The generalized Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n, H, F)$ denotes the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Let $kK_{r+1}$ be the disjoint union of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_{r+1}$. Recently, Gerbner…

The spectral Tur\'an theorem states that the $k$-partite Tur\'an graph is the unique graph attaining the maximum adjacency spectral radius among all graphs of order $n$ containing no the complete graph $K_{k+1}$ as a subgraph. This result…

Shiu, Chan and Chang [On the spectral radius of graphs with connectivity at most $k$, J. Math. Chem., 46 (2009), 340-346] studied the spectral radius of graphs of order $n$ with $\kappa(G) \leq k$ and showed that among those graphs, the…

The $(k,r)$-fan is the graph consisting of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_r$ which intersect in a single vertex, and is denoted by $F_{k,r}$. Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Gould and Gunderson [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 64 (1995) 89--100]…

Fix a color-critical graph $H$ with $\chi(H)=r+1\geq 3$. Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem and Nikiforov's spectral chromatic critical edge theorem imply that $T_{n,r}$ is the extremal graph with the maximum size and the maximum…

The odd wheel $W_{2k+1}$ is the graph formed by joining a vertex to a cycle of length $2k$. In this paper, we investigate the largest value of the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain…

Nikiforov conjectured that for a given integer $k\ge 2$, any graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with spectral radius $\mu(G)\geq \mu(S_{n,k})$ (or $\mu(G)\ge \mu(S_{n,k}^+))$ contains $C_{2k+1}$ or $C_{2k+2}$(or $C_{2k+2}$), unless…

For a set of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, let $\ex(n,\mathcal{F})$ and $\spex(n,\mathcal{F})$ denote the maximum number of edges and the maximum spectral radius of an $n$-vertex $\mathcal{F}$-free graph, respectively. Nikiforov ({\em LAA}, 2007)…

Given a graph $F$, the expansion $F^{(r)}$ of $F$ is defined as the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by adding a set of $(r-2)$ distinct new vertices to each edge of $F$. In this paper, we investigate spectral stability results for…

In the 1960s, Erd\H{o}s and his cooperators initiated the research of the maximum numbers of edges in a graph or a planar graph on $n$ vertices without $k$ edge-disjoint cycles. This problem had been solved for $k\leq4$. As pointed out by…

In this paper, we determine the graphs with maximum value of the sum number from $k$-clique spectral radius to $(2r-1)$-clique spectral radius among all $2K_{r}$-free graphs on $n$ vertices for $ r\le k$ and large $n$. We also determine the…

In this paper, we study the maximum adjacency spectral radii of graphs of large order that do not contain an even cycle of given length. For $n>k$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the join of a clique on $k$ vertices with an independent set of $n-k$…

Minors play an important role in extremal graph theory and spectral extremal graph theory. Tait [The Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter, excluded minors, and the spectral radius, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 166 (2019) 42--58] determined the…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be a diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. In 2017, Nikiforov defined the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of $G$ as \begin{equation*} A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha G)+(1-\alpha)A(G),…

A well-known result of Mantel asserts that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph $G$ has at most $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges. Moreover, Erd\H{o}s proved that if $G$ is further non-bipartite, then $e(G)\le \lfloor {(n-1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +1$.…
