Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_\alpha$-matrix of a graph $G$ as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha…

In a graph G, the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that distinguishes every element of V (G) (resp. E(G)) is called the vertex (resp. edge) metric dimension of G. In [16] it was shown that both vertex and edge metric…

A graph is said to be I-eigenvalue free if it has no eigenvalues in the interval I with respect to the adjacency matrix A. In this paper we present two algorithms for generating I-eigenvalue free threshold graphs.

In this paper, all graphs whose adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) different from $2$ and $-1$ are determined. These graphs conclude a class of generalized friendship graphs $F_{t,r,k}, $ which is the…

In this paper, we focus on the index ( largest eigenvalue) of the adjacency matrix of connected signed graphs. We give some general results on the index when the corresponding signed graph is perturbed. As applications, we determine the…

We initiate a systematic study of eigenvectors of random graphs. Whereas much is known about eigenvalues of graphs and how they reflect properties of the underlying graph, relatively little is known about the corresponding eigenvectors. Our…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$, let $e(G)$ represent the number of its distinct eigenvalues, and let $d$ denote its diameter. We denote the eigenvalue multiplicity of $\mu$ in $G$ by $m_G(\mu)$. It is well established that the…

In 1977 Smith characterized graphs with exactly one positive eigenvalue. Since then, many particular results related to graphs with exactly two positive eigenvalues have emerged. In this paper we conclude this investigation by giving a full…

Suppose $G$ is a connected simple graph with the vertex set $V( G ) = \{ v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n \} $. Let $d_G( v_i,v_j ) $ be the least distance between $v_i$ and $v_j$ in $G$. Then the distance matrix of $G$ is $D( G ) =( d_{ij} ) _{n\times…

A mixed extension of a graph $G$ is a graph $H$ obtained from $G$ by replacing each vertex of $G$ by a clique or a coclique, where vertices of $H$ coming from different vertices of $G$ are adjacent if and only if the original vertices are…
