In this article we give bounds for the eigenvalues of a matrix, which can be seen as a common generalization of meet and join matrices and therefore also as a generalization of both GCD and LCM matrices. Although there are some results…

The chromatic threshold of a graph $H$ is the minimum-degree density above which every $H$-free graph has bounded chromatic number. We study a two-color Ramsey analogue: for graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, we ask for the minimum-degree density…

We develop an improved bound for the chromatic number of graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ under the assumption that the number of edges spanning any neighbourhood is at most $(1-\sigma)\binom{\Delta}{2}$ for some fixed $0<\sigma<1$. The…

We prove that every subcubic triangle-free graph has fractional chromatic number at most 14/5, thus confirming a conjecture of Heckman and Thomas [A new proof of the independence ratio of triangle-free cubic graphs. Discrete Math. 233…

Let $K_n$ denote the set of all nonsingular $n\times n$ lower triangular $(0,1)$-matrices. Hong and Loewy (2004) introduced the number sequence $$ c_n=\min\{\lambda\mid\lambda~\text{is an eigenvalue of}~XX^{\rm T},~X\in K_n\},\quad…

For bound states of atoms and molecules of $N$ electrons we consider the corresponding $K$-particle reduced density matrices, $\Gamma^{(K)}$, for $1 \le K \le N-1$. Previously, eigenvalue bounds were obtained in the case of $K=1$ and…

We investigate the effect of the well-known Mycielski construction on the Shannon capacity of graphs and on one of its most prominent upper bounds, the (complementary) Lov\'asz theta number. We prove that if the Shannon capacity of a graph,…
