For a bipartite graph $H$, its linear threshold is the smallest real number $\sigma$ such that every bipartite graph $G = (U \sqcup V, E)$ with unbalanced parts $|V| \gtrsim |U|^\sigma$ and without a copy of $H$ must have a linear number of…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph and $d_i$ be the degree of its $i$th vertex. In a recent paper [J. Math. Chem. 46 (2009) 1369-1376] the first geometric-arithmetic index of a graph $G$ was defined as $$GA_1=\sum_{ij\in E}\frac{2…

For a graph $G$ without isolated vertices, the inverse degree of a graph $G$ is defined as $ID(G)=\sum_{u\in V(G)}d(u)^{-1}$ where $d(u)$ is the number of vertices adjacent to the vertex $u$ in $G$. By replacing $-1$ by any non-zero real…

We introduce and study a generalization of conformal rigidity for graphs. A graph is $k$-conformally rigid if the uniform edge weights simultaneously maximize the sum of the $k$ smallest nontrivial Laplacian eigenvalues and minimize the sum…

For a graph $G$ of order $n$, the spectral sum of $G$ is defined to be the sum $\lambda_1(G) + \lambda_2(G)$, where $\lambda_1(G)$ (resp. $\lambda_2(G)$) is the largest (resp. second largest) adjacency eigenvalue of $G$. Ebrahimi, Mohar,…

The thickness $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of planar spanning subgraphs into which the graph $G$ can be decomposed. It is a topological invariant of a graph, which was defined by W.T. Tutte in 1963 and also has important…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset $S$ is called a maximum generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ does not contain a $k$-tree as its subgraph, and the subset has maximum cardinality. The generalized $k$-independence…

The spread of a graph $G$ is the difference between the largest and smallest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. In this paper, we consider the family of graphs which contain no $K_{s,t}$-minor. We show that for any $t\geq s \geq 2$…

Sombor index is a novel topological index, which was introduced by Gutman and defined for a graph $G$ as $SO(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d_{u}^{2}+d_{v}^{2}}$, where $d_{u}=d_{G}(u)$ denotes the degree of vertex $u$ in graph $G$.…
