Let $H$ be a graph and $t\geq s\geq 2$ be integers. We prove that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with no copy of $H$ and no induced copy of $K_{s,t}$, then $\lambda(G) = O\left(n^{1-1/s}\right)$ where $\lambda(G)$ is the spectral radius of…

The $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of a graph $G$ is the convex linear combination of the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees $D(G)$, i.e., $A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G) + (1 - \alpha)A(G)$, where $0\leq\alpha \leq1$. The…
