We study various spectral properties of the Seidel matrix $S$ of a connected chain graph. We prove that $-1$ is always an eigenvalue of $S$ and all other eigenvalues of $S$ can have multiplicity at most two. We obtain the multiplicity of…

Graph burning is a natural discrete graph algorithm inspired by the spread of social contagion. Despite its simplicity, some open problems remain steadfastly unsolved, notably the burning number conjecture, which says that every connected…

We give inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of a graph, and its minimum and maximum degrees. The results are applied to derive new conditions for quasi-randomness of graphs.

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The eccentricity of a path $P$, denoted by ecc$_G(P)$, is the maximum distance from $P$ to any vertex in $G$. In the \textsc{Central path} (CP) problem our aim is to find a path of minimum eccentricity. This…

We consider the problem on finding the edge weights that maximize the algebraic connectivity of a graph (smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian), subject to the condition that the total effective resistance is kept constant. We…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $g, f$ be nonnegative integer-valued functions defined on $V(G)$ such that $g(v) \le f(v)$ and $g(v) \equiv f(v) \pmod{2}$ for all $v \in V(G)$. A $(g,f)$-parity factor of $G$ is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that…

We consider circulant graphs G(r,N) where the vertices are the integers modulo N and the neighbours of 0 are {-r,...,-1,1,...,r}. The energy of G(r,N) is a trigonometric sum of N*r terms. For low values of r we compute this sum explicitly.…

For a graph G, its rth power G^r has the same vertex set as G, and has an edge between any two vertices within distance r of each other in G. We give a lower bound for the number of edges in the rth power of G in terms of the order of G and…

We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…

A key challenge in network science is the detection of communities, which are sets of nodes in a network that are densely connected internally but sparsely connected to the rest of the network. A fundamental result in community detection is…

In this paper, we consider the average size of independent edge sets, also called matchings, in a graph. We characterize the extremal graphs for the average size of matchings in general graphs and trees. In addition, we obtain inequalities…

The eccentricity matrix of a graph is obtained from the distance matrix by keeping the largest entries in their row or column, and the remaining entries are replaced by zeros. The eccentricity energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute…

In 2018, Arizmendi and Juarez introduced the concept of energy of a vertex, a novel approach allowing the total energy of a graph to be expressed as the sum of the energies of its individual vertices. In this article, we extend the notion…

We determine the maximum number of a graph without containing the 2-power of a Hamilton path. Using this result, we establish a spectral condition for a graph containing the 2-power of a Hamilton path.

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$, and $d_i$ the degree of a vertex $v_i$ of $G$. The Randi\'c matrix ${\bf R}=(r_{ij})$ of $G$ is defined by $r_{ij} = 1 / \sqrt{d_jd_j}$ if the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent in $G$ and $r_{ij}=0$…

For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and signless Laplacian eigenvalues $q_{1} \geq q_{2} \geq \cdots \geq q_{n} \geq 0$, its the signless Laplacian energy $QE(G)$ is defined as $QE(G) = \sum_{i=1}^{n}|q_{i} - \bar{d} |$,…

In the recent years, the trace norm of graphs has been extensively studied under the name of graph energy. In this paper some of this research is extended to more general matrix norms, like the Schatten p-norms and the Ky Fan k-norms.…

The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$ is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by retaining the largest distances in each row and each column, and setting the remaining entries as $0$. In this article, a conjecture about the…

A graph $G$ is said to be \emph{determined by its spectrum} if any graph having the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. Let $K_n \setminus P_{\ell}$ be the graph obtained from $K_n$ by removing edges of $P_\ell$, where $P_\ell$ is a…

A simple probabilistic argument shows that every $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges contains an $r$-partite subhypergraph with at least $\frac{r!}{r^r}m$ edges. The celebrated result of Edwards states that in the case of graphs, that is…
