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…

Consider a semigraph $G=(V,\,E)$; in this paper, we study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of $G$. We show that the Laplacian of $G$ is positive semi-definite, and $G$ is connected if and only if $\lambda_2 >0.$ Along the similar…

Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Laplacian matrix of G, denoted by L(G), is defined as L(G) = D(G) - A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and D(G) is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. A graph G is said to be…

We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…

We consider graph classes $\mathcal G$ in which every graph has components in a class $\mathcal{C}$ of connected graphs. We provide a framework for the asymptotic study of $\lvert\mathcal{G}_{n,N}\rvert$, the number of graphs in…

For a graph with largest normalized Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_N$ and (vertex) coloring number $\chi$, it is known that $\lambda_N\geq \chi/(\chi-1)$. Here we prove properties of graphs for which this bound is sharp, and we study the…

We study the eigenvector mass distribution of an $N\times N$ Wigner matrix on a set of coordinates $I$ satisfying $| I | \ge c N$ for some constant $c >0$. For eigenvectors corresponding to eigenvalues at the spectral edge, we show that the…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a finite nonempty set of $3$-element subsets of a totally ordered set $V$. We view $\mathcal{T}$ as the set of triangles in the support graph. Let $\delta_{1,\mathcal{T}}$ be the signed edge-triangle incidence matrix,…

A matching M is a dominating induced matching of a graph, if every edge of the graph is either in $M$ or has a common end-vertex with exactly one edge in $M$. The concept of complete dominating induced matching is introduced as graphs where…

A nut graph is a simple graph for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry. If the isolated vertex is excluded as trivial, nut graphs have seven or more vertices;…

The aim of this paper is to study some parameters of simple graphs related with the degree of the vertices. So, our main tool is the $n\times n$ matrix ${\cal A}$ whose ($i,j$)-entry is $$ a_{ij}= \left\lbrace \begin{array}{ll}…

Given a simple graph $G$, the {\it irregularity strength} of $G$, denoted by $s(G)$, is the least positive integer $k$ such that there is a weight assignment on edges $f: E(G) \to \{1,2,\dots, k\}$ attributing distinct weighted degrees:…
