A well known upper bound for the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$, due to Cvetkovi\'{c}, is that \begin{equation*} \alpha(G) \le n^0 + \min\{n^+ , n^-\} \end{equation*} where $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ is the inertia of $G$. We prove…

The spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Woo and Neumaier discovered that a connected graph $G$ with $\rho(G)\leq 3/2{\sqrt{2}}$ is either a dagger, an open quipu, or a closed quipu.…

The $p$-spectral radius of a graph $G\ $of order $n$ is defined for any real number $p\geq1$ as \[ \lambda^{\left( p\right) }\left( G\right) =\max\left\{ 2\sum_{\{i,j\}\in E\left( G\right) \ }x_{i}x_{j}:x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}\in\mathbb{R}\text{…

The spectral radius of a graph is the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. A threshold graph is a simple graph whose vertices can be ordered as $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n$, so that for each $2 \le i \le n$, vertex $v_i$ is either adjacent…
