An integer of the form $P_8(x)=3x^2-2x$ for some integer $x$ is called a generalized octagonal number. A quaternary sum $\Phi_{a,b,c,d}(x,y,z,t)=aP_8(x)+bP_8(y)+cP_8(z)+dP_8(t)$ of generalized octagonal numbers is called {\it universal} if…

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,…
