The hyper-star graph $HS(n,k)$ is defined as follows : its vertex-set is the set of $ {0,1} $-sequences of length $n$ with weight $k$, where the weight of a sequence $v$ is the number of $1^,s$ in $v$, and two vertices are adjacent if and…

The integral circulant graph $ICG_n (D)$ has the vertex set $Z_n = \{0, 1, 2, \ldots, n - 1\}$, where vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if $\gcd(a-b,n)\in D$, with $D \subseteq \{d : d \mid n,\ 1\leq d<n\}$. In this paper, we establish that…

For two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ the Ramsey number $R(G_1,G_2)$ is the smallest integer $N$, such that for any graph on $N$ vertices either $G$ contains $G_1$ or $\overline{G}$ contains $G_2$. Let $S_n$ be a star of order $n$ and $W_m$ be a…

The $n$-th Fiedler value of a class of graphs $\mathcal C$ is the maximum second eigenvalue $\lambda_2(G)$ of a graph $G\in\mathcal C$ with $n$ vertices. In this note we relate this value to shallow minors and, as a corollary, we determine…

In this paper, we show that a connected graph with smallest eigenvalue at least -3 and large enough minimal degree is 2-integrable. This result generalizes a 1977 result of Hoffman for connected graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least -2.

For a graph $G$, we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, $S(G)$, where for any $A\in S(G)$, the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of $A$ are governed by the adjacency structure of $G$. Let $q(G)$ be the minimum number…
