We study the energy per vertex in regular graphs. For every k, we give an upper bound for the energy per vertex of a k-regular graph, and show that a graph attains the upper bound if and only if it is the disjoint union of incidence graphs…

In this paper, extending a result of Brooks et.al. [arXiv:2403.04110], we show that if an outerplanar graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $2$ has positive Lin-Lu-Yau curvature on every vertex pair, then $G$ has at most $10$ vertices, and…

We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…

We investigate the statistical behavior of the eigenvalues and diameter of random Cayley graphs of ${\rm SL}_2[\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}]$ %and the Symmetric group $S_n$ as the prime number $p$ goes to infinity. We prove a density theorem for…

Two permutations of the vertices of a graph $G$ are called $G$-different if there exists an index $i$ such that $i$-th entry of the two permutations form an edge in $G$. We bound or determine the maximum size of a family of pairwise…

For an $n \times n$ matrix $A$, let $q(A)$ be the number of distinct eigenvalues of $A$. If $G$ is a connected graph on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices $A=[a_{ij}]$ such that for…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…

We determine the sharp threshold for the containment of all $n$-vertex trees of bounded degree in random geometric graphs with $n$ vertices. This provides a geometric counterpart of Montgomery's threshold result for binomial random graphs,…

We obtain several new upper bounds of the odd graceful chromatic number of a graph $G$, which must be bipartite. Some of our bounds depend only on the number of the vertices of $G$ or the chromatic number of some graphs related to the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $S$ be an inverse-closed subset of $G$ not containing the identity. The Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ has vertex set $G$, where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $x^{-1}y \in S$.…

It is shown that there are groups $\Gamma$ with finite generating sets $S$ such that the adjacency operator of the Cayley graph ${\rm Cay}(\Gamma,S)$ is a disjoint union of $N$ intervals, for arbitrarily large integers $N$.

Let $G$ be a multipartite graph with partition $V_1, V_2,\ldots, V_k$ of $V(G)$. Let $d_{i,j}$ denote the edge density of the pair $(V_i, V_j)$. An independent transversal is an independent set of $G$ with exactly one vertex in each $V_i$.…

Let $\mathcal A$ be the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices, and we denote its eigenvalues by $\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2\cdots \geq \lambda_{N}$. For $N^{2/3}\ll d\leq N/2$, we prove optimal rigidity estimates of…
