For a graph $G$, its spectral radius is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. A fan $H_{\ell}$ is a graph obtained by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a path of order $\ell\geq4$. Let ${\rm SPEX(n,H_{\ell})}$ be the…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and $v_{i}\in V$, denote by $d_{v_{i}}$ (or $d_{i}$ for short) the degree of vertex $v_{i}$. The $p$-Sombor matrix $\textbf{S}_{\textbf{p}}(G)$ ($p\neq0$) of a graph $G$ is a square matrix, where the $(i,j)$-entry is…

The spectral Tur\'an number $\spex(n, F)$ denotes the maximum spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ of order $n$. This paper determines $\spex\left(n, C_{2k+1}^{\square}\right)$ for all sufficiently large $n$, establishing the…

Let $\emph{spex}_{\mathcal{OP}}(n,F)$ and $\emph{spex}_{\mathcal{P}}(n,F)$ be the maximum spectral radius over all $n$-vertex $F$-free outerplanar graphs and planar graphs, respectively. Define $tC_l$ as $t$ vertex-disjoint $l$-cycles,…

The $(k,r)$-fan is the graph consisting of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_r$ which intersect in a single vertex, and is denoted by $F_{k,r}$. Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Gould and Gunderson [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 64 (1995) 89--100]…

For a cycle $C_k$ on $k$ vertices, its $p$-th power, denoted $C_k^p$, is the graph obtained by adding edges between all pairs of vertices at distance at most $p$ in $C_k$. Let $\ex(n, F)$ and $\spex(n, F)$ denote the maximum possible number…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$, and let $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ be the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix of $G$ respectively. Define the convex linear combinations $A_\alpha (G)$ of $A (G)$ and $D (G) $ by $$A_\alpha (G)=\alpha…

Let ${\rm EX}(n,H)$ and ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)$ denote the families of $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs with the maximum size and the maximum spectral radius, respectively. A graph $H$ is said to be spectral-consistent if ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)\subseteq {\rm…

A graph is sad to be $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $H(k,3)$ be the graph formed by taking a cycle of length $k$ and a triangle on a common vertex. Li, Lu and Peng [Discrete Math. 346 (2023) 113680] proved that if…

A graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The fish graph, denoted by $H(4, 3)$, is a $6-$vertex graph obtained from a cycle of length $4$ and a triangle by sharing a common vertex. Earlier it is…

Nikiforov (LAA, 2010) conjectured that for given integer $k$, any graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with spectral radius $\mu(G)\geq \mu(S_{n,k})$ contains all trees of order $2k+2$, unless $G=S_{n,k}$, where $S_{n,k}=K_k\vee…

It is well known that the spectral radius of a tree whose maximum degree is $D$ cannot exceed $2\sqrt{D-1}$. In this paper we derive similar bounds for arbitrary planar graphs and for graphs of bounded genus. It is proved that a the…

The spectral radius and rank of a graph are defined to be the spectral radius and rank of its adjacency matrix, respectively. It is an important problem in spectral extremal graph theory to determine the extremal graph that has the maximum…

For a graph $G$, its spectral radius $\rho(G)$ is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a finite family of graphs with $\min_{F\in \mathcal{F}}\chi(F)=r+1\geq3$, where $\chi(F)$ is the chromatic number of $F$.…

Let $\mu(G)$ denote the spectral radius of a graph $G$. We partly confirm a conjecture due to Nikiforov, which is a spectral radius analogue of the well-known Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture that any tree of order $t$ is contained in a graph of…

Given a graph $H$, a graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. A graph is color-critical when it has an edge whose removal leads to a reduction in its chromatic number. For a graph $H$ with a chromatic number of…

It is well-known that the Brualdi-Hoffman-Tur\'an-type problem inquiries about the maximum spectral radius \( \lambda(G) \) of an \( F \)-free graph \( G \) with \( m \) edges. Let \( \theta_{1,p,q} \) denote the theta graph, which is…

Let $\mathrm{ex}(n, F)$ and $\mathrm{spex}(n, F)$ be the maximum size and spectral radius among all $F$-free graphs with fixed order $n$, respectively. A fan is a graph $P_1\vee P_{s}$ (join of a vertex and a path of order $s$) for $s\ge…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of size $m$. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$ and let $\rho(G)$ be the spectral radius of $G$. A graph is said to be $H$-free if it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $H(\ell,3)$ be…

Let $F_l$ be the fan graph obtained by joining a vertex with a path on $l-1$ vertices. Yu, Li and Peng [Discrete Math. 346 (2023)] conjectured that if the number of edges of $G$ is $m$ and the spectral radius…
