We determine the extremal graph $G$ of order $n$ that maximizes the sum of the spectral radii of $G$ and its complement. This resolves a conjecture posed by Stevanovi\'{c} in 2007.

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $\mu_{1}\left(G\right) \geq \cdots\geq\mu_{n}\left(G\right) $ be the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. This note studies eigenvalue problems of Nordhaus-Gaddum type. Let $\overline{G}$ be the…

Let $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ denote the inertia of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. Nordhaus-Gaddum bounds are known for inertia, except for an upper bound for $n^-$. We conjecture that for any graph \[ n^-(G) + n^-(\bar{G}) \le 1.5(n - 1), \] and…

Terpai [22] proved the Nordhaus-Gaddum bound that $\mu(G) + \mu(\overline{G}) \le 4n/3 - 1$, where $\mu(G)$ is the spectral radius of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. Let $s^+$ denote the sum of the squares of the positive eigenvalues of $G$.…

A Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result is a (tight) lower or upper bound on the sum or product of a parameter of a graph and its complement. In this paper some variations are considered. First, recall their theorem, which gives bounds on the sum and…

Let $G_S$ be the graph obtained by attaching a self-loop at every vertex in $S \subseteq V(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ of order $n.$ In this paper, we explore several new results related to the line graph $L(G_S)$ of $G_S.$ Particularly, we…

Given a graph G of order n and size m, let s(G)= sum|d(u)-2m/n|, where the sum is taken over all vertices u of G. We investigate upper and lower bounds on eigenvalues of G in terms of s(G).

We study the number of lines in hypergraphs in a more symmetric setting, where both the hypergraph and its complement are considered. In the general case and in some special cases, the lower bounds on the number of lines are much higher…
