The spectral Tur\'an number $\spex(n, F)$ denotes the maximum spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ of order $n$. This paper determines $\spex\left(n, C_{2k+1}^{\square}\right)$ for all sufficiently large $n$, establishing the…

We study the eigenvalues of the unique connected anti-regular graph $A_n$. Using Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we obtain a trigonometric equation whose roots are the eigenvalues and perform elementary analysis to obtain an…

Given a graph $G$, the adjacency matrix and degree diagonal matrix of $G$ are denoted by $A(G)$ and $D(G)$, respectively. In 2017, Nikiforov \cite{0007} proposed the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix: $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G),$ where…

A graph $G$ is $F$-free if $G$ does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{G}(m, F)$ denote the family of $F$-free graphs with $m$ edges and without isolated vertices. Let $S_{n,k}$ denote the graph obtained by joining every vertex of…

Much of extremal graph theory has concentrated either on finding very small subgraphs of a large graph (Turan-type results) or on finding spanning subgraphs (Dirac-type results). In this paper we are interested in finding intermediate-sized…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$, and $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ its adjacency and degree diagonal matrices, respectively. For a parameter $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov~(2017) introduced the convex combination $A_{\alpha}(G) = \alpha D(G) +…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with no even cycle, called an odd-cycle graph. Cavers et al. [Cavers et al. Skew-adjacency matrices of graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 436(2012), 4512--1829] showed that the spectral radius of $G^\sigma$ is the same…

A graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Brualdi-Hoffman-Tur\'{a}n type problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph $G$ with give size $m$. The $F_k$ is the graph consisting of…

Let $\mc{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph is {\em $\mc{F}$-free} if it contains no copy of a graph in $\mc{F}$ as a subgraph. A cornerstone of extremal graph theory is the study of the {\em Tur\'an number} $ex(n,\mc{F})$, the maximum…

The $kK_{r+1}$ is the union of $k$ disjoint copies of $(r+1)$-clique. Moon [Canad. J. Math. 20 (1968) 95--102] and Simonovits [Theory of Graphs (Proc. colloq., Tihany, 1996)] independently showed that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then…
