Will the set of eigenvalues of an incident matrix derive an equivalent notion of a graph spectrum as it does with an adjacency matrix?

Specifically:

Let sa be the set of eigenvalues of an adjacency matrix for graph G.

And,

Let si be the set of eigenvalues of an incident matrix for graph G.

What are the differences between sa and si? Could these both be considered spectrums of the graph? If not, why?

Thanks much!

What is your definition for incident matrix? If it's the usual definition, then it's likely not a square (nxn) matrix so it doesn't make sense to talk about eigenvalues. You can however look at its singular values which I think are related to eigenvalues of the line graph of G.
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##?
