Let $G$ be a digraph and $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix with outdegrees of vertices of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in[0,1]$, Liu et al. \cite{LWCL} defined the matrix $A_\alpha(G)$ as…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$. We conjecture that \[2n^+(G) \le n^-(G)(n^-(G) + 1),\] where $n^+(G)$ and $n^-(G)$ denote the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of $A(G)$, respectively. This conjecture generalizes…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote a set of graphs. A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal{F}$-free if it does not contain any element of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number is the maximum possible number of edges in an $\mathcal{F}$-free…

We study optimal minimum degree conditions when an $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains an $r$-regular $r$-connected subgraph. We prove for $r$ fixed and $n$ large the condition to be $\delta(G) \ge \frac{n+r-2}{2}$ when $nr \equiv 0 \pmod 2$.…

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…

We give lower bounds on the size and total size of clique partitions of a graph in terms of its spectral radius and minimum degree, and derive a spectral upper bound for the maximum number of edge-disjoint $t$-cliques. The extremal graphs…

We prove three conjectures regarding the maximization of spectral invariants over certain families of graphs. Our most difficult result is that the join of $P_2$ and $P_{n-2}$ is the unique graph of maximum spectral radius over all planar…

For each $\Delta>0$, we prove that there exists some $C=C(\Delta)$ for which the binomial random graph $G(n,C\log n/n)$ almost surely contains a copy of every tree with $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. In doing so, we…

The Burning Number Conjecture claims that for every connected graph $G$ of order $n,$ its burning number satisfies $b(G) \le \lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil.$ While the conjecture remains open, we prove that it is asymptotically true when the order…

Let $F_l$ be the fan graph obtained by joining a vertex with a path on $l-1$ vertices. Yu, Li and Peng [Discrete Math. 346 (2023)] conjectured that if the number of edges of $G$ is $m$ and the spectral radius…

For a graph $G$, let $\nu_s(G)$ be the induced matching number of $G$. We prove the sharp bound $\nu_s(G)\geq \frac{n(G)}{9}$ for every graph $G$ of maximum degree at most $4$ and without isolated vertices that does not contain a certain…

Let \(G\) be a finite group, and let \(\Delta(G)\) denote the \emph{prime graph} built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of \(G\). It is well known that, whenever \(\Delta(G)\) is connected, the diameter of…

It is known that families of graphs with a semialgebraic edge relation of bounded complexity satisfy much stronger regularity properties than arbitrary graphs, and that they can be decomposed into very homogeneous semialgebraic pieces up to…

A graph $G$ is called $H$-free, if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In 2010, Nikiforov proposed a Brualdi-Solheid-Tur\'{a}n type problem: what is the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph of order $n$? In this paper, we…

A graph is called odd if all of its vertex degrees are odd. A long-standing conjecture asked whether there exists a positive constant $c$ such that every $n$-vertex graph without isolated vertices contains an odd induced subgraph on at…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be the set of spanning trees of $G$ and let $L(T)$ be the number of leaves in a tree $T$. The leaf number $L(G)$ of $G$ is defined as $L(G)=\max\{L(T)|T\in \mathcal{T}\}$. Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta$. A classic result of Vizing shows that $\chi'(G)$, the chromatic index of $G$, is either $\Delta$ or $\Delta+1$. We say $G$ is of \emph{Class 1} if $\chi'(G)=\Delta$, and is of…

In this note a new measure of irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G$ is introduced. It is named the total irregularity of a graph and is defined as $\irr_t(G) = 1/2\sum_{u,v \in V(G)} |d_G(u)-d_G(v)|$, where $d_G(u)$ denotes the…

In 1985, Erd\H{o}s and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il conjectured that the square of the line graph of a graph $G$, that is $L(G)^2$, can be colored with $\frac{5}{4}\Delta(G)^2$ colors. This conjecture implies the weaker conjecture that the clique…

An identifying code of a closed-twin-free graph $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices in $G$ have a distinct intersection between their closed neighborhoods and $S$. It was conjectured that there exists…
