Let $G$ be a graph. For a subset $X$ of $V(G)$, the switching $\sigma$ of $G$ is the signed graph $G^{\sigma}$ obtained from $G$ by reversing the signs of all edges between $X$ and $V(G)\setminus X$. Let $A(G^{\sigma})$ be the adjacency…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…

Let F(G) be a fixed linear combination of the k extremal eigenvalues of a graph G and of its complement. The problem of finding max{F(G):v(G)=n} generalizes a number of problems raised previously in the literature. We show that the limit…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

We call a finite undirected graph minimally k-matchable if it has at least k distinct perfect matchings but deleting any edge results in a graph which has not. An odd subdivision of some graph G is any graph obtained by replacing every edge…

The ring of graph invariants is spanned by the basic graph invariants which calculate the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph in other graphs. These subgraphs counting invariants are not algebraically independent. In our view…

A discrete Schr\"odinger operator of a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix whose $i,j$-entry, $i \neq j$, is negative if $\{i,j\}$ is an edge and zero if it is not an edge, while diagonal entries can be any real numbers. The discrete…
