Let $b(k,\theta)$ be the maximum order of a connected bipartite $k$-regular graph whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\theta$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for $b(k,\theta)$ for any $0\leq \theta< 2\sqrt{k-1}$. Our…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph. We define matrices $M(G; \alpha, \beta)$as $\alpha D + \beta A$, where $\alpha$, $\beta$ are real numbers such that $(\alpha, \beta) \neq (0, 0)$ and $D$ and $A$ are the diagonal matrix and adjacency matrix of…

A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex of $G$ is either in $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. Nordhaus-Gaddum inequailties relate a graph $G$ to its complement $\bar{G}$. In this spirit Wagner…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph both on the same vertex set. We say that a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is a \emph{Berge}-$G$ if there is a bijection $f : E(G) \rightarrow E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for $e \in E(G)$ we have…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, we denote by $$S_k(D(G))=\lambda_1(D(G))+\cdots+\lambda_k(D(G))$$ the sum of $k$ largest distance eigenvalues of $G$. In this paper, we consider the sharp upper bound and…

Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A(G) and degree diagonal matrix D(G). In 2017, Nikiforov [1] defined the matrix Aalpha(G), as a convex combination of A(G) and D(G), the following way, Aalpha(G) = alpha A(G) + (1 - alpha)D(G), where…

From Alon and Boppana, and Serre, we know that for any given integer $k\geq 3$ and real number $\lambda<2\sqrt{k-1}$, there are finitely many $k$-regular graphs whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\lambda$. In this paper, we…

For every real $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$, Nikiforov defined the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of a graph $G$ as $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of a graph $G$,…

In this paper, we study the order of a maximal clique in an amply regular graph with a fixed smallest eigenvalue by considering a vertex that is adjacent to some (but not all) vertices of the maximal clique. As a consequence, we show that…

Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers. An even $[a,b]$-factor of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that for every vertex $v \in V(G)$, $d_H(v)$ is even and $a \le d_H(v) \le b$. Matsuda conjectured that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex…
