A mixed graph is a graph with undirected and directed edges. Guo and Mohar in 2017 determined all mixed graphs whose Hermitian spectral radii are less than $2$. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition which can make Hermitian spectral…

For a nonnegative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical if $G-Q$ admits a perfect matching for any $Q\subseteq V(G)$ with $|Q|=k$. In this article, we prove spectral radius conditions for the existence of…

A rose graph is a graph consisting of cycles that all meet in one vertex. We show that except for two specific examples, these rose graphs are determined by the Laplacian spectrum, thus proving a conjecture posed by Lui and Huang [F.J. Liu…

In this paper, we investigate spectral properties of the adjacency tensor, Laplacian tensor and signless Laplacian tensor of general hypergraphs (including uniform and non-uniform hypergraphs). We obtain some bounds for the spectral radius…

The dominating graph of a graph $H$ has as its vertices all dominating sets of $H$, with an edge between two dominating sets if one can be obtained from the other by the addition or deletion of a single vertex of $H$. In this paper we prove…

A graph $G$ contains a strong parity factor $F$ if for every subset $X\subseteq V(G)$ with $|X|$ even, $G$ has a spanning subgraph $F$ satisfying $\delta(F)\geq1$, $d_F(u)\equiv1$ (mod 2) for any $u\in X$, and $d_F(v)\equiv0$ (mod 2) for…

Let claw be the graph $K_{1,3}$. A graph $G$ on $n\geq 3$ vertices is called \emph{o}-heavy if each induced claw of $G$ has a pair of end-vertices with degree sum at least $n$, and 1-heavy if at least one end-vertex of each induced claw of…

A famous conjecture of Lov\'asz states that every connected vertex-transitive graph contains a Hamilton path. In this article we confirm the conjecture in the case that the graph is dense and sufficiently large. In fact, we show that such…

We characterize when the spectral variation of the signed Laplacian matrices is integral after a new edge is added to a signed graph. As an application, for every fixed signed complete graph, we fully characterize the class of signed graphs…

The Hermitian adjacency matrices of digraphs based on the sixth root of unity were introduced in [B. Mohar, A new kind of Hermitian matrices for digraphs, Linear Alg. Appl. (2020)]. They appear to be the most natural choice for the spectral…

Two graphs are co-spectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multi-set of eigenvalues. A graph is said to be determined by its spectrum if all graphs that are co-spectral with it are isomorphic to it. We consider these…
