The spectrum of a graph is closely related to many graph parameters. In particular, the spectral gap of a regular graph which is the difference between its valency and second eigenvalue, is widely seen an algebraic measure of connectivity…

The second-largest eigenvalue and second-smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph are measures of its connectivity. These eigenvalues can be used to analyze the robustness, resilience, and synchronizability of networks, and are related to…
We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of…
The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the maximum possible order of a graph with a given (maximum) degree and diameter. It is known that graphs attaining the maximum possible value (the Moore bound) are extremely rare, but much activity…
In this note we elaborate on some notions of surface area for discrete graphs which are closely related to the inverse degree. These notions then naturally lead to associated connectivity measures of graphs and to the definition of a…
From Alon and Boppana, and Serre, we know that for any given integer $k\geq 3$ and real number $\lambda<2\sqrt{k-1}$, there are finitely many $k$-regular graphs whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\lambda$. In this paper, we…

Let $b(k,\ell,\theta)$ be the maximum number of vertices of valency $k$ in a $(k,\ell)$-semiregular bipartite graph with second largest eigenvalue $\theta$. We obtain an upper bound for $b(k,\ell,\theta)$ for $0 < \theta < \sqrt{k-1} +…
We give inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of a graph, and its minimum and maximum degrees. The results are applied to derive new conditions for quasi-randomness of graphs.
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…
Let $b(k,\theta)$ be the maximum order of a connected bipartite $k$-regular graph whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\theta$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for $b(k,\theta)$ for any $0\leq \theta< 2\sqrt{k-1}$. Our…
For a given complex square matrix $A$ with constant row sum, we establish two new eigenvalue inclusion sets. Using these bounds, first we derive bounds for the second largest and smallest eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of $k$-regular…
We improve recent results relating graph eigenvalues to other graph parameters like girth, domination number, and minimum degree.
Jiang, Tidor, Yao, Zhang, and Zhao recently showed that connected bounded degree graphs have sublinear second eigenvalue multiplicity (always referring to the adjacency matrix). This result was a key step in the solution to the problem of…
Almost Moore mixed graphs\/} appear in the context of the degree/diameter problem as a class of extremal mixed graphs, in the sense that their order is one unit less than the Moore bound for such graphs. The problem of their existence has…
