Let $\lambda^{*}$ be the maximum spectral radius of connected irregular graphs on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$. Liu, Shen and Wang (2007) conjectured that $\lim_{n\rightarrow…

The eccentricity matrix $\mathcal E(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by leaving unchanged the largest nonzero entries in each row and each column, and replacing the remaining ones with zeros. In this…

The imbalance of an edge $e=\{u,v\}$ in a graph is defined as $i(e)=|d(u)-d(v)|$, where $d(\cdot)$ is the vertex degree. The irregularity $I(G)$ of $G$ is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. This concept was…

We study both $H$ and $E/Z$-eigenvalues of the adjacency tensor of a uniform multi-hypergraph and give conditions for which the largest positive $H$ or $Z$-eigenvalue corresponds to a strictly positive eigenvector. We also investigate when…

Let $Q(G)=D(G)+A(G)$ be the signless Laplacian matrix of a simple graph of order $n$, where $D(G)$ and $A(G)$ are the degree diagonal matrix and the adjacency matrix of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we present a sharp upper bound for…

The binding number of a graph $G$, written as $\mbox{bind}(G)$, is defined by $$ \mbox{bind}(G)=\min\left\{\frac{|N_G(X)|}{|X|}:\emptyset\neq X\subseteq V(G),N_G(X)\neq V(G)\right\}. $$ A graph $G$ is called $r$-binding if…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ with $n\geq25$. A $\{P_3,P_4,P_5\}$-factor is a spanning subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that every component of $H$ is isomorphic to an element of $\{P_3,P_4,P_5\}$. Nikiforov introduced the…

For a $hypergraph$ $\mathcal{G}=(V, E)$ consisting of a nonempty vertex set $V=V(\mathcal{G})$ and an edge set $E=E(\mathcal{G})$, its $adjacency$ $matrix$ $\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}}=[(\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}})_{ij}]$ is defined as…

In this paper, we study the energy of semigraphs and obtain some bounds, and show that one of the bounds is tight. We also study the spectra of the adjacency matrix of a special type of rooted 3-uniform semigraph and enumerate those…

The following question was raised by Tuza in 1990 and Erdos et al. in 1992: if every edge of an n-vertex chordal graph G is contained in a clique of size at least four, does G have a clique transversal, i.e., a set of vertices meeting all…

Write $\rho\left( G\right) $ for the spectral radius of a graph $G$ and $S_{n,r}$ for the join $K_{r}\vee\overline{K}_{n-r}.$ Let $n>r\geq2$ and $G$ be a $K_{r+1}$-saturated graph of order $n.$ Recently Kim, Kim, Kostochka, and O determined…

Let $G$ denote a bipartite graph with $e$ edges without isolated vertices. It was known that the spectral radius of $G$ is at most the square root of $e$, and the upper bound is attained if and only if $G$ is a complete bipartite graph.…

The arithmetic-geometric matrix $A_{ag}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is a square matrix, where the $(i,j)$-entry is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{d_{i}+d_{j}}{2\sqrt{d_{i}d_{j}}}$ if the vertices $v_{i}$ and $v_{j}$ are adjacent, and 0 otherwise. The…

The secular manifold $\Sigma_G$ and its singularities are intimately related to the spectra of metric graphs $(G,\ell)$. In this paper, we present a complete description of the singular locus for tree graphs, and confirm that it agrees with…

Let $G$ be a connected claw-free graph on $n$ vertices and $\overline{G}$ be its complement graph. Let $\mu(G)$ be the spectral radius of $G$. Denote by $N_{n-3,3}$ the graph consisting of $K_{n-3}$ and three disjoint pendent edges. In this…

In this paper, we present several upper bounds for the adjacency and signless Laplacian spectral radii of uniform hypergraphs in terms of degree sequences.

The well known Mantel's Theorem states that a graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges contains a triangle if $m>\frac{n^2}{4}$. Nosal proved that every graph on $m$ edges contains a triangle if the spectral radius $\lambda_1>\sqrt{m}$, which is…

Let $G$ be a finite connected graph on two or more vertices and $G^{[N,k]}$ the distance $k$-graph of the $N$-fold Cartesian power of $G$. For a fixed $k\ge1$, we obtain explicitly the large $N$ limit of the spectral distribution (the…

The smallest number of cliques, covering all edges of a graph $ G $, is called the (edge) clique cover number of $ G $ and is denoted by $ cc(G) $. It is an easy observation that for every line graph $ G $ with $ n $ vertices, $cc(G)\leq n…

A spanning tree $T$ of a connected graph $G$ is a subgraph of $G$ that is a tree covers all vertices of $G$. The leaf distance of $T$ is defined as the minimum of distances between any two leaves of $T$. A fractional matching of a graph $G$…
