We prove that the maximum eigenvalue of the (both signed and unsigned) Laplacian of level $k$ Kikuchi graph of any graph $G$ with $m$ edges is at most $m+k$. This confirms four recent conjectures of Apte, Parekh, and Sud. As applications,…

The $k$-way discrepancy $\disc_k (\C)$ of a rectangular array $\C$ of nonnegative entries is the minimum of the maxima of the within- and between-cluster discrepancies that can be obtained by simultaneous $k$-clusterings (proper partitions)…

The largest eigenvalue of a matrix is always larger or equal than its largest diagonal entry. We show that for a large class of random Laplacian matrices, this bound is essentially tight: the largest eigenvalue is, up to lower order terms,…

We deal with connected $k$-regular multigraphs of order $n$ that has only three distinct eigenvalues. In this paper, we study the largest possible number of vertices of such a graph for given $k$. For $k=2,3,7$, the Moore graphs are…

For some positive integer $k$, if the finite cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_k$ can act freely on a graph $G$, then we say that $G$ is $k$-symmetric. In 1985, Faria showed that the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalue 1 is greater than or equal to…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n,$ and let $q_{1}(G) \geq ...\geq q_{n}(G) $ be the eigenvalues of the $Q$-matrix of $G$, also known as the signless Laplacian of $G.$ In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the equality…

Let $G$ be a $k$-degenerate graph of order $n.$ It is well-known that $G\ $has no more edges than $S_{n,k},$ the join of a complete graph of order $k$ and an independent set of order $n-k.$ In this note it is shown that $S_{n,k}$ is…
