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…

The distance matrix of a graph $G$ is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The distance eigenvalues of $G$ are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix and they form the distance spectrum of $G$. We determine the…
