The parameter $\sigma(G)$ of a graph $G$ stands for the number of Laplacian eigenvalues greater than or equal to the average degree of $G$. In this work, we address the problem of characterizing those graphs $G$ having $\sigma(G)=1$. Our…

We consider higher-dimensional generalizations of the normalized Laplacian and the adjacency matrix of graphs and study their eigenvalues for the Linial-Meshulam model $X^k(n,p)$ of random $k$-dimensional simplicial complexes on $n$…

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…

For a graph $G$, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set consisting of Hermitian matrices whose graph is $G$. Denoted by $m_B(G,\lambda)$ the multiplicity of an eigenvalue $\lambda$ of $B(G)\in \mathcal{S}(G)$, we show that $m_B(G,\lambda)\le…

For a graph $G$, let $L(G)$ and $Q(G)$ be the Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrices of $G$, respectively, and $\tau(G)$ be the number of spanning trees of $G$. We prove that if $G$ has an odd number of vertices and $\tau(G)$ is not…

Upper and lower estimates of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a metric graph have been established in 2017 by G. Berkolaiko, J.B. Kennedy, P. Kurasov and D. Mugnolo. Both these estimates can be achieved at the same time only by highly…

A signless Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a main signless Laplacian eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. In this paper, we first give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a…

The minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, taken over all real symmetric matrices compatible with a given graph $G$, is denoted by $q(G)$. Using other parameters related to $G$, bounds for $q(G)$ are proven and then applied to deduce…

We prove that the diameter of any unweighted connected graph G is O(k log n/lambda_k), for any k>= 2. Here, lambda_k is the k smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian of G. This solves a problem posed by Gil Kalai.
