We study the maximum number of edges in an $n$ vertex graph with Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter no more than $t$. We conjecture that for every integer $t$, if $G$ is a graph with at least $t$ vertices and Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter at…

The classical spectral Tur\'{a}n problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $F$-free graph of order $n$. This paper extends this framework to signed graphs. Let $\mathcal{C}_r^-$ be the set of all unbalanced signed graphs…
