Let $H=(V,E)$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph with the vertex set $V$ and the edge set $E$. For $1\leq s \leq r/2$, we define a weighted graph $G^{(s)}$ on the vertex set ${V\choose s}$ as follows. Every pair of $s$-sets $I$ and $J$ is…

Given a finite, simple, connected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V|=n$, we consider the associated graph Laplacian matrix $L = D - A$ with eigenvalues $0 = \lambda_1 < \lambda_2 \leq \dots \leq \lambda_n$. One can also consider the same graph…

Threshold graphs are graphs that can be characterized in a number of different ways. For example, they are graphs that are $P_4,\ C_4,\ 2K_2$--free. They may also be characterized by a finite sequence of positive integers $a_1, \ldots,…
