph, based on the support of its subtrees. These formulas allows one to compute independence and matching numbers of unicyclic graphs using linear algebra methods.
