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…

We prove that the diameter of any unweighted connected graph G is O(k log n/lambda_k), for any k>= 2. Here, lambda_k is the k smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian of G. This solves a problem posed by Gil Kalai.

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…

We study the eigenvalues of the unique connected anti-regular graph $A_n$. Using Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we obtain a trigonometric equation whose roots are the eigenvalues and perform elementary analysis to obtain an…

We present a method for proving upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian. A main step involves choosing an appropriate "Riemannian" metric to uniformize the geometry of the graph. In many interesting cases, the existence of…

We characterise graphs that have three distinct eigenvalues and coherent ranks 8 and 9, linking the former to certain symmetric 2-designs and the latter to specific quasi-symmetric 2-designs. This characterisation leads to the discovery of…

In 1974 Cvetkovi\'c and Simi\'c showed which graphs $G$ are the bipartite complements of line graphs. In 2002 Borovi\'canin showed which line graphs $L(H)$ have third largest eigenvalue $\lambda_3\leq0$. Our first observation is that two of…

In this paper, we prove that any simple $\{C_3,C_5\}$-free non-empty connected graph $G$ with LLY curvature bounded below by $\kappa>0$ has the order at most $2^{\frac{2}{\kappa}}$. This upper bound is achieved if and only if $G$ is a…

A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m+2n+2$ vertices is said to have property $E(m,n)$ if, for any two disjoint matchings $M$ and $N$ of size $m$ and $n$ respectively, $G$ has a perfect matching $F$ such that $M\subseteq F$ and $N\cap…
