A vertex $v \in V(G)$ is called $\lambda$-main if it belongs to a star set $X \subset V(G)$ of the eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a graph $G$ and this eigenvalue is main for the graph obtained from $G$ by deleting all the vertices in $X \setminus…
Given a graph $G$, one may ask: "What sets of eigenvalues are possible over all weighted adjacency matrices of $G$?" (The weight of an edge is positive or negative, while the diagonal entries can be any real numbers.) This is known as the…
The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$ is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by retaining the largest distances in each row and each column, and setting the remaining entries as $0$. In this article, a conjecture about the…
