For a graph $G$, the generalized adjacency matrix $A_\alpha(G)$ is the convex combination of the diagonal matrix $D(G)$ and the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and is defined as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha) A(G)$ for $0\leq \alpha \leq 1$.…
A $\mathbb{T}$-gain graph, $\Phi = (G, \varphi)$, is a graph in which the function $\varphi$ assigns a unit complex number to each orientation of an edge, and its inverse is assigned to the opposite orientation. The associated adjacency…
We establish a lower bound for the energy of a complex unit gain graph in terms of the matching number of its underlying graph, and characterize all the complex unit gain graphs whose energy reaches this bound.
A graph $G$ is \emph{nonsingular (singular)} if its adjacency matrix $A(G)$ is nonsingular (singular). In this article, we consider the nonsingularity of block graphs, i.e., graphs in which every block is a clique. Extending the problem, we…
We normalize the combinatorial Laplacian of a graph by the degree sum, look at its eigenvalues as a probability distribution and then study its Shannon entropy. Equivalently, we represent a graph with a quantum mechanical state and study…
The matching energy is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the zeros of the matching polynomial of a graph, which is proposed first by Gutman and Wagner [The matching energy of a graph, Discrete Appl. Math. 160 (2012) 2177--2187].…
A graph homomorphism from the rooted $d$-branching tree $\phi: T^d \to H$ is said to be cold if the values of $\phi$ for vertices arbitrarily far away from the root can restrict the value of $\phi$ at the root. Warmth is a graph parameter…
This survey paper deals with upper and lower bounds on the number of $k$-matchings in regular graphs on $N$ vertices. For the upper bounds we recall the upper matching conjecture which is known to hold for perfect matchings. For the lower…
The stability number of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is the cardinality of a maximum stable set, and mu(G) is the cardinality of a maximum matching in G. If alpha(G) + mu(G) equals its order, then G is a Koenig-Egervary graph. We call G…
In this paper, we study the energy of semigraphs and obtain some bounds, and show that one of the bounds is tight. We also study the spectra of the adjacency matrix of a special type of rooted 3-uniform semigraph and enumerate those…
The magnitude of a graph is one of a family of cardinality-like invariants extending across mathematics; it is a cousin to Euler characteristic and geometric measure. Among its cardinality-like properties are multiplicativity with respect…
These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.
We identify a set of quantum graphs with unique and precisely defined spectral properties called {\it regular quantum graphs}. Although chaotic in their classical limit with positive topological entropy, regular quantum graphs are…
The resolvent energy of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is defined as $ER=\sum_{i=1}^n (n-\lambda_i)^{-1}$, where $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_n$ are the eigenvalues of $G$. In a recent work [Gutman et al., {\it MATCH Commun. Math. Comput.…
We have generalised the concept of graph states to what we have called mixed graph states, which we define in terms of mixed graphs, that is graphs with both directed and undirected edges, as the density matrix stabilized by the associated…
The stable matching problem is a prototype model in economics and social sciences where agents act selfishly to optimize their own satisfaction, subject to mutually conflicting constraints. A stable matching is a pairing of adjacent…
The trace norm $\left\Vert G\right\Vert _{\ast}$ of a graph $G$ is the sum of its singular values, i.e., the absolute values of its eigenvalues. The norm $\left\Vert G\right\Vert _{\ast}$ has been intensively studied under the name of graph…
We investigate the stability and electronic properties of single Co atoms on graphene with near-exact many-body calculations. A frozen-orbital embedding scheme was combined with auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo to increase the reach in…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
