Liu, Hong, Gu, and Lai proved if the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta \ge 2m+2 \ge 4$ satisfies $\lambda_2(G) < \delta - \frac{2m+1}{\delta+1}$, then $G$ contains at least $m+1$…

We show that for every prime $d$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/6)$, there is an infinite sequence of $(d+1)$-regular graphs $G=(V,E)$ with girth at least $2\alpha \log_{d}(|V|)(1-o_d(1))$, second adjacency matrix eigenvalue bounded by…

We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We determine the admissible parameters for the $\{5,6,\ldots,10\}$-regular signed graphs which have only two distinct eigenvalues. For each obtained…

We obtain new lower and upper bounds for the maximum multiplicity of some weighted and, respectively, non-weighted common geometric graphs drawn on n points in the plane in general position (with no three points collinear): perfect…

In this note, we study the maximum number $N_\alpha(d)$ of a system of equiangular lines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with cosine $\alpha$, where $\frac{1}{\alpha}$ is not an odd positive integer. This note is motivated by a remark in a $2018$ paper…

Consider the family of all finite graphs with maximum degree $\Delta(G)<d$ and matching number $\nu(G)<m$. In this paper we give a new proof to obtain the exact upper bound for the number of edges in such graphs and also characterize all…

The sum $\lambda_1 + \lambda_n$ of the maximum and minimum eigenvalues, and the odd girth of a graph both measure bipartiteness. We seek to relate these measures. In particular, for an odd integer $k\geq 3$, let $\gamma_k$ denote the…

The second largest eigenvalue of a graph is an important algebraic parameter which is related with the expansion, connectivity and randomness properties of a graph. Expanders are highly connected sparse graphs. In coding theory, Expander…

Random graphs defined by an occurrence probability that is invariant under node aggregation have been identified recently in the context of network renormalization. The invariance property requires that edges are drawn with a specific…
