On a compact metric graph, we consider the spectrum of the Laplacian defined with a mix of standard and Dirichlet vertex conditions. A Cheeger-type lower bound on the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ is established, with a constant that depends…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset is called \emph{$1$-nearly independent} if the subgraph it induces contains exactly one edge. Let $\sigma_1(G)$ denote the number of such subsets in $G$. In this paper, we study Nordhaus-Gaddum type…

We apply eigenvalue interlacing techniques for obtaining lower and upper bounds for the sums of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs, and characterize equality. This leads to generalizations of, and variations on theorems by Grone, and Grone and…

On a finite connected metric graph, we establish upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian. These bounds depend on the length, the Betti number, and the number of pendant vertices. For trees, these estimates are sharp. We also…

The Grundy number of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the graph using the first-fit greedy algorithm regardless of the initial vertex ordering. Computing the Grundy number of a graph is an NP-Hard problem.…

Lower bounds for the first and the second eigenvalue of uniform hypergraphs which are regular and linear are obtained. One of these bounds is a generalization of the Alon-Boppana Theorem to hypergraphs.
