We prove new properties of the non-backtracking graph and the non-backtracking Laplacian for graphs. In particular, among other results, we prove that two simple graphs are isomorphic if and only if their corresponding non-backtracking…
We study a model of random graphs where each edge is drawn independently (but not necessarily identically distributed) from the others, and then assigned a random weight. When the mean degree of such a graph is low, it is known that the…
In this paper, we show that a uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{G}$ is connected if and only if one of its inverse Perron values is larger than $0$. We give some bounds on the bipartition width, isoperimetric number and eccentricities of…
The smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph has been extensively studied and shown to have many connections to properties of the graph. We here study a generalization of this eigenvalue, denoted $\lambda(G,…
Threshold graphs are generated from one node by repeatedly adding a node that links to all existing nodes or adding a node without links. In the weighted threshold graph, we add a new node in step $i$, which is linked to all existing nodes…
We investigate the distribution of eigenvalues of weighted adjacency matrices from a specific ensemble of random graphs. We distribute $N$ vertices across a fixed number $\kappa$ of components, with asymptotically $\alpha_j \dot N$ vertices…
Let $A$ be a reciprocal matrix of order $n$ and $w$ be its Perron eigenvector. To infer the efficiency of $w$ for $A$, based on the principle of Pareto optimal decisions, we study the strong connectivity of a certain digraph associated with…
We consider a preferential attachment random graph with self-reinforcement. Each time a new vertex comes in, it attaches itself to an old vertex with a probability that is proportional to the sum of the degrees of that old vertex at all…
The minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, taken over all real symmetric matrices compatible with a given graph $G$, is denoted by $q(G)$. Using other parameters related to $G$, bounds for $q(G)$ are proven and then applied to deduce…
We extend the notion of nonbacktracking walks from unweighted graphs to graphs whose edges have a nonnegative weight. Here the weight associated with a walk is taken to be the product over the weights along the individual edges. We give two…
We apply eigenvalue interlacing techniques for obtaining lower and upper bounds for the sums of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs, and characterize equality. This leads to generalizations of, and variations on theorems by Grone, and Grone and…
The spectrum of the nonbacktracking matrix associated to a network is known to contain fundamental information regarding percolation properties of the network. Indeed, the inverse of its leading eigenvalue is often used as an estimate for…
The jump graph $J(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ has vertices which represent edges in $G$ where two vertices in $J(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ do not share an endpoint. In this paper, we examine sequences of…
A cograph is a simple graph which contains no path on 4 vertices as an induced subgraph. We consider the eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of cographs and prove that a graph $G$ is a cograph if and only if no induced subgraph of $G$ has an…
Loss-induced transmission in waveguides, and reversed pump dependence in lasers, are two prominent examples of counter-intuitive effects in non-Hermitian systems with patterned gain and loss. By analyzing the eigenvalue dynamics of complex…
For matrices with all nonnegative entries, the Perron-Frobenius theorem guarantees the existence of an eigenvector with all nonnegative components. We show that the existence of such an eigenvector is also guaranteed for a very different…
Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A classical upper bound for the domination number of a graph $G$ having no isolated vertices is $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$. However, for several families of graphs, we have $\gamma(G) \le…
