We consider symmetric powers of a graph. In particular, we show that the spectra of the symmetric square of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters are equal. We also provide some bounds on the spectra of the symmetric squares of…
We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of…
A statistical network model with overlapping communities can be generated as a superposition of mutually independent random graphs of varying size. The model is parameterized by the number of nodes, the number of communities, and the joint…
Lattice structures play a central role in spectral graph theory, offering analytical insight into diffusion, synchronization, and transport processes on regular discrete spaces. While their spectral properties are completely characterized…
We describe, in a very explicit way, a method for determining the spectra and bases of all the corresponding eigenspaces of arbitrary lifts of graphs (regular or not).
The notions of spectral measures and spectral classes, which are well known for graphs, are generalized and investigated for oriented hypergraphs.
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
In this paper, we give some bounds for principal eigenvector and spectral radius of connected uniform hypergraphs in terms of vertex degrees, the diameter, and the number of vertices and edges.
We discuss spectral properties of a charged quantum particle confined to a chain graph consisting of an infinite array of rings under influence of a magnetic field assuming a $\delta$-coupling at the points where the rings touch. We start…
An overlap representation is an assignment of sets to the vertices of a graph in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the sets assigned to them overlap. The overlap number of a graph is the minimum number of elements…
The relation between densities of cycles and the spectrum of a graphon, which implies that the spectra of convergent graphons converge, fundamentally relies on the self-adjointness of the linear operator associated with a graphon. In this…
We are interested in the general question: to what extent are the spectral properties of a graph connected to the distance function? Our motivation is a concrete example of this question that is due to Steinerberger. We provide some…
It is known that non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs with the same parameters must be cospectral (have the same eigenvalues). In this paper, we investigate whether the spectra of higher order Laplacians associated with these graphs can…
A pancyclic graph is a graph that contains cycles of all possible lengths from three up to the number of vertices in the graph. In this paper, we establish some new sufficient conditions for a graph to be pancyclic in terms of the edge…
Let $H_{s,t_1,\ldots ,t_k}$ be the graph with $s$ triangles and $k$ odd cycles of lengths $t_1,\ldots ,t_k\ge 5$ intersecting in exactly one common vertex. Recently, Hou, Qiu and Liu [Discrete Math. 341 (2018) 126--137], and Yuan [J. Graph…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
It is shown how to construct a clique graph in which properties of cliques of a fixed order in a given graph are represented by vertices in a weighted graph. Various definitions and motivations for these weights are given. The detection of…
The best degree-based upper bound for the spectral radius is due to Liu and Weng. This paper begins by demonstrating that a (forgotten) upper bound for the spectral radius dating from 1983 is equivalent to their much more recent bound. This…
The clique vector $\mathfrak{c}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the sequence $(c_1, c_2, \ldots,c_d)$ in $\mathbb{N}^d$, where $c_i$ is the number of cliques in $G$ with $i$ vertices and $d$ is the largest cardinality of a clique in $G$. In this…
A factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph. Spectral sufficient conditions are provided via spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius for graphs with (i) a matching of given size (particularly, $1$-factor) containing any given…
