In this short note, we establish an upper bound for the conjugate radius of an open $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold under a scalar curvature lower bound and a bottom-of-spectrum upper bound. As a consequence, if $\lambda_{0}(M)=0$ and…

We resolve a problem posed by Guiduli (1996) on the spectral radius of graphs satisfying the Hereditarily Bounded Property $P_{t,r}$, which requires that every subgraph $H$ with $|V(H)| \geq t$ satisfies $|E(H)| \leq t|V(H)| + r$. For an…

Let $G$ be a strongly connected digraph with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs. For any real $\alpha\in[0,1]$, the $A_\alpha$ matrix of a digraph $G$ is defined as $$A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G),$$ where $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of…

We examine a special case of an approximation of the joint spectral radius given by Blondel and Nesterov, which we call the outer spectral radius. The outer spectral radius is given by the square root of the ordinary spectral radius of the…

We provide estimates for the spectral radii of an $n\times n$ sparse non-Hermitian random matrix $Z$ with general entries in the regime $p=d/n$ where $0<d<1$ is fixed. Utilizing the structural results of ({\L}uczak, '90), we show that the…
