We revisit results obtained in [F. Harary, U. Peled, Hamiltonian threshold graphs, Discrete Appl.~Math., 16 (1987), 11--15], where several necessary and necessary and sufficient conditions for a connected threshold graph to be Hamiltonian…

It is well known that the complete multipartite graphs can not be determined by their adjacency spectra. But in this paper, we prove that they can be determined by their distance spectra, which confirms the conjecture proposed by Lin, Hong,…

For a nonnegative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical if $G-Q$ admits a perfect matching for any $Q\subseteq V(G)$ with $|Q|=k$. In this article, we prove spectral radius conditions for the existence of…

Let $G$ be a graph and $h: E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a function. For any two positive integers $a$ and $b$ with $a\leq b$, a fractional $[a,b]$-factor of $G$ with the indicator function $h$ is a spanning subgraph with vertex set $V(G)$ and…

Let G be a graph of given order and mu(G) be the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. We give conditions on mu(G) that imply Hamiltonicity of G and of its complement.

A graph $G$ is called $k$-factor-critical if after deleting any $k$ vertices the remaining subgraph still has a perfect matching. Fan and Lin [Adv. in Appl. Math. 174 (2026) 103019] posed an adjacency spectral condition for a graph with…

The toughness of graph $G$, denoted by $\tau(G)$, is $\tau(G)=\min\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}:S\subseteq V(G),c(G-S)\geq2\}$ for every vertex cut $S$ of $V(G)$ and the number of components of $G$ is denoted by $c(G)$. Bondy in 1973, suggested the…

We study the symmetry properties of the spectra of normalized Laplacians on signed graphs. We find a new machinery that generates symmetric spectra for signed graphs, which includes bipartiteness of unsigned graphs as a special case.…

The best degree-based upper bound for the spectral radius is due to Liu and Weng. This paper begins by demonstrating that a (forgotten) upper bound for the spectral radius dating from 1983 is equivalent to their much more recent bound. This…

Among the well-known sufficient degree conditions for the Hamiltonicity of a finite graph, the condition of Asratian and Khachatrian is the weakest and thus gives the strongest result. Diestel conjectured that it should extend to locally…
