The odd wheel $W_{2k+1}$ is the graph formed by joining a vertex to a cycle of length $2k$. In this paper, we investigate the largest value of the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain…

A pancyclic graph is a graph that contains cycles of all possible lengths from three up to the number of vertices in the graph. In this paper, we establish some new sufficient conditions for a graph to be pancyclic in terms of the edge…

A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on $n$ vertices is at most $\lfloor…

We say a graph $G$ has a Hamiltonian path if it has a path containing all vertices of $G$. For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_2(G)$ denote the minimum degree sum of two nonadjacent vertices of $G$; restrictions on $\sigma_2(G)$ are known as…

It is proved that for any finite connected graph $G$, there exists an orientation of $G$ such that the spectral radius of the corresponding Hermitian adjacency matrix is smaller or equal to the spectral radius of the universal cover of $G$…

The generalized distance spectral radius of a connected graph $G$ is the spectral radius of the generalized distance matrix of $G$, defined by $$D_\alpha(G)=\alpha Tr(G)+(1-\alpha)D(G), \;\;0\le\alpha \le 1,$$ where $D(G)$ and $Tr(G)$…

The spectral radius of a uniform hypergraph $G$ is the the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of the adjacency tensor of $G$. For $k\ge 2$, among connected $k$-uniform hypergraphs with $m\ge 1$ edges, we show that the $k$-uniform loose path…

In a graph $G$, a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V(G)$ is said to be cyclable if there is a cycle containing the vertices in some order. $G$ is said to be $k$-cyclable if any subset of $k \geq 2$ vertices is cyclable. If any $k$…

We study regular graphs whose distance-$2$ graph or distance-$1$-or-$2$ graph is strongly regular. We provide a characterization of such graphs $\Gamma$ (among regular graphs with few distinct eigenvalues) in terms of the spectrum and the…

In 1952, Dirac proved that every 2-connected graph with minimum degree $\delta$ either is hamiltonian or contains a cycle of length at least $2\delta$. In 1986, Bauer and Schmeichel enlarged the bound $2\delta$ to $2\delta+2$ under…
