Let $G$ be a finite simple graph. The line graph $L(G)$ represents the adjacencies between edges of $G$. We define first the line simplicial complex $\Delta_L(G)$ of $G$ containing Gallai and anti-Gallai simplicial complexes…

Associated to a simple undirected graph $G$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_G$ whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. A graph $G$ is called vertex decomposable if $\Delta_G$ is a vertex decomposable simplicial complex. We…

We show that if a planar graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $3$ has positive Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on every edge, then $\Delta(G)\leq 17$, which then implies that $G$ is finite. This is an analogue of a result of DeVos and Mohar…

Using functions from electrical networks (graphs with resistors assigned to edges), we prove existence (with explicit formulas) of a canonical Parseval frame in the energy Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}_{E}$ of a prescribed infinite (or finite)…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with the Laplacian matrix $L(G)$ and let $e(G)$ be the number of edges of $G$. A conjecture by Brouwer and a conjecture by Grone and Merris state that the sum of the $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ is at…

For a given infinite connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an arbitrary but fixed conductance function $c$, we study an associated graph Laplacian $\Delta_{c}$; it is a generalized difference operator where the differences are measured across the…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\Delta(G)$ be the prime graph built on the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$: this is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the prime numbers dividing some conjugacy class size of $G$, two…

Bounds are proved for the connective constant \mu\ of an infinite, connected, \Delta-regular graph G. The main result is that \mu\ \ge \sqrt{\Delta-1} if G is vertex-transitive and simple. This inequality is proved subject to weaker…

Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Laplacian matrix of G, denoted by L(G), is defined as L(G) = D(G) - A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and D(G) is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. A graph G is said to be…

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…
