Bollob\'as and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859--865] conjectured the following. If $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on at least $r+1$ vertices and $m$ edges, then $\lambda^2_1(G)+\lambda^2_2(G)\leq \frac{r-1}{r}\cdot2m$,…

For a simple graph $G$, the $2$-distance graph, $D_2(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in the graph $G$. In this paper, for graphs $G$ with diameter 2, we show that…

We bound the mean distance in a connected graph which is not a tree in function of its order $n$ and its girth $g$. On one hand, we show that mean distance is at most $\frac{n+1}{3}-\frac{g(g^2-4)}{12n(n-1)}$ if $g$ is even and at most…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, where $V=\{v_1, v_2, \cdots, v_n\}$ and $m=|E|$. $d_i$ will denote the degree of vertex $v_i$ of $G$, and $\Delta=\max_{1\leq i \leq n} d_i$. The ABC matrix of $G$ is defined as $M(G)=(m_{ij})_{n \times…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex (edge) labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. It is known that for every graph $G$…

For a finite simple graph $G$, say $G$ is of dimension $n$, and write $\dim(G) = n$, if $n$ is the smallest integer such that $G$ can be represented as a unit-distance graph in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Define $G$ to be \emph{dimension-critical} if…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph with $n\geq 5$ vertices. In this note, we will prove that $s_3(G)\leq n$, and characterize the graphs which satisfy that $s_3(G)=n, n-1, n-2, $ or $n-3$, where $s_3(G)$ is the third invariant factor of…

The reciprocal distance Laplacian matrix of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $RD^L(G)=RT(G)-RD(G)$, where $RT(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of reciprocal distance degrees and $RD(G)$ is the Harary matrix. Since $RD^L(G)$ is a real symmetric…

A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is isolating if the set of vertices not in $D$ or with no neighbor in $D$ is independent. The isolation number of $G$, denoted by $\iota (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of an isolating set of $G$. It is…
