This is a continuation of the article with the same title. In this paper, the family H is the same as in the previous paper "On Graphs with the Smallest Eigenvalue at Least $-1-\sqrt{2}$, part I". The main result is that a minimal graph…

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…

We determine all Hermitian $\mathcal{O}_{\Q(\sqrt{d})}$-matrices for which every eigenvalue is in the interval [-2,2], for each d in {-2,-7,-11,-15\}. To do so, we generalise charged signed graphs to $\mathcal{L}$-graphs for appropriate…

Much effort has been spent on characterizing the spectrum of the non-backtracking matrix of certain classes of graphs, with special emphasis on the leading eigenvalue or the second eigenvector. Much less attention has been paid to the…

If $v$ is an eigenvector for eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a graph $X$ and $\alpha$ is an automorphism of $X$, then $\alpha(v)$ is also an eigenvector for $\lambda$. Thus it is rather exceptional for an eigenvalue of a vertex-transitive graph to…

In this paper, we characterize all graphs with eigenvectors of the signless Laplacian and adjacency matrices with components equal to $\{- 1, 0, 1\}.$ We extend the graph parameter max $k$-cut to square matrices and prove a general sharp…

In this paper, we completely characterize the graphs with third largest distance eigenvalue at most $-1$ and smallest distance eigenvalue at least $-3$. In particular, we determine all graphs whose distance matrices have exactly two…

Recently Friedman proved Alon's conjecture for many families of d-regular graphs, namely that given any epsilon > 0 `most' graphs have their largest non-trivial eigenvalue at most 2 sqrt{d-1}+epsilon in absolute value; if the absolute value…

The least eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is the least eigenvalue of adjacency matrix of $G$. In this paper we determine the graphs which attain the minimum least eigenvalue among all complements of connected simple graphs with given…

Let $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ denote the inertia of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. Nordhaus-Gaddum bounds are known for inertia, except for an upper bound for $n^-$. We conjecture that for any graph \[ n^-(G) + n^-(\bar{G}) \le 1.5(n - 1), \] and…

For a non-bipartite finite Cayley graph, we show the non-trivial eigenvalues of its normalized adjacency matrix lie in the interval $$\left[-1+\frac{ch_{out}^2}{d},1-\frac{Ch_{out}^2}{d}\right],$$ for some absolute constant $c$ and $C$,…

This paper investigates the asymptotic nature of graph spectra when some edges of a graph are subdivided sufficiently many times. In the special case where all edges of a graph are subdivided, we find the exact limits of the $k$-th largest…

We consider graphs for which the non-backtracking matrix has defective eigenvalues, or graphs for which the matrix does not have a full set of eigenvectors. The existence of these values results in Jordan blocks of size greater than one,…

Twin vertices of a graph have the same open neighbourhood. If they are not adjacent, then they are called duplicates and contribute the eigenvalue zero to the adjacency matrix. Otherwise they are termed co-duplicates, when they contribute…

Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum average…

In this note, we present a structural description of certain connected cographs having $k \geq 2$ main signless Laplacian eigenvalues. This result allows us to characterize the cographs which are quasi-threshold graphs with two main…

We give lower bounds for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue on connected graphs. These bounds depend on the extrinsic diameter of the boundary and not on the diameter of the graph. We obtain a lower bound which is sharp when the cardinal…

Recently, Ferrulli-Laptev-Safronov (2016arXiv161205304F) obtained eigenvalue estimates for an operator associated to bilayer graphene in terms of $L^q$ norms of the (possibly non-selfadjoint) potential. They proved that for $1<q<4/3$ all…
