For a graph $G$ of order $n$, the spectral sum of $G$ is defined to be the sum $\lambda_1(G) + \lambda_2(G)$, where $\lambda_1(G)$ (resp. $\lambda_2(G)$) is the largest (resp. second largest) adjacency eigenvalue of $G$. Ebrahimi, Mohar,…

The $k$-th token graph of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the graph $F_k(G)$ whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V$ and whose edges are all pairs of $k$-subsets $A,B$ such that the symmetric difference of $A$ and $B$ forms an edge in $G$. Let…

We present a randomized algorithm that computes a constant approximation of a graph's arboricity, using $\tilde{O}(n/\lambda)$ queries to adjacency lists and in the same time bound. Here, $n$ and $\lambda$ denote the number of nodes and the…

The normalized distance Laplacian of a graph $G$ is defined as $\mathcal{D}^\mathcal{L}(G)=T(G)^{-1/2}(T(G)-\mathcal{D}(G))T(G)^{-1/2}$ where $\mathcal{D}(G)$ is the matrix with pairwise distances between vertices and $T(G)$ is the diagonal…

The Helmholtzian matrix of a graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$ is a graph-theoretic analogue of the vector Laplacian (or Helmholtz operator) [S. Li, L. Lu, J.F. Wang, A graph discretization of vector Laplacian, 379 (2026) 446--460]. Motivated by the…
