Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We obtain analogous results for Berge cycles in hypergraphs. Recently, the authors proved an exact lower…

The weighted adjacency matrix $A_{f}(G)$ of a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is the $|V|\times|V|$ matrix whose $ij$-entry equals $f(d_{i},d_j)$, where $f(x,y)$ is a symmetric function such that $f(d_i,d_j)>0$ if $ij\in E$ and $f(d_i,d_j)=0$ if…

Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree $\delta$. The spectral radius of $G$, denoted by $\rho(G)$, is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. In this note we mainly prove the following two results. (1) Let $G$ be a graph on…

For $0\leq \alpha < 1$, the $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}$-spectral radius of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ is defined to be the spectral radius of the tensor $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}(G):=\alpha \mathcal{D}(G)+(1-\alpha) \mathcal{A}(G)$, where…

We suggest two related conjectures dealing with the existence of spanning irregular subgraphs of graphs. The first asserts that any $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices contains a spanning subgraph in which the number of vertices of each…
