In this paper, we aim to address the open questions raised in various recent papers regarding characterization of circulant graphs with three or four distinct eigenvalues in their spectra. Our focus is on providing characterizations and…

For a non-bipartite finite Cayley graph, we show the non-trivial eigenvalues of its normalized adjacency matrix lie in the interval $$\left[-1+\frac{ch_{out}^2}{d},1-\frac{Ch_{out}^2}{d}\right],$$ for some absolute constant $c$ and $C$,…

For positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n\geq 2k+1$, the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is the graph with vertex set consisting of all $k$-sets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, where two $k$-sets are adjacent exactly when they are disjoint. The independent sets…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is called equistable if there exist a positive integer $t$ and a weight function $w : V \to \mathbb{N}$ such that $S \subseteq V$ is a maximal stable set of $G$ if and only if $w(S) = t$. Such a function $w$ is called an…

A subset $C$ of the vertex set of a graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(\alpha,\beta)$-regular if $C$ induces an $\alpha$-regular subgraph and every vertex outside $C$ is adjacent to exactly $\beta$ vertices in $C$. In particular, if $C$ is an…

We study upper bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov problem defined on finite graphs with boundary. For finite graphs with boundary included in a Cayley graph associated to a group of polynomial growth, we give an upper…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $k\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$, is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their symmetric difference…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, and let $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ denote respectively the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix of $G$. Define $$ A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G) $$ for any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$. The collection of…

We introduce a family of multi-way Cheeger-type constants $\{h_k^{\sigma}, k=1,2,\ldots, n\}$ on a signed graph $\Gamma=(G,\sigma)$ such that $h_k^{\sigma}=0$ if and only if $\Gamma$ has $k$ balanced connected components. These constants…

Motivated by a question on the maximal number of vertex disjoint Schrijver graphs in the Kneser graph, we investigate the following function, denoted by $f(n,k)$: the maximal number of Hamiltonian cycles on an $n$ element set, such that no…

Let $\{e_{1},\ldots,e_{n}\}$ be the standard basis of abelian group $Z_{2}^{n}$, which can be also viewed as a linear space of dimension $n$ over the Galois filed $F_{2}$, and $\epsilon_{k}=e_k+e_{k+1}+\cdots+e_n$ for some $1\le k\le n-1$.…

All graphs considered are simple and undirected. The Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of a Graph $G$ (IEP-G) aims to find all possible spectra for matrices whose $(i,j)-$entry, for $i\neq j$, is nonzero precisely when $i$ is adjacent to $j$. A…

The $k^{\text{th}}$ power of a graph $G=(V,E)$, $G^k$, is the graph whose vertex set is $V$ and in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in $G$ is at most $k$. This article proves various eigenvalue bounds…

This paper addresses the challenge of spectral analysis and structural investigation for graphs that are not distance-regular, where computing the spectrum using standard methods based on equitable and orbit partitions can be complex. Our…

An eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a main eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. It is well known that a graph $G$ has exactly two main eigenvalues if and only if there exists a unique pair of…
