Recent work shows that a new family of norms on Hermitian matrices arise by evaluating the even degree complete homogeneous symmetric (CHS) polynomials on the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix. The CHS norm of a graph is then defined by…
For $k\ge 1$, the $k$-independence number $\alpha_k$ of a graph is the maximum number of vertices that are mutually at distance greater than $k$. The well-known inertia and ratio bounds for the (1-)independence number $\alpha(=\alpha_1)$ of…
Given an undirected graph $G$, we define a new object $H_G$, called the mp-chart of $G$, in the max-plus algebra. We use it, together with the max-plus permanent, to describe the complexity of graphs. We show how to compute the mean and the…
Given a graph, a $k$-plex is a set of vertices in which each vertex is not adjacent to at most $k-1$ other vertices in the set. The maximum $k$-plex problem, which asks for the largest $k$-plex from the given graph, is an important but…
For a graph $G$, the generalized adjacency matrix $A_\alpha(G)$ is the convex combination of the diagonal matrix $D(G)$ and the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and is defined as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha) A(G)$ for $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$.…
We study regular graphs whose distance-$2$ graph or distance-$1$-or-$2$ graph is strongly regular. We provide a characterization of such graphs $\Gamma$ (among regular graphs with few distinct eigenvalues) in terms of the spectrum and the…
Consider d uniformly random permutation matrices on n labels. Consider the sum of these matrices along with their transposes. The total can be interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a random regular graph of degree 2d on n vertices. We…
The spectral radius of a graph is the largest modulus of an eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Let $\mathcal{C}_{n, e}$ be the set of all the connected simple graphs with $n$ vertices and $n - 1 + e$ edges. Here, we solve the spectral…
We extend the concept of graph energy, introduced by Gutman, to matrices. We give upper and lower bounds on matrix energy extending previous results for graphs. In particular, we estimate the energy of almost all graphs.
We present faster algorithms for approximate maximum flow in undirected graphs with good separator structures, such as bounded genus, minor free, and geometric graphs. Given such a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges along with a recursive…
