Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN1} defined the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ as $$A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ with girth $g$. For $k=1,\dots,\min\{g-1, n-g\}$, let $n(G,k)$ be the number of Laplacian eigenvalues (counting multiplicities) of $G$ that fall inside the interval $[n-g-k+4,n]$. We prove that if…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$, let $e(G)$ be the number of its distinct eigenvalues and $d$ be the diameter. We denote by $m_G(\mu)$ the eigenvalue multiplicity of $\mu$ in $G$. It is well known that $e(G)\geq d+1$, which shows…

We study regular graphs whose distance-$2$ graph or distance-$1$-or-$2$ graph is strongly regular. We provide a characterization of such graphs $\Gamma$ (among regular graphs with few distinct eigenvalues) in terms of the spectrum and the…

For a graph $G$, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set consisting of Hermitian matrices whose graph is $G$. Denoted by $m_B(G,\lambda)$ the multiplicity of an eigenvalue $\lambda$ of $B(G)\in \mathcal{S}(G)$, we show that $m_B(G,\lambda)\le…

We relate star colouring of even-degree regular graphs to the notions of locally constrained graph homomorphisms to the oriented line graph $ \vec{L}(K_q) $ of the complete graph $ K_q $ and to its underlying undirected graph $ L^*(K_q) $.…

A graph G is weakly 4-connected if it is 3-connected, has at least five vertices, and for every pair of sets (A,B) with union V(G) and intersection of size three such that no edge has one end in A-B and the other in B-A, one of the induced…

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of the plain eigenvalue, the main-plain index and the refined spectrum of graphs. We focus on the graphs with two main and two plain eigenvalues and give some characterizations of them.

There is a rich history of studying the existence of cycles in planar graphs. The famous Tutte theorem on the Hamilton cycle states that every 4-connected planar graph contains a Hamilton cycle. Later on, Thomassen (1983), Thomas and Yu…

In this paper we consider the eigenvalues and the Seidel eigenvalues of a chain graph. An$\dbar$eli\'{c}, da Fonseca, Simi\'{c}, and Du \cite{andelic2020tridiagonal} conjectured that there do not exist non-isomorphic cospectral chain graphs…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ with diameter $d$. Let $m_G(-1)$ denote the multiplicity of the eigenvalue $-1$ of the adjacency matrix of $G$, and let $P = P_{d+1}$ be the diameter path of $G$. If $-1$ is not an eigenvalue…

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on its arcs. Guo et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 18, \#P233, 2011) and Pan et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 20, \#P36, 2013) determined all pentavalent symmetric graphs of…

A 4-wheel is a graph formed by a cycle C and a vertex not in C that has at least four neighbors in C. We prove that a graph G that does not contain a 4-wheel as a subgraph is 4-colorable and we describe some structural properties of such a…

We show that the method of counting closed walks in strongly regular graphs rules out no parameter sets other than those ruled out by the method of counting eigenvalue multiplicities.
