A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a \emph{$k$-threshold graph} with \emph{thresholds} $\theta_1<\theta_2<...<\theta_k$ if we can assign a real number $r(v)$ to each vertex $v\in V$, such that for any $u,v\in V$, we have $uv\in E$ if and only if…

A graph $G$ is called fractional $[a,b]$-covered if for every edge $e$ of $G$ there is a fractional $[a,b]$-factor with the indicator function $h$ such that $h(e)=1$. In this paper, we provide tight spectral radius conditions for graphs…

A pseudo 2-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph such that each component is $K_1$, $K_2$, or a cycle. This notion was introduced by Bekkai and Kouider in 2009, where they showed that every graph $G$ has a pseudo 2-factor with at most…

A Hamiltonian graph $G$ of order $n$ is $k$-ordered, $2\leq k \leq n$, if for every sequence $v_1, v_2, \ldots ,v_k$ of $k$ distinct vertices of $G$, there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that encounters $v_1, v_2, \ldots , v_k$ in this order.…

A matching in a graph $G$ is a set of independent edges in $G$. A perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a matching which saturates all the vertices of $G$. A fractional perfect matching in a graph $G$ is a function $h:E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$…

A graph $G$ is said to be \emph{determined by its spectrum} if any graph having the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. Let $K_n \setminus P_{\ell}$ be the graph obtained from $K_n$ by removing edges of $P_\ell$, where $P_\ell$ is a…

Let $D(G)$ denote the distance matrix of a connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The distance spectral gap of a graph $G$ is defined as $\delta_{D^G} = \rho_1 - \rho_2$, where $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ represent the largest and second largest…

For $0\leq \alpha < 1$, the $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}$-spectral radius of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ is defined to be the spectral radius of the tensor $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}(G):=\alpha \mathcal{D}(G)+(1-\alpha) \mathcal{A}(G)$, where…

A well known upper bound for the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$, due to Cvetkovi\'{c}, is that \begin{equation*} \alpha(G) \le n^0 + \min\{n^+ , n^-\} \end{equation*} where $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ is the inertia of $G$. We prove…

Let $G$ be a graph and $T$ be a spanning tree of $G$. We use $Q(G)=D(G)+A(G)$ to denote the signless Laplacian matrix of $G$, where $D(G)$ is the diagonal degree matrix of $G$ and $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signless…
