Let $G$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A connected and acyclic hypergraph is called a supertree. For $0\leq\alpha<1$, the $\alpha$-spectral radius of $G$ is the largest $H$-eigenvalue of $\alpha…

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…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$th eigenvalue, $k \geq 2$, of the ($p$-)Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions with respect to all domains in $\mathbb{R}^N$ of given volume $M$. When $k=2$, we prove that the second eigenvalue…
