In this note, we prove an interesting result about perfect matchings in a complete bipartite graph with 2n vertices on each side, whose edges are colored in red and blue such that each vertex is part of n red edges and n blue edges.

A centipede is a graph obtained by appending a pendant vertex to each vertex of degree 2 of a path. In this paper we prove that the centipede is determined by its Laplacian spectrum.

The paper presents some bipartite graph $L_{k,n}$, so called $(k,n)$-level graph, that arise by taking $k$-th and $(n-k)$-th levels of $n$-dimensional Boolean algebra. Two results are establised: (1) precise description of a distance (a…

A half-square of a bipartite graph $B=(X,Y,E_B)$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. If $G=(V,E_G)$ is the half-square of a planar bipartite graph…

The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$ is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by retaining the largest distances in each row and each column, and setting the remaining entries as $0$. In this article, a conjecture about the…

We investigate the spectrum of the non-backtracking matrix of a graph. In particular, we show how to obtain eigenvectors of the non-backtracking matrix in terms of eigenvectors of a smaller matrix. Furthermore, we find an expression for the…

It is well-known that eigenvalues of graphs can be used to describe structural properties and parameters of graphs. A theorem of Nosal states that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with $m$ edges, then $\lambda (G)\le \sqrt{m}$, equality…

In a simple drawing of a graph every pair of edges intersect each other in at most one point, which is either a common endvertex or a proper crossing. For each positive integer $n$, Negami identified a drawing $B_n$ of the complete…

A graph is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum if there is no other non-isomorphic graph sharing the same signless Laplacian spectrum. Let $C_l$, $P_l$, $K_l$ and $K_{s,l-s}$ be the cycle, the path, the complete graph and the…

We show that if the two parts of a finite bipartite graph have the same degree sequence, then there is a bipartite graph, with the same degree sequences, which is symmetric, in that it has an involutive graph automorphism that interchanges…

Let $G$ be a $q$-regular bipartite graph with bipartition $(U,V)$. It was proved by Lu, Wang, and Yan in 2020 that $G$ has a spanning subgraph $H$ such that each vertex of $U$ has degree 1 in $H$, and each vertex of $V$ has degree distinct…
