We prove that the class of chordal graphs is easily testable in the following sense. There exists a constant $c>0$ such that, if adding/removing at most $\epsilon n^2$ edges to a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices does not make it chordal, then a…

Typically, graph structures are represented by one of three different matrices: the adjacency matrix, the unnormalised and the normalised graph Laplacian matrices. The spectral (eigenvalue) properties of these different matrices are…

We prove an upper bound for the independence number of a graph in terms of the largest Laplacian eigenvalue, and of a certain induced subgraph. Our bound is a refinement of a well-known Hoffman-type bound.

We analyze graphs attaining the extreme values of various spectral indices in the class of all simple connected graphs, as well as in the class of graphs which are not complete multipartite graphs. We also present results on density of…

This article deals with the spectra of Laplacians of weighted graphs. In this context, two objects are of fundamental importance for the dynamics of complex networks: the second eigenvalue of such a spectrum (called algebraic connectivity)…

We establish a connection between the stability of an eigenvalue under a magnetic perturbation and the number of zeros of the corresponding eigenfunction. Namely, we consider an eigenfunction of discrete Laplacian on a graph and count the…

Chordal graphs are important in algorithmic graph theory. Chordal digraphs are a digraph analogue of chordal graphs and have been a subject of active studies recently. Unlike chordal graphs, chordal digraphs lack many structural properties…

We show that, in the graph spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian on trees, the eigenvalue 1 and eigenvalues near 1 are strongly related to minimum vertex covers. In particular, for the eigenvalue 1, its multiplicity is related to the…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…

We show that for threshold graphs, the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix interlace with the degrees of the vertices. As an application, we show that the signless Brouwer conjecture holds for threshold graphs, i.e., for threshold…

Let $G$ be a connected undirected graph with $n$, $n\ge 3$, vertices and $m$ edges. Denote by $\rho_1 \ge \rho_2 \ge \cdots > \rho_n =0$ the normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. Upper and lower bounds of $\rho_i$, $i=1,2,\ldots , n-1$,…

We address the Laplacian on a perturbed periodic graph which might not be a periodic graph. We present a class of perturbed graphs for which the essential spectra of the Laplacians are stable even when the graphs are perturbed by adding and…

Let $\mathcal{G}(n,k)$ be the set of connected graphs of order $n$ with one of the Laplacian eigenvalue having multiplicity $k$. It is well known that $\mathcal{G}(n,n-1)=\{K_n\}$. The graphs of $\mathcal{G}(n,n-2)$ are determined by Das,…

As a nonlinear extension of the graph Laplacian, the graph $p$-Laplacian has various applications in many fields. Due to the nonlinearity, it is very difficult to compute the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of graph $p$-Laplacian. In this…

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…
