The toughness of a noncomplete graph $G$ is the maximum real number $t$ such that the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$ for every cutset $S$ of $G$, and the toughness of a complete graph is defined to be…

For a graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$, let $i(G)$ be the number of isolated vertices in $G$. The {\it isolated toughness} of $G$ is defined as $I(G) = min\{|S|/i(G-S) : S\subseteq V(G), i(G-S)\geq 2\}$ if $G$ is not complete; $I(G)=|V(G)|-1$…

For any graph $G$ of order $p$, a bijection $f: V(G)\to [1,p]$ is called a numbering of the graph $G$ of order $p$. The strength $str_f(G)$ of a numbering $f: V(G)\to [1,p]$ of $G$ is defined by $str_f(G) = \max\{f(u)+f(v)\; |\; uv\in…

A numbering $f$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is a labeling that assigns distinct elements of the set $\{1,2, \ldots, n \}$ to the vertices of $G$. The strength $\mathrm{str}\left(G\right) $ of $G$ is defined by $\mathrm{str}\left( G\right)…

A graph $G$ is minimally $t$-tough if the toughness of $G$ is $t$ and the deletion of any edge from $G$ decreases the toughness. Kriesell conjectured that for every minimally $1$-tough graph the minimum degree $\delta(G)=2$. We show that in…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, its adjacency matrix and degree diagonal matrix are denoted by $A(G)$ and $D(G)$, respectively. In 2017, Nikiforov \cite{0007} introduced the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$ for…

For a graph $G$, a vertex subset $S$ is called a maximum generalized $k$-independent set if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ does not contain a $k$-tree as its subgraph, and the subset has maximum cardinality. The generalized $k$-independence…

The toughness of a graph $G$, denoted by $\tau(G)$, is defined by $\tau(G)=$min $\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}:S\subseteq V(G)$ and $c(G-S)\geq2\}$. A graph $G$ is said to be $\tau$-tough if $\tau(G)\geq \tau$. Let $k\geq2$ be an integer. A tree $T$…

Let $t$ be a positive real number. A graph is called \emph{$t$-tough} if the removal of any vertex set $S$ that disconnects the graph leaves at most $|S|/t$ components. The toughness of a graph is the largest $t$ for which the graph is…

The Brouwer's toughness conjecture states that every $d$-regular connected graph always has $t(G)>\frac{d}{\lambda}-1$ where $\lambda$ is the second largest absolute eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. In 1988, Enomoto introduced a…

The general spectral radius of a graph $G$, denoted by $\Theta(G,\alpha)$, is the maximal eigenvalue of $M_{\alpha}(G)=A(G)+\alpha D(G)$ $(\alpha\geq 0)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the diagonal matrix of vertex…

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…

Spectral characterization of graphs is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has received a lot of attention from researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard to show a given graph to be determined by its spectrum.…

The study of the existence of hamiltonian cycles in a graph is a classic problem in graph theory. By incorporating toughness and spectral conditions, we can consider Chv\'{a}tal's conjecture from another perspective: what is the spectral…

A graph is $t$-tough if the deletion of any set of, say, $m$ vertices from the graph leaves a graph with at most $\frac{m}{t}$ components. In 1973, Chv\'{a}tal suggested the problem of relating toughness to factors in graphs. In 1985,…

In this work we introduce a concept of complexity for undirected graphs in terms of the spectral analysis of the Laplacian operator defined by the incidence matrix of the graph. Precisely, we compute the norm of the vector of eigenvalues of…

A graph $G$ is said to be determined by its generalized spectrum (DGS for short) if for any graph $H$, $H$ and $G$ are cospectral with cospectral complements implies that $H$ is isomorphic to $G$. It turns out that whether a graph $G$ is…

A graph is called $t$-tough if the removal of any vertex set $S$ that disconnects the graph leaves at most $|S|/t$ components. The toughness of a graph is the largest $t$ for which the graph is $t$-tough. A graph is minimally $t$-tough if…

The toughness of a graph $G$ is defined as the minimum value of $|S|/c(G-S)$ over all cutsets $S$ of $G$ if $G$ is noncomplete, and is defined to be $\infty$ if $G$ is complete. For a real number $t$, we say that $G$ is $t$-tough if its…

A well known upper bound for the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$, due to Cvetkovi\'{c}, is that \begin{equation*} \alpha(G) \le n^0 + \min\{n^+ , n^-\} \end{equation*} where $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ is the inertia of $G$. We prove…
