The spectral radius of a uniform hypergraph $G$ is the the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of the adjacency tensor of $G$. For $k\ge 2$, among connected $k$-uniform hypergraphs with $m\ge 1$ edges, we show that the $k$-uniform loose path…

The spectral radius of a graph is the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. A threshold graph is a simple graph whose vertices can be ordered as $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n$, so that for each $2 \le i \le n$, vertex $v_i$ is either adjacent…

A radio labeling of a connected graph $G$ is a function $c:V(G) \to \mathbb Z_+$ such that for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$ $$\text{distance}(u,v)+|c(u)-c(v)|\geq 1+ \text{diameter}(G).$$ The radio number of a graph $G$ is…
