Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$. The energy of $G$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of $A(G)$, which was introduced by Gutman in 1970s. Since graph energy has important chemical…

Given a graph $G$, let $G^\sigma$ be an oriented graph of $G$ with the orientation $\sigma$ and skew-adjacency matrix $S(G^\sigma)$. Then the spectrum of $S(G^\sigma)$ consisting of all the eigenvalues of $S(G^\sigma)$ is called the…

In this paper, we focus on the index ( largest eigenvalue) of the adjacency matrix of connected signed graphs. We give some general results on the index when the corresponding signed graph is perturbed. As applications, we determine the…

For $0\le \alpha\le 1$, Nikiforov proposed to study the spectral properties of the family of matrices $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$ of a graph $G$, where $D(G)$ is the degree diagonal matrix and $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix.…

In a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ let $\gamma$ denote the largest fraction of edges that can be $\Delta$ edge-coloured. Albertson and Haas showed that $\gamma \geq 13/15$ when $G$ is cubic . We show here that this result can be…

We establish precise right-tail small deviation estimates for the largest eigenvalue of real symmetric and complex Hermitian matrices whose entries are independent random variables with uniformly bounded moments. The proof relies on a Green…

We study the complexity of approximating the independent set polynomial $Z_G(\lambda)$ of a graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ when the activity $\lambda$ is a complex number. This problem is already well understood when $\lambda$ is…

A mixed tree is a tree in which both directed arcs and undirected edges may exist. Let $T$ be a mixed tree with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs, where an undirected edge is counted twice as arcs. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $T$. For…

In this note, we use eigenvalue interlacing to derive an inequality between the maximum degree of a graph and its maximum and minimum adjacency eigenvalues. The case of equality is fully characterized.

The main result of this paper states that in a rooted product of a path with rooted graphs which are disposed in a somewhat mirror-symmetric fashion, there are distinct eigenvalues supported in the end vertices of the path which are too…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ be its adjacency matrix. A graph $G$ is invertible if its adjacency matrix $A$ is invertible and the inverse of $G$ is a weighted graph with adjacency matrix $A^{-1}$. A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ is a weighted…

An orientation of a graph $G$ is {\it in-out-proper} if any two adjacent vertices have different in-out-degrees, where the in-out-degree of each vertex is equal to the in-degree minus the out-degree of that vertex. The {\it in-out-proper…

The spread of a graph is the difference between the largest and most negative eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. We show that for sufficiently large $n$, the $n$-vertex outerplanar graph with maximum spread is a vertex joined to a linear…

For a given graph $G$, let $f:V(G)\to \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ be a bijective mapping. For a given edge $uv \in E(G)$, $\sigma(uv)=+$, if $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ have the same parity and $\sigma(uv)=-$, if $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ have opposite parity. The…

The traditional adjacency matrix of a mixed graph is not symmetric in general, hence its eigenvalues may be not real. To overcome this obstacle, several authors have recently defined and studied various Hermitian adjacency matrices of…

The number $\sigma_k(G)$ of induced subgraphs with size $k$ of a graph $G$ was introduced recently as the number of $k$-nearly independent vertex subsets of $G$. Results highlighting similarity and difference in the behaviours of $\sigma_1$…
