Given a simple graph $G$, its $A_\alpha$ matrix is a convex combination with parameter $\alpha\in [0,1]$ of its adjacency matrix and its degree diagonal matrices. Here we compare two lower bounds presented in [J. D. G. Silva Jr., C. S.…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In [Linear Algebra Appl. 435 (2011) 2570-2584], Lima et al. posed the following conjecture on the least eigenvalue $q_n(G)$ of the signless Laplacian of $G$: $\displaystyle…

We give a complete characterisation of the cubic graphs with no eigenvalues in the interval $(-2,0)$. There is one thin infinite family consisting of a single graph on $6n$ vertices for each $n \geqslant 2$, and five ``sporadic'' graphs,…

We characterise graphs that have three distinct eigenvalues and coherent ranks 8 and 9, linking the former to certain symmetric 2-designs and the latter to specific quasi-symmetric 2-designs. This characterisation leads to the discovery of…

A signed graph has edge weights drawn from the set $\{+1,-1\}$, and is termed sign-balanced if it is equivalent to an unsigned graph under the operation of sign switching; otherwise it is called sign-unbalanced. A nut graph has a one…

A basic fact in spectral graph theory is that the number of connected components in an undirected graph is equal to the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero in the Laplacian matrix of the graph. In particular, the graph is disconnected if…

The total graph is built by joining the graph to its line graph by means of the incidences. We introduce a similar construction for signed graphs. Under two similar definitions of the line signed graph, we define the corresponding total…

An $n\times n$ matrix is said to have a self-interlacing spectrum if its eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k=1,\ldots,n$, are distributed as follows $$ \lambda_1>-\lambda_2>\lambda_3>\cdots>(-1)^{n-1}\lambda_n>0. $$ A method for constructing sign…

A signed graph $\Sigma$ is a pair $(G,\sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph in which each edge is assigned $+1$ or $-1$ by the signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow\{-1,+1\}$. In this paper, we extend the extensively applied…

In a graph $G$, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a double dominating set of $G$ if $D$ dominates every vertex of $G$ at least twice. A signed graph $\Sigma = (G,\sigma)$ is a graph $G$ together…

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…

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…

A weighted graph $G^{\omega}$ consists of a simple graph $G$ with a weight $\omega$, which is a mapping,$\omega$: $E(G)\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$. A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled with $-1$ or $1$. In this paper,…

A recent result of one of the authors says that every connected subcubic bipartite graph that is not isomorphic to the Heawood graph has at least one, and in fact a positive proportion of its eigenvalues in the interval [-1,1]. We construct…

The $k$-th exact-distance graph, of a graph $G$ has $V(G)$ as its vertex set, and $xy$ as an edge if and only if the distance between $x$ and $y$ is (exactly) $k$ in $G$. We consider two possible extensions of this notion for signed graphs.…
