Let $G $ be a graph on $p$ vertices with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and degree matrix $D(G)$. For each $\alpha \in [0, 1]$, the $A_\alpha$-matrix is defined as $A_\alpha (G) = \alpha D(G) + (1 - \alpha)A(G)$. In this paper, we compute the…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is a graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ and distinct elements $x,y\in G$ are adjacent if one is a power of the other, that is, $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x\in\langle y\rangle$ or…

It is proved that for $n \geq 6$, the number of perfect matchings in a simple connected cubic graph on $2n$ vertices is at most $4 f_{n-1}$, with $f_n$ being the $n$-th Fibonacci number. The unique extremal graph is characterized as well.…
