The first Zagreb index of a graph $G$ is the sum of squares of the vertex degrees in a graph and the second Zagreb index of $G$ is the sum of products of degrees of adjacent vertices in $G$. The imbalance of an edge in $G$ is the numerical…
We study spectral properties of the standard (also called Kirchhoff) Laplacian and the anti-standard (or anti-Kirchhoff) Laplacian on a finite, compact metric graph. We show that the positive eigenvalues of these two operators coincide…
The pseudoinverse of a graph Laplacian is used in many applications and fields, such as for instance in the computation of the effective resistance in electrical networks, in the calculation of the hitting/commuting times for a Markov chain…
Threshold graphs are graphs that can be characterized in a number of different ways. For example, they are graphs that are $P_4,\ C_4,\ 2K_2$--free. They may also be characterized by a finite sequence of positive integers $a_1, \ldots,…
Signed graphs are widely used to analyze complex systems such as social, political, and biological networks. The notion of balance, a key concept of signed graphs, reflects the stability of relationships. While it has been extensively…
In this paper, we study the Hamiltonicity of graphs with large minimum degree. Firstly, we present some conditions for a simple graph to be Hamilton-connected and traceable from every vertex in terms of the spectral radius of the graph or…
The notion of smoothness was introduced originally in the context of step systems on connected graphs. Smoothness turns out to be a very general property of metrics defined by a five-point condition. Restricted to graphs, it is closely…
The (torsion) complexity of a finite signed graph is defined to be the order of the torsion subgroup of the abelian group presented by its Laplacian matrix. When $G$ is $d$-periodic (i.e., $G$ has a free ${\mathbb Z}^d$-action by graph…
A graph $G$ is $k$-edge-Hamiltonian if any collection of vertex-disjoint paths with at most $k$ edges altogether belong to a Hamiltonian cycle in $G$. A graph $G$ is $k$-Hamiltonian if for all $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|\le k$, the subgraph…
Token graphs, or symmetric powers of graphs, see \cite{alavi2002survey} and \cite{Fabila-Monroy2012}, are defined on the $k$-combinations of the vertex set of some graph $L$, where edges exist between two such combinations, if their…
An independent set of a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $I$ such that there is no edge joining any two vertices in $I$. Imagine that a token is placed on each vertex of an independent set of $G$. The $\mathsf{TS}$- ($\mathsf{TS}_k$-)…
Two competing types of interactions often play an important part in shaping system behavior, such as activatory or inhibitory functions in biological systems. Hence, signed networks, where each connection can be either positive or negative,…
We show that for threshold graphs, the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix interlace with the degrees of the vertices. As an application, we show that the signless Brouwer conjecture holds for threshold graphs, i.e., for threshold…
We provide a combinatorial characterization of all testable properties of $k$-uniform hypergraphs ($k$-graphs for short). Here, a $k$-graph property $P$ is testable if there is a randomized algorithm which makes a bounded number of edge…
A graph is a split graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into a clique and a stable set. A split graph is unbalanced if there exist two such partitions that are distinct. Cheng, Collins and Trenk (2016), discovered the following…
In this paper, we consider the approximate weighted graph matching problem and introduce stable and informative first and second order compatibility terms suitable for inclusion into the popular integer quadratic program formulation. Our…
We study two different types of gluing for graphs: interface (obtained by choosing a common subgraph as the gluing component) and bridge gluing (obtained by adding a set of edges to the given subgraphs). We introduce formulae for computing…
Let $K$ be a complete graph of order $n$. For $d\in (0,1)$, let $c$ be a $\pm 1$-edge labeling of $K$ such that there are $d{n\choose 2}$ edges with label $+1$, and let $G$ be a spanning subgraph of $K$ of maximum degree at most $\Delta$.…
In this paper, we consider the bounds for the largest eigenvalue and the sum of the $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of signed graphs. Firstly, we give an upper bound on the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a signed graph and…
In this paper, we introduce a graph structure called linear dependence graph of a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field. Some basic properties of the graph like connectedness, completeness, planarity, clique number, chromatic…
