The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by keeping the largest nonzero entries in each row and each column, and leaving zeros in the remaining ones. The…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. As is well known, $\rho(G)\geq\frac{2m}{n}$ with equality if and only if $G$ is regular. To…

In 1993 Hong asked what are the best bounds on the $k$'th largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{k}(G)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$. This challenging question has never been tackled for any $2<k<n$. In the present paper tight bounds are obtained for…

We resolve a problem posed by Guiduli (1996) on the spectral radius of graphs satisfying the Hereditarily Bounded Property $P_{t,r}$, which requires that every subgraph $H$ with $|V(H)| \geq t$ satisfies $|E(H)| \leq t|V(H)| + r$. For an…

In tensor eigenvalue problems, one is likely to be more interested in H-eigenvalues of tensors. The largest H-eigenvalue of a nonnegative tensor or of a uniform hypergraph is the spectral radius of the tensor or of the uniform hypergraph.…
