The second-largest eigenvalue and second-smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph are measures of its connectivity. These eigenvalues can be used to analyze the robustness, resilience, and synchronizability of networks, and are related to…

Among all simple 2-connected graphs, and among all $\theta$-graphs, the graphs with the minimum algebraic connectivity are completely determined, respectively.

Let $\mu_2(G)$ be the second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph $G$. The vertex connectivity of $G$, written $\kappa(G)$, is the minimum size of a vertex set $S$ such that $G-S$ is disconnected. Fiedler proved that $\mu_2(G) \le…

For any real $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_\alpha$-matrix of a graph $G$ as $A_\alpha(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of $G$,…

Hoffman proved that for a simple graph $G$, the chromatic number $\chi(G)$ obeys $\chi(G) \le 1 - \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_{n}}$ where $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_n$ are the maximal and minimal eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$…

This work presents conjectures about eigenvalues of matrices associated with $k$-path graphs, the algebraic connectivity, defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, and the $\alpha$-index, as the largest eigenvalue…

Let X(G) denote the flag complex of a graph G=(V,E) on n vertices. We study relations between the first eigenvalues of successive higher Laplacians of X(G). One consequence is the following result: Let \lambda_2(G) denote the second…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a connected graph with minimum degree $\delta$ and Laplacian eigenvalues $0=\mu_1<\mu_2\leqslant \cdots \leqslant \mu_n$, then the toughness of $\Gamma$ is bounded below by $\mu_2/(\mu_n-\delta)$.

The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

We use two variational techniques to prove upper bounds for sums of the lowest several eigenvalues of matrices associated with finite, simple, combinatorial graphs. These include estimates for the adjacency matrix of a graph and for both…

In 1979, Neumaier gave a bound on $\lambda$ in terms of $m$ and $\mu$, where $-m$ is the smallest eigenvalue of a primitive strongly regular graph, unless the graph in question belongs to one of the two infinite families of strongly regular…

We determine all graphs for which the adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) not equal to $-2$, or $0$, and determine which of these graphs are determined by their adjacency spectrum.

We show that every $3$-connected $K_{2,\ell}$-minor free graph with minimum degree at least $4$ has maximum degree at most $7\ell$. As a consequence, we show that every 3-connected $K_{2,\ell}$-minor free graph with minimum degree at least…

We consider the graph whose vertex set is a conjugacy class ${\mathcal C}$ consisting of finite-rank self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$. The dimension of $H$ is assumed to be not less than $3$. In the case when operators…

A theorem of Hoffman gives an upper bound on the independence ratio of regular graphs in terms of the minimum $\lambda_{\min}$ of the spectrum of the adjacency matrix. To complement this result we use random eigenvectors to gain lower…

In 1995, Brouwer proved that the toughness of a connected $k$-regular graph $G$ is at least $k/\lambda-2$, where $\lambda$ is the maximum absolute value of the non-trivial eigenvalues of $G$. Brouwer conjectured that one can improve this…

A graph $ G $ is minimally $ t $-tough if the toughness of $ G $ is $ t $ and deletion of any edge from $ G $ decreases its toughness. Katona et al. conjectured that the minimum degree of any minimally $ t $-tough graph is $ \lceil 2t\rceil…

We investigate the question how `small' a graph can be, if it contains all members of a given class of locally finite graphs as subgraphs or induced subgraphs. More precisely, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of…

In this paper, we completely characterize the graphs with third largest distance eigenvalue at most $-1$ and smallest distance eigenvalue at least $-3$. In particular, we determine all graphs whose distance matrices have exactly two…

A graph $ G $ is minimally $ t $-tough if the toughness of $ G $ is $ t $ and deletion of any edge from $ G $ decreases its toughness. Katona et al. conjectured that the minimum degree of any minimally $ t $-tough graph is $ \lceil 2t\rceil…
