We completely characterize the conditions under which a complex unitary number is an eigenvalue of the non-backtracking matrix of an undirected graph. Further, we provide a closed formula to compute its geometric multiplicity and describe…

In his survey "Beyond graph energy: Norms of graphs and matrices" (2016), Nikiforov proposed two problems concerning characterizing the graphs that attain equality in a lower bound and in a upper bound for the energy of a graph,…

Much effort has been spent on characterizing the spectrum of the non-backtracking matrix of certain classes of graphs, with special emphasis on the leading eigenvalue or the second eigenvector. Much less attention has been paid to the…

A graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix consist entirely of integers. We prove that for a given nullity more than 1, there are only finitely many integral trees. It is also shown that integral trees with…

A partial automorphism of a finite graph is an isomorphism between its vertex induced subgraphs. The set of all partial automorphisms of a given finite graph forms an inverse monoid under composition (of partial maps). We describe the…

The Helmholtzian matrix of a graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$ is a graph-theoretic analogue of the vector Laplacian (or Helmholtz operator) [S. Li, L. Lu, J.F. Wang, A graph discretization of vector Laplacian, 379 (2026) 446--460]. Motivated by the…

We present sharp inequalities relating the number of vertices, edges, and triangles of a graph to the smallest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix and the largest eigenvalue of its Laplacian.

Spectral radius of a graph $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of adjacency matrix of $G$. The least eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is the least eigenvalue of adjacency matrix of $G$. In this paper we determine the graphs which attain respectively the…

If a graph has a non-singular adjacency matrix, then one may use the inverse matrix to define a (labeled) graph that may be considered to be the inverse graph to the original one. It has been known that an adjacency matrix of a tree is…

The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalues zero in its spectrum. A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges. In this paper, we obtain the coefficient theorem of the characteristic polynomial of a…

Let $(X,E_X)$ and $(V,E_V)$ be finite connected graphs without loops. We assume that $V$ has two distinguished vertices $a,b$ and an automorphism $\gamma$ which exchanges $a$ and~$b$. The $V$-edge substitution of $X$ is the graph $X[V]$…

We consider graphs for which the non-backtracking matrix has defective eigenvalues, or graphs for which the matrix does not have a full set of eigenvectors. The existence of these values results in Jordan blocks of size greater than one,…
