For a graph $G$ of order $n$, the spectral sum of $G$ is defined to be the sum $\lambda_1(G) + \lambda_2(G)$, where $\lambda_1(G)$ (resp. $\lambda_2(G)$) is the largest (resp. second largest) adjacency eigenvalue of $G$. Ebrahimi, Mohar,…

Let $G$ be an irregular graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ and diameter $D$. We show that \Delta-\lambda_1>\frac{1}{nD} where $\lambda_1$ is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. We also study the effect of…

Let $G$ be a strongly connected digraph with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs. For any real $\alpha\in[0,1]$, the $A_\alpha$ matrix of a digraph $G$ is defined as $$A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G),$$ where $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a $t$-regular hypergraph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Let $M$ be the $m \times n$ incidence matrix of $\mathcal{H}$ and let us denote $\lambda =\max_{v \perp \overline{1},\|v\| = 1}\|Mv\|$. We show that the…

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…

Let $A$ be a $n\times n$ complex Hermitian matrix and let $\lambda(A)=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n)\in \mathbb{R}^n$ denote the eigenvalues of $A$, counting multiplicities and arranged in non-increasing order. Motivated by problems arising…

We give an efficient algorithm that transforms any bounded degree expander graph into another that achieves almost optimal (namely, near-quadratic, $d \leq 1/\lambda^{2+o(1)}$) trade-off between (any desired) spectral expansion $\lambda$…

We prove that any extended formulation that approximates the matching polytope on $n$-vertex graphs up to a factor of $(1+\varepsilon)$ for any $\frac2n \le \varepsilon \le 1$ must have at least $\binom{n}{{\alpha}/{\varepsilon}}$ defining…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN1} defined the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ as $$A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha…

We compute an asymptotic expansion in $1/c$ of the limit in $n$ of the empirical spectral measure of the adjacency matrix of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph with $n$ vertices and parameter $c/n$. We present two different methods, one of…

We show sublinear-time algorithms for Max Cut and Max E2Lin$(q)$ on expanders in the adjacency list model that distinguishes instances with the optimal value more than $1-\varepsilon$ from those with the optimal value less than $1-\rho$ for…

We describe a new approximation algorithm for Max Cut. Our algorithm runs in $\tilde O(n^2)$ time, where $n$ is the number of vertices, and achieves an approximation ratio of $.531$. On instances in which an optimal solution cuts a…

Consider $n \times n$ matrix $A$ and a set $\Lambda$ consisting of $k \le n$ prescribed complex numbers. Lippert (2010) in a challenging article, studied geometrically the spectral norm distance from $A$ to the set $\Lambda$ and constructed…

Unimodular networks are a generalization of finite graphs in a stochastic sense. We prove a lower bound to the spectral radius of the adjacency operator and of the Markov operator of an unimodular network in terms of its average degree.…

We initiate a systematic study of spectral theory for bounded-degree Borel pmp graphs. Specifically, we study spectral properties of the associated adjacency and Laplacian operators. We start with proving a spectral characterization of…

The spectral excess theorem states that, in a regular graph G, the average excess, which is the mean of the numbers of vertices at maximum distance from a vertex, is bounded above by the spectral excess (a number that is computed by using…

We prove the following Alon-Boppana type theorem for general (not necessarily regular) weighted graphs: if $G$ is an $n$-node weighted undirected graph of average combinatorial degree $d$ (that is, $G$ has $dn/2$ edges) and girth $g>…

We establish an Expander Mixing Lemma for directed graphs in terms of the eigenvalues of an associated asymmetric transition probability matrix, extending the classical spectral inequality to the asymmetric setting. As an application, we…

We study sublinear time algorithms for estimating the size of maximum matching in graphs. Our main result is a $(\frac{1}{2}+\Omega(1))$-approximation algorithm which can be implemented in $O(n^{1+\epsilon})$ time, where $n$ is the number…

In this paper, we describe some recent spectral Moore theorems related to determining the maximum order of a connected graph of given valency and second eigenvalue. We show how these spectral Moore theorems have applications in Alon-Boppana…
