We prove that for every integer $d \ge 3$, the median eigenvalues of any graph of maximum degree $d$ are bounded above by $\sqrt{d-1}$. We also prove that, in three separate cases, the median eigenvalues of a graph of maximum degree $d$ are…

In this paper, we define and obtain several properties of the (adjacency) energy of a hypergraph. In particular, bounds for this energy are obtained as functions of structural and spectral parameters, such as Zagreb index and spectral…

Let $P(G)=(P_{0}(G),P_{1}(G),\cdots, P_{\rho}(G))$ be the path sequence of a graph $G$, where $P_{i}(G)$ is the number of paths with length $i$ and $\rho$ is the length of a longest path in $G$. In this paper, we first give the path…

Many real world networks (graphs) are observed to be 'small worlds', i.e., the average path length among nodes is small. On the other hand, it is somewhat unclear what other average path length values networks can produce. In particular, it…

Let $D(G)$ denote the distance matrix of a connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The distance spectral gap of a graph $G$ is defined as $\delta_{D^G} = \rho_1 - \rho_2$, where $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ represent the largest and second largest…

Let G be a graph with n vertices and mu(G) be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G. We study how large mu(G) can be when G does not contain cycles and paths of specified order. In particular, we determine the maximum spectral…

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph with vertex set $V(G)=\{v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$. The Sombor matrix $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined so that its $(i,j)$-entry is equal to $\sqrt{d_i^2+d_j^2}$ if the…

For a simple graph $G$, the energy $E(G)$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of its adjacent matrix. For $\Delta\geq 3$ and $t\geq 3$, denote by $T_a(\Delta,t)$ (or simply $T_a$) the tree formed from a path…
