It is shown how a connected graph and a tree with partially prescribed spectrum can be constructed. These constructions are based on a recent result of Salez that every totally real algebraic integer is an eigenvalue of a tree. Our result…

Many natural and social systems develop complex networks, that are usually modelled as random graphs. The eigenvalue spectrum of these graphs provides information about their structural properties. While the semi-circle law is known to…

The second-largest eigenvalue and second-smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph are measures of its connectivity. These eigenvalues can be used to analyze the robustness, resilience, and synchronizability of networks, and are related to…

In this paper, we analyse spectral properties of Seidel matrix (denoted by $S$) of connected threshold graphs. We compute the characteristic polynomial and determinant of Seidel matrix of threshold graphs. We derive formulas for the…

A new class of distances for graph vertices is proposed. This class contains parametric families of distances which reduce to the shortest-path, weighted shortest-path, and the resistance distances at the limiting values of the family…

Distance-hereditary graphs form an important class of graphs, from the theoretical point of view, due to the fact that they are the totally decomposable graphs for the split-decomposition. The previous best enumerative result for these…

We examine the capacity of the complementarity spectrum to distinguish non-isomorphic digraphs. We focus on the seven families with exactly three complementarity eigenvalues. Our findings reveal that in some, but not all families, any two…

An $n$-vertex graph is degree 3-critical if it has $2n - 2$ edges and no proper induced subgraph with minimum degree at least 3. In 1988, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Gy\'arf\'as, and Schelp asked whether one can always find cycles of all short…

The classical problem of characterizing the graphs with bounded eigenvalues may date back to the work of Smith in 1970. Especially, the research on graphs with smallest eigenvalues not less than $-2$ has attracted widespread attention.…

In this note, we give answers to three questions from the paper [A. Das, Triameter of graphs, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory, 41 (2021), 601--616]. Namely, we obtain a tight lower bound for the triameter of trees in terms of order and number…

We examine the adjacency matrices of three-regular graphs representing one-face maps. Numerical studies reveal that the limiting eigenvalue statistics of these matrices are the same as those of much larger, and more widely studied classes…

The graphs with all equal negative or positive eigenvalues are special kind in the spectral graph theory. In this article, several iterated line graphs $\mathcal{L}^k(G)$ with all equal negative eigenvalues $-2$ are characterized for $k\ge…

Let D be the distance matrix of a connected graph G and let nn(G), np(G) be the number of strictly negative and positive eigenvalues of D respectively. It was remarked in [1] that it is not known whether there is a graph for which np(G) >…

A graph is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices by integers from $1$ up to the order of the graph in such a way that the sum of the labels of all the neighbors of a vertex is independent of a given vertex. We…

We derive eigenvalue bounds for the $t$-distance chromatic number of a graph, which is a generalization of the classical chromatic number. We apply such bounds to hypercube graphs, providing alternative spectral proofs for results by Ngo,…
