In a recent paper, Caro, Lauri, Mifsud, Yuster, and Zarb ask which parameters $r$ and $c$ admit the existence of an $r$-regular graph such that the neighborhood of each vertex induces exactly $c$ edges. They show that every $r$ with $c$…

We consider the family of undirected Cayley graphs associated with odd cyclic groups, and study statistics for the eigenvalues in their spectra. Our results are motivated by analogies between arithmetic geometry and graph theory.

Let $G$ be a finite group with $|G|\geq 4$ and $S$ be a subset of $G$. Given an automorphism $\sigma$ of $G$, the twisted Cayley graph $C(G, S)^\sigma$ (resp. the twisted Cayley sum graph $C_\Sigma(G, S)^\sigma$) is defined as the graph…

Given a graph $G$, let $\lambda_3$ denote the third largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we prove various results towards the conjecture that $\lambda_3(G) \le \frac{|V(G)|}{3}$, motivated by a question of Nikiforov.…

The goal of this expository note is to give a short, self-contained proof of nearly optimal lower bounds for the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of regular graphs.

In this note, we improve the lower bounds for the maximum size of the $k$th largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph for several values of $k$. In particular, we show that closed blowups of the icosahedral graph improve the…

In this article we investigate normalized adjacency eigenvalues (simply normalized eigenvalues) and normalized adjacency energy of connected threshold graphs. A threshold graph can always be represented as a unique binary string. Certain…

It is well known that spectral Tur\'{a}n type problem is one of the most classical {problems} in graph theory. In this paper, we consider the spectral Tur\'{a}n type problem. Let $G$ be a graph and let $\mathcal{G}$ be a set of graphs, we…

For a simple and connected graph, several lower and upper bounds of graph invariants expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian matrix have been proposed in literature. In this paper, through a unified approach based…

We prove improved bounds on how localized an eigenvector of a high girth regular graph can be, and present examples showing that these bounds are close to sharp. This study was initiated by Brooks and Lindenstrauss (2009) who relied on the…

Sharp bounds on the least eigenvalue of an arbitrary graph are presented. Necessary and sufficient (just sufficient) conditions for the lower (upper) bound to be attained are deduced using edge clique partitions. As an application, we prove…

We offer a new method for proving that the maximal eigenvalue of the normalized graph Laplacian of a graph with $n$ vertices is at least $\frac{n+1}{n-1}$ provided the graph is not complete and that equality is attained if and only if the…

Among all uniform hypergraphs with even uniformity, the odd-transversal or odd-bipartite hypergraphs are more close to bipartite simple graphs from the viewpoint of both structure and spectrum. A hypergraph is called minimal…

We give inequalities relating the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of a graph, and its minimum and maximum degrees. The results are applied to derive new conditions for quasi-randomness of graphs.

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…
