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…

A graph is a cograph if it is $P_4$-free. A $k$-polar partition of a graph $G$ is a partition of the set of vertices of $G$ into parts $A$ and $B$ such that the subgraph induced by $A$ is a complete multipartite graph with at most $k$…

The $\mathcal{Q}$-graph of a graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{Q}(G)$, is the graph derived from $G$ by plugging a new vertex to each edge of $G$ and adding a new edge between two new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of $G$. In this…

Let $G$ be a simple graph. In 1986, Herbert Wilf asked what kind of graphs have an eigenvector with entries formed only by $\pm 1$? In this paper, we answer this question for the adjacency, Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrix of a…

In this paper, we introduce the Laplacian and the signless Laplacian for the eccentricity matrix of a connected graph, referred to as the eccentricity Laplacian and the eccentricity signless Laplacian, respectively. We establish the…

In this paper, it is shown that the graph $T_4(p,q,r)$ is determined by its Laplacian spectrum and there are no two non-isomorphic such graphs which are cospectral with respect to adjacency spectrum.

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $X$ of $V$ is an interval of $G$ provided that for any $a, b\in X$ and $ x\in V \setminus X$, $\{a,x\}\in E$ if and only if $\{b,x\}\in E$. For example, $\emptyset$, $\{x\}(x\in V)$ and $V$ are intervals of…

We give a combinatorial characterization of graphs whose normalized Laplacian has three distinct eigenvalues. Strongly regular graphs and complete bipartite graphs are examples of such graphs, but we also construct more exotic families of…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-integral graphs. A graph $\Gamma$ is called $k$-integral if the extension degree of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of $\Gamma$ over rational field $\mathbb Q$ is equal to…

The signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is defined to be the sum of its adjacency matrix and degree diagonal matrix, and its eigenvalues are called $Q$-eigenvalues of $G$. A $Q$-eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a $Q$-main eigenvalue…

A graph is "$\ell$-holed" if all its induced cycles of length at least four have length exactly $\ell$. We give a complete description of the $\ell$-holed graphs for each $\ell\ge 7$.

Let $\partial^L_1\ge\partial^L_2\ge\cdots\ge\partial^L_n$ be the distance Laplacian eigenvalues of a connected graph $G$ and $m(\partial^L_i)$ the multiplicity of $\partial^L_i$. It is well known that the graphs with $m(\partial^L_1)=n-1$…

We consider large uniform labeled random graphs in different classes with few induced $P_4$ ($P_4$ is the graph consisting of a single line of $4$ vertices) which generalize the case of cographs. Our main result is the convergence to a…

Let $V$ be a set of cardinality $v$ (possibly infinite). Two graphs $G$ and $G'$ with vertex set $V$ are {\it isomorphic up to complementation} if $G'$ is isomorphic to $G$ or to the complement $\bar G$ of $G$. Let $k$ be a non-negative…

Let $\Gamma$ be a locally finite graph, $L$ the normalized Laplacian of $\Gamma$. If $\Gamma$ is uniformy locally finite, i.e. if each vertex has no more than $d$ adjacent vertices, then the matrix of $L$ (with respect to the standard…

In this paper we deal with a subclass of chordal graphs, which are simultaneously strictly chordal and interval, the strictly interval graphs. We present a new characterization of the class that leads to a simple linear recognition…

In this paper we define signless Laplacian matrix of a hypergraph and obtain structural properties from its eigenvalues. We generalize several known results for graphs, relating the spectrum of this matrix with structural parameters of the…

Let $G$ be a graph with $p(G)$ pendant vertices and $q(G)$ quasi-pendant vertices. Denote by $m_{L(G)}(\lambda)$ the multiplicity of $\lambda$ as a Laplacian eigenvalue of $G$. Let $\overline{G}$ be the reduced graph of $G$, which can be…

In 2012, L\'ev\^eque, Maffray, and Trotignon conjectured that each graph $G$ that contains no induced subdivision of $K_4$ is $4$-colorable. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds when $G$ contains a $K_{1,2,3}$.

Recently, Laplacian matrices of graphs are studied as density matrices in quantum mechanics. We continue this study and give conditions for separability of generalized Laplacian matrices of weighted graphs with unit trace. In particular, we…
