A fundamental graph problem is to recognize whether the vertex set of a graph $G$ can be bipartitioned into sets $A$ and $B$ such that $G[A]$ and $G[B]$ satisfy properties $\Pi_A$ and $\Pi_B$, respectively. This so-called…
For any graph~\(G,\) a set of vertices~\({\cal V}\) is said to be dominating if every vertex of~\(G\) contains at least one node of~\(G\) and separating if each vertex~\(v\) contains a unique neighbour~\(u_v \in {\cal V}\) that is adjacent…
Graph learning from data represents a canonical problem that has received substantial attention in the literature. However, insufficient work has been done in incorporating prior structural knowledge onto the learning of underlying…
Graph filtering is the cornerstone operation in graph signal processing (GSP). Thus, understanding it is key in developing potent GSP methods. Graph filters are local and distributed linear operations, whose output depends only on the local…
The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper we study convex graph invariants, which are graph invariants…
Equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph $G$ that satisfy restrictive conditions on chordless squares play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian graph products and graph bundles. We show here that such relations in a natural way…
We completely determine the spectrum of an $I$-graph, that is, the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We apply our result to prove known characterizations of connectedness and bipartiteness in $I$-graphs by using an spectral approach.…
The spectral radius {\rho}(G) of a digraph G is the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We present bounds on {\rho}(G) that are often tighter and are applicable to a larger class of digraphs than previously reported…
An independent transversal (IT) in a graph with a given vertex partition is an independent set consisting of one vertex in each partition class. Several sufficient conditions are known for the existence of an IT in a given graph with a…
Construction of graphs with equal eigenvalues (co-spectral graphs) is an interesting problem in spectral graph theory. Seidel switching is a well-known method for generating co-spectral graphs. From a matrix theoretic point of view, Seidel…
We present a spectral analysis for matrix scaling and operator scaling. We prove that if the input matrix or operator has a spectral gap, then a natural gradient flow has linear convergence. This implies that a simple gradient descent…
The stated paper is dedicated to one of the inverse problems of spectral theory. It is necessary to define matrix (constant) coefficients of some quadratic pencil, if the eigenvalues of this pencil are known. Furthermore, it is known that…
For a graph $G$, we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, $\mathcal{S}(G)$, where for any $M \in \mathcal{S}(G)$, the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of $M$ are governed by the adjacency structure of $G$. The ordered…
Partition functions of certain classes of "spin glass" models in statistical physics show strong connections to combinatorial graph invariants. Also known as homomorphism functions they allow for the representation of many such invariants,…
A discrete Schr\"odinger operator of a graph $G$ is a real symmetric matrix whose $i,j$-entry, $i \neq j$, is negative if $\{i,j\}$ is an edge and zero if it is not an edge, while diagonal entries can be any real numbers. The discrete…
Let $\mathcal{G}^M$ denote the set of connected graphs with distinct $M$-eigenvalues. This paper explores the $M$-spectrum and eigenvectors of a new product $G\circ_C H$ of graphs $G$ and $H$. We present the necessary and sufficient…

Spectral algorithms are some of the main tools in optimization and inference problems on graphs. Typically, the graph is encoded as a matrix and eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the matrix are then used to solve the given graph problem.…
Graphs are naturally sparse objects that are used to study many problems involving networks, for example, distributed learning and graph signal processing. In some cases, the graph is not given, but must be learned from the problem and…
