A graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix consist entirely of integers. Recently, Csikvari proved the existence of integral trees of any even diameter. In the odd case, integral trees have been constructed with…

The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero in its adjacency spectrum. In this paper, we give a closed formula for the minimum and maximum nullity among trees with the same degree sequence, using the notion of matching…

A graph is called integral if all its eigenvalues are integers. A Cayley graph is called normal if its connection set is a union of conjugacy classes. We show that a non-empty integral normal Cayley graph for a group of odd order has an odd…

A graph is called integral if all the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix are integers. In this paper, we show a cograph that has a balanced cotree $T_{G}(a_{1},\ldots,a_{r-1},0|0,\ldots,0,a_{r})$ is integral computing its spectrum. As an…

Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…

If a graph has a non-singular adjacency matrix, then one may use the inverse matrix to define a (labeled) graph that may be considered to be the inverse graph to the original one. It has been known that an adjacency matrix of a tree is…

Graph eigenvalues are examples of totally real algebraic integers, i.e. roots of real-rooted monic polynomials with integer coefficients. Conversely, the fact that every totally real algebraic integer occurs as an eigenvalue of some finite…

A nut graph is a simple graph of order 2 or more for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry (i.e. are full). It is shown by construction that every finite group…

A graph is called integral if its eigenvalues are integers. In this article, we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for a Cayley graph over a finite symmetric algebra $R$ to be integral. This generalizes the work of So who…

A graph is called an integral graph when all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix are integers. We study which Cayley graphs over a nonabelian group $$ T_{8n}=\left\langle a,b\mid a^{2n}=b^8=e,a^n=b^4,b^{-1}ab=a^{-1} \right \rangle $$ are…

A graph G is called well-indumatched if all of its maximal induced matchings have the same size. In this paper we characterize all well-indumatched trees. We provide a linear time algorithm to decide if a tree is well-indumatched or not.…

Among those real symmetric matrices whose graph is a given tree $T$, the maximum multiplicity $M(T)$ that can be attained by an eigenvalue is known to be the path cover number of $T$. We say that a tree is $k$-NIM if, whenever an eigenvalue…

The inertia of a graph $G$ is defined to be the triplet $In(G) = (p(G), n(G), $ $\eta(G))$, where $p(G)$, $n(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ are the numbers of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues (including multiplicities) of the adjacency matrix…

A spanning subgraph $F$ of a graph $G$ is called perfect if $F$ is a forest, the degree $d_F(x)$ of each vertex $x$ in $F$ is odd, and each tree of $F$ is an induced subgraph of $G$. We provide a short proof of the following theorem of A.D.…

A tree T is invertible if and only if T has a perfect matching. Godsil considers an invertible tree T and finds that the inverse of the adjacency matrix of T has entries in {0, 1, -1} and is the signed adjacency matrix of a graph which…

For a graph $G$, let $L(G)$ and $Q(G)$ be the Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrices of $G$, respectively, and $\tau(G)$ be the number of spanning trees of $G$. We prove that if $G$ has an odd number of vertices and $\tau(G)$ is not…
