In this article we introduce a definition of k-uniform thresholds hypergraphs through a binary sequence, a natural extension of the classical definition for thresholds graphs. We characterize some of its eigenvalues and multiplicities by…

In this paper, we introduce a matrix for a mixed graph, called the integrated adjacency matrix. This matrix uniquely determines a mixed graph, as long as the indices of the matrix are specified. Additionally, we associate an (undirected)…

We give a construction of a family of (weighted) graphs that are pairwise cospectral with respect to the normalized Laplacian matrix, or equivalently probability transition matrix. This construction can be used to form pairs of cospectral…

Switching is an operation on a graph that does not change the spectrum of the adjacency matrix, thus producing cospectral graphs. An important activity in the field of spectral graph theory is the characterization of graphs by their…

A hypergraph generalizes the concept of an ordinary graph. In an ordinary graph, edges connect pairs of vertices, whereas in a hypergraph, hyperedges can connect multiple vertices at a time. In this paper, we obtain a relationship between…

In a recent series of papers, Hosoya drew the attention to a particular aspect of constructing cospectral graphs by using coalescences: that cospectral graphs can be constructed by attaching multiple copies of a rooted graph in different…

Two emerging topics in graph theory are the study of cospectral vertices of a graph, and the study of isospectral reductions of graphs. In this paper, we prove a fundamental relationship between these two areas, which is that two vertices…

Adjacency between two vertices in graphs or hypergraphs is a pairwise relationship. It is redefined in this article as 2-adjacency. In general hypergraphs, hyperedges hold for $n$-adic relationship. To keep the $n$-adic relationship the…

Cospectral graphs are a fascinating concept in graph theory, where two non-isomorphic graphs possess identical sets of eigenvalues. In this paper, we compute the $A_\alpha$-characteristic polynomial of neighbour and non-neighbour splitting…

Let $F$ be a graph. A hypergraph is called Berge $F$ if it can be obtained by replacing each edge in $F$ by a hyperedge containing it. Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, we say that a hypergraph $H$ is Berge $\mathcal{F}$-free if for…

In this short note, we introduce cospectral graphons, paralleling the notion of cospectral graphs. As in the graph case, we give three equivalent definitions: by equality of spectra, by equality of cycle densities, and by a unitary…

For vertex and edge connectivity we construct infinitely many pairs of regular graphs with the same spectrum, but with different connectivity.

Two graphs having the same spectrum are said to be cospectral. A pair of singularly cospectral graphs is formed by two graphs such that the absolute values of their nonzero eigenvalues coincide. Clearly, a pair of cospectral graphs is also…

Here, we define a subdivision operation for a hypergraph and compute all the eigenvalues of the subdivision of regular and certain non-regular hypergraphs. In non-regular hypergraphs, we investigate the power of regular graphs, various…

In [Steve Butler. A note about cospectral graphs for the adjacency and normalized Laplacian matrices. Linear Multilinear Algebra, 58(3-4):387-390, 2010.], Butler constructed a family of bipartite graphs, which are cospectral for both the…

In this paper we will apply the tensor and its traces to investigate the spectral characterization of unicyclic graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $G^m$ be the $m$-th power (hypergraph) of $G$. The spectrum of $G$ is referring to its adjacency…

The adjacency operator of a graph has a spectrum and a class of scalar-valued spectral measures which have been systematically analyzed; it also has a spectral multiplicity function which has been less studied. The first purpose of this…

In graphs, the concept of adjacency is clearly defined: it is a pairwise relationship between vertices. Adjacency in hypergraphs has to integrate hyperedge multi-adicity: the concept of adjacency needs to be defined properly by introducing…
