An important facet of the inverse eigenvalue problem for graphs is to determine the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a particular graph. We resolve this question for the join of a connected graph with a path. We then focus on…

Given a set $X$ and a sufficiently large integer $t$, let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-subsets of $X$. The Kruskal-Katona theorem states that if $|\mathcal{F}|\geq \binom{t}{k}$, then $|\partial_{k-1}\mathcal{F}|\geq\binom{t}{k-1}$. The…

In this note we give a new upper bound for the Laplacian eigenvalues of an unweighted graph. Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $d_{m}(G)$ and $\lambda_{m+1}(G)$ be the $m$-th smallest degree of $G$ and the $m+1$-th smallest…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…
