The spectral extrema problems on forbidding minors have aroused wide attention. Very recently, Zhai and Lin [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 157 (2022) 184--215] determined the extremal graph with maximum adjacency spectral radius among all…

A graph homomorphism between two graphs is a map from the vertex set of one graph to the vertex set of the other graph, that maps edges to edges. In this note we study the range of a uniformly chosen homomorphism from a graph G to the…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. As is well known, $\rho(G)\geq\frac{2m}{n}$ with equality if and only if $G$ is regular. To…

In this paper, we consider {\em mixed curvature} $\mathcal{C}_{\alpha,\beta}$ for Hermitian manifolds, which is a convex combination of the first Chern Ricci curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature introduced by Chu-Lee-Tam…

A matching M is a dominating induced matching of a graph, if every edge of the graph is either in $M$ or has a common end-vertex with exactly one edge in $M$. The concept of complete dominating induced matching is introduced as graphs where…

We present enumeration results on the number of connected graphs up to 10 vertices for which there is at least one other graph with the same spectrum (a cospectral mate), or at least one other graph with the same Smith normal form…

The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the largest possible number of vertices in a graph having given diameter and given maximum degree. There has been much recent interest in the problem for mixed graphs, where we allow both undirected…

This paper introduces a novel Laplacian matrix aiming to enable the construction of spectral convolutional networks and to extend the signal processing applications for directed graphs. Our proposal is inspired by a Haar-like transformation…

Boundary conditions in quantum graph vertices are generally given in terms of a unitary matrix $U$. Observing that if $U$ has at most two eigenvalues, then the scattering matrix $\mathcal{S}(k)$ of the vertex is a linear combination of the…

Graph clustering is a fundamental technique in data analysis with applications in many different fields. While there is a large body of work on clustering undirected graphs, the problem of clustering directed graphs is much less understood.…

The Brouwer's toughness conjecture states that every $d$-regular connected graph always has $t(G)>\frac{d}{\lambda}-1$ where $\lambda$ is the second largest absolute eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. In 1988, Enomoto introduced a…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a connected $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and $m$ hyperedges. In [A.~Banerjee, On the spectrum of hypergraph, Linear Algebra and its Application, 614(2021), 82--110], Anirban Banerjee introduced a new adjacency…

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…

In this article, we propose a new type of square matrix associated with an undirected graph by trading off the naturally imbedded symmetry in them. The proposed matrix is defined using the neighbourhood sets of the vertices. It is called as…

Let $H_{s,t_1,\ldots ,t_k}$ be the graph with $s$ triangles and $k$ odd cycles of lengths $t_1,\ldots ,t_k\ge 5$ intersecting in exactly one common vertex. Recently, Hou, Qiu and Liu [Discrete Math. 341 (2018) 126--137], and Yuan [J. Graph…

We consider a hierarchy of graph invariants that naturally extends the spectral invariants defined by F\"urer (Lin. Alg. Appl. 2010) based on the angles formed by the set of standard basis vectors and their projections onto eigenspaces of…

The purpose of this article is to improve existing lower bounds on the chromatic number chi. Let mu_1,...,mu_n be the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix sorted in non-increasing order. First, we prove the lower bound chi >= 1 + max_m…

A conference matrix of order $n$ is an $n\times n$ matrix $C$ with diagonal entries $0$ and off-diagonal entries $\pm 1$ satisfying $CC^\top=(n-1)I$. If $C$ is symmetric, then $C$ has a symmetric spectrum $\Sigma$ (that is,…

We study operators on rooted graphs with a certain spherical homogeneity. These graphs are called path commuting and allow for a decomposition of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian into a direct sum of Jacobi matrices which reflect the…
