We investigate the bounds on algebraic connectivity of graphs subject to constraints on the number of edges, vertices, and topology. We show that the algebraic connectivity for any tree on $n$ vertices and with maximum degree $d$ is bounded…

We derive attainable upper bounds on the algebraic connectivity (spectral gap) of a regular graph in terms of its diameter and girth. This bound agrees with the well-known Alon-Boppana-Friedman bound for graphs of even diameter, but is an…

The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. It is demonstrated that the seven known triangle-free strongly regular graphs, such as the Higman-Sims graph, are graphs of maximal complexity among all graphs of the…

Graph rigidity, the study of vertex realizations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and the motions that preserve the induced edge lengths, has been the focus of extensive research for decades. Its equivalency to graph connectivity for $d=1$ is well known;…

In this paper we show that the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity of an arbitrary graph $G$ is bounded above by its $1$-dimensional algebraic connectivity, i.e., $a_d(G) \leq a_1(G)$, where $a_1(G)$ corresponds the well-studied second…

We improve the best known lower bounds on the exponential behavior of the maximum of the number of connected sets, $N(G)$, and dominating connected sets, $N_{dom}(G)$, for regular graphs. These lower bounds are improved by constructing a…

In this note we elaborate on some notions of surface area for discrete graphs which are closely related to the inverse degree. These notions then naturally lead to associated connectivity measures of graphs and to the definition of a…

Algebraic connectivity is one way to quantify graph connectivity, which in turn gauges robustness as a network. In this paper, we consider the problem of maximising algebraic connectivity both local and globally over all simple, undirected,…

We conjecture a new lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of a graph that involves the number of vertices of high eccentricity in a graph. We prove that this lower bound implies a strengthening of the Laplacian Spread Conjecture. We…
