Spectral extremal results with forbidding linear forests

Abstract

The Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize the number of edges over all graphs which do not contain fixed subgraphs. Similarly, the spectral Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize spectral radius of all graphs which do not contain fixed subgraphs. In this paper, we determine the maximum spectral radius of all graphs without containing a linear forest as a subgraph and characterize all corresponding extremal graphs. In addition, the maximum number of edges and spectral radius of all bipartite graphs without containing kP3k\cdot P_3 as a subgraph are obtained and all extremal graphs are also characterized. Moreover, some relations between Tu\'an type extremal problems and spectral Tur\'an type extremal problems are discussed.
