Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of simple graphs (or multigraphs) $G$ such that for each $G \in \mathcal{G}$ there exists at least two non-empty disjoint proper subsets $V_{1},V_{2}\subseteq V(G)$ satisfying $V(G)\setminus(V_{1} \cup…

Let $\eta_{1}\ge \eta_{2}\ge\cdots\ge \eta_{n}$ be the eigenavalues of $\mathcal{ABS}$ matrix. In this paper, we characterize connected graphs with $\mathcal{ABS}$ eigenvalue $\eta_{n}>-1$. As a result, we determine all connected graphs…

We give constructive proofs for the existence of uniquely hamiltonian graphs for various sets of degrees. We give constructions for all sets with minimum 2 (a trivial case added for completeness), all sets with minimum 3 that contain an…

Let $\lambda_2$ be the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph. In 2023, Li and Sun \cite{LiSun1} determined all the connected $\{K_{2,3}, K_4\}$-minor free graphs whose second largest eigenvalue $\lambda_2\le…

For a connected graph $G$, we denote by $L(G)$, $m_{G}(\lambda)$, $c(G)$ and $p(G)$ the line graph of $G$, the eigenvalue multiplicity of $\lambda$ in $G$, the cyclomatic number and the number of pendant vertices in $G$, respectively. In…

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…

We complete the determination of the signed graphs for which the adjacency matrix has all but at most two eigenvalues equal to $\pm 1$. The unsigned graphs and the disconnected, the bipartite and the complete signed graphs with this…

Guo and Royle recently classified the connected cubic graphs without eigenvalues of their adjacency matrix in the open interval $(-1, 1)$, and raised the question of extending their classification to graphs of maximum degree at most $3$.…

In this paper, some special distance spectral properties of graphs are considered. Concretely, we recursively construct an infinite family of trees with distance eigenvalue $-1$, and determine all $\{C_3,C_4\}$-free connected graphs with…

Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…

Let $G$ be a connected $d$-regular graph of order $n$, where $d\geq3$. Let $\lambda_{2}(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. For even $n$, we show that $G$ contains $\left\lfloor\frac{2}{3}(d-\lambda_{2}(G))\right\rfloor$…

We first prove that for every vertex x of a 4-connected graph G there exists a subgraph H in G isomorphic to a subdivision of the complete graph K4 on four vertices such that G-V(H) is connected and contains x. This implies an affirmative…

Given a simple graph $G$, its $A_\alpha$ matrix is a convex combination with parameter $\alpha\in [0,1]$ of its adjacency matrix and its degree diagonal matrices. Here we compare two lower bounds presented in [J. D. G. Silva Jr., C. S.…

We characterise graphs that have three distinct eigenvalues and coherent ranks 8 and 9, linking the former to certain symmetric 2-designs and the latter to specific quasi-symmetric 2-designs. This characterisation leads to the discovery of…

Let $\mu_2(G)$ be the second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph $G$. The vertex connectivity of $G$, written $\kappa(G)$, is the minimum size of a vertex set $S$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected. Fiedler proved that $\mu_2(G) \le…

Let $G$ be a connected simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $\mathcal{L}(G)$ be the normalized Laplacian matrix of $G$ and $\rho_{n-1}(G)$ be the second least eigenvalue of $\mathcal{L}(G)$. Denote by $\nu(G)$ the independence number of $G$.…

All finite simple self $2$-distance graphs with no $4$-cycle, diamond, or triangles with a common vertex are determined. Utilizing these results, it is shown that there is no cubic self $2$-distance graphs.

We show that if $G=(V,E)$ is a 4-connected flat graph, then any real symmetric $V\times V$ matrix $M$ with exactly one negative eigenvalue and satisfying, for any two distinct vertices $i$ and $j$, $M_{ij}<0$ if $i$ and $j$ are adjacent,…
