The energy $E(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of $G$. An $n$-vertex graph is said to be hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n$ and strongly hypoenergetic if $E(G)<n-1$. In this paper, we consider…

We extend the results of Zhang et al. to show that $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of a $k$-uniform hypertree $(k \geq 3)$ if and only if it is a root of a particular matching polynomial for a connected induced subtree. We then use this to…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…
