We show that, in the graph spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian on trees, the eigenvalue 1 and eigenvalues near 1 are strongly related to minimum vertex covers. In particular, for the eigenvalue 1, its multiplicity is related to the…

The eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian of a graph provide information on its topological and structural characteristics and also on some relevant dynamical aspects, specifically in relation to random walks. In this paper we determine…

We prove canonical and non-canonical tree-of-tangles theorems for abstract separation systems that are merely structurally submodular. Our results imply all known tree-of-tangles theorems for graphs, matroids and abstract separation systems…

We prove new properties of the non-backtracking graph and the non-backtracking Laplacian for graphs. In particular, among other results, we prove that two simple graphs are isomorphic if and only if their corresponding non-backtracking…

We give a simple proof of Bourgain's theorem on the singularity of Ornstein's maps.

We consider two notions describing how one finite graph may be larger than another. Using them, we prove several theorems for such pairs that compare the number of spanning trees, the return probabilities of random walks, and the number of…

Let $T$ be a tree with a given adjacency eigenvalue $\lambda$. In this paper, by using the $\lambda$-minimal trees, we determine the structure of trees with a given multiplicity of the eigenvalue $\lambda$. Furthermore, we consider the…

We introduce a new operation on a class of graphs with the property that the Laplacian eigenvalues of the input and output graphs are related. Based on this operation, we obtain a family of order (square root of n) noncospectral unicyclic…

In this paper we present new proofs of the Conway-Gordon-Sachs and Sachs Theorems on the linked cycles in graphs embedded in $\R^3$. We reduce these theorems to certain property of graphs mapped to the plane.

Consider a semigraph $G=(V,\,E)$; in this paper, we study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of $G$. We show that the Laplacian of $G$ is positive semi-definite, and $G$ is connected if and only if $\lambda_2 >0.$ Along the similar…

The spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian yields a very comprehensive set of invariants of a graph. In order to understand the information contained in those invariants better, we systematically investigate the behavior of this…

We introduce the concept of a $k$-token signed graph and study some of its combinatorial and algebraic properties. We prove that two switching isomorphic signed graphs have switching isomorphic token graphs. Moreover, we show that the…

In this paper we study two classes of graphs, the (m,k)-stars and l-dependent graphs, investigating the relation between spectrum characteristics and graph structure: conditions on the topology and edge weights are given in order to get…

For a finite simple undirected graph $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ denote the size of a smallest dominating set of $G$ and $\mu(G)$ denote the number of eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of $G$ in the interval $[0,1)$, counting multiplicities.…

We investigate the spectral properties of rooted trees with the intention of improving the currently existing results that deal with this matter. The concept of an assigned rational function is recursively defined for each vertex of a…

We prove a conjecture of Courcelle, which states that a graph property is definable in MSO with modular counting predicates on graphs of constant treewidth if, and only if it is recognizable in the following sense: constant-width tree…

Let $m_G(I)$ denote the number of Laplacian eigenvalues of a graph $G$ in an interval $I$, and let $\gamma(G)$ denote its domination number. We extend the recent result $m_G[0,1) \leq \gamma(G)$, and show that isolate-free graphs also…

I will show that operator of analytic (harmonic) continuation on a lattice graph has a positive spectrum. I use a theorem about positivity of eigenvalues of totally positive matrices. I conjecture that by approximation the similar result…

Kirchhoff's Matrix-Tree Theorem asserts that the number of spanning trees in a finite graph can be computed from the determinant of any of its reduced Laplacian matrices. In many cases, even for well-studied families of graphs, this can be…

We show that for every $n$-vertex graph with at least one edge, its treewidth is greater than or equal to $n \lambda_{2} / (\Delta + \lambda_{2}) - 1$, where $\Delta$ and $\lambda_{2}$ are the maximum degree and the second smallest…
