For a graph $G$, let $t(G)$ denote the maximum number of vertices in an induced subgraph of $G$ that is a tree. Further, for a vertex $v\in V(G)$, let $t^v(G)$ denote the maximum number of vertices in an induced subgraph of $G$ that is a…

Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…

Let $G$ be a connected tree on $n$ vertices and let $L = D-A$ denote the Laplacian matrix on $G$. The second-smallest eigenvalue $\lambda_{2}(G) > 0$, also known as the algebraic connectivity, as well as the associated eigenvector $\phi_2$…

Let $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ be the adjacency and degree matrices of a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, respectively. The \emph{$A_\alpha$-spectral radius} of $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of $A_\alpha (G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$ for a real…

The spectral extrema problems on forbidding minors have aroused wide attention. Very recently, Zhai and Lin [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 157 (2022) 184--215] determined the extremal graph with maximum adjacency spectral radius among all…

Completely independent spanning trees in a graph $G$ are spanning trees of $G$ such that for any two distinct vertices of $G$, the paths between them in the spanning trees are pairwise edge-disjoint and internally vertex-disjoint. In this…

Consider a truncated circular unitary matrix which is a $p_n$ by $p_n$ submatrix of an $n$ by $n$ circular unitary matrix by deleting the last $n-p_n$ columns and rows. Jiang and Qi (2017) proved that the maximum absolute value of the…

The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum distance from $v$ to any other vertex. The vertices whose eccentricity are equal to the diameter (the maximum eccentricity) of $G$ are called peripheral vertices. In trees the…

Let $spex(n,H_{minor})$ denote the maximum spectral radius of $n$-vertex $H$-minor free graphs. The problem on determining this extremal value can be dated back to the early 1990s. Up to now, it has been solved for $n$ sufficiently large…

A tree is said to be starlike if exactly one vertex has degree greater than two. In this paper, we will study the spectral properties of $S(n,k \cdot 1)$, that is, the starlike tree with $k$ branches of length 1 and one branch of length…

Let $G$ be a digraph and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix with outdegrees of vertices of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in[0,1]$, Liu et al. \cite{LWCL} defined the matrix $A_\alpha(G)$ as…

The reciprocal distance Laplacian matrix of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $RD^L(G)=RT(G)-RD(G)$, where $RT(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of reciprocal distance degrees and $RD(G)$ is the Harary matrix. Since $RD^L(G)$ is a real symmetric…

We say that a graph $F$ can be embedded into a graph $G$ if $G$ contains an isomorphic copy of $F$ as a subgraph. Guo and Volkmann \cite{GV} conjectured that if $G$ is a connected graph with at least $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least…

A graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix consist entirely of integers. Recently, Csikvari proved the existence of integral trees of any even diameter. In the odd case, integral trees have been constructed with…

We study the degree landscape of the partition graph $G_n$, whose vertices are the integer partitions of $n$ and whose edges correspond to elementary transfers of one unit between parts, followed by reordering. Using the previously…

We study that over some types of trees with a given number of vertices, which trees minimize or maximize the total number of subtrees. Trees minimizing (resp. maximizing) the total number of subtrees usually maximize (resp. minimize) the…

The eccentricity matrix $\epsilon(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is obtained by retaining the maximum distance from each row and column of the distance matrix of $G$ and the other entries are assigned with 0. In this paper, we discuss the…
