Let $G$ be a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$. We recall the notions of $\min-match_{\{K_2, C_5\}}(G)$ and $\ind-match_{\{K_2, C_5\}}(G)$ from \cite{sy}. We show that $${\rm reg}(I(G)^s)\leq 2s+\min-match_{\{K_2, C_5\}}(G)-1,$$for all $s\geq…

In this paper, all graphs whose adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) different from $2$ and $-1$ are determined. These graphs conclude a class of generalized friendship graphs $F_{t,r,k}, $ which is the…

Let $I(G)$ be the edge ideal of a bicyclic graph. In this paper, we characterize the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $I(G)$ in terms of the induced matching number of $G$. For the base case of this family of graphs, i.e. dumbbell graph,…

A graph is {\em perfect} if, in all its induced subgraphs, the size of a largest clique is equal to the chromatic number. Examples of perfect graphs include bipartite graphs, line graphs of bipartite graphs and the complements of such…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, its adjacency matrix and degree diagonal matrix are denoted by $A(G)$ and $D(G)$, respectively. In 2017, Nikiforov \cite{0007} introduced the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$ for…

Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree $\delta$. The spectral radius of $G$, denoted by $\rho(G)$, is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. In this note we mainly prove the following two results. (1) Let $G$ be a graph on…

In a recent breakthrough, Zhang proves that if $G$ is an $H$-free graph with $m$ edges, then $G$ has a cut of size at least $m/2+c_Hm^{0.5001}$, making a significant step towards a well known conjecture of Alon, Bollob\'as, Krivelevich and…

In \cite{reed97}, Reed conjectures that the inequality $\chi (G) \leq \left \lceil \textstyle {1/2} (\omega (G) + \Delta (G) + 1) \right \rceil$ holds for any graph $G$. We prove this holds for a graph $G$ if $\bar{G}$ is disconnected. From…

Consider the random process in which the edges of a graph $G$ are added one by one in a random order. A classical result states that if $G$ is the complete graph $K_{2n}$ or the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$, then typically a perfect…

The Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is denoted by $L(G)=D(G)-A(G)$, where $D(G)=diag(d(v_{1}),\ldots , d(v_{n}))$ is a diagonal matrix and $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two graphs. A one-edge connection of…
