We establish new bounds on the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues among real symmetric matrices with nonzero off-diagonal pattern described by the edges of a graph and apply these to determine the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and size $m$, and let $\mathrm{mc}_{k}\left( G\right) $ be the maximum size of a $k$-cut of $G.$ It is shown that \[ \mathrm{mc}_{k}\left( G\right) \leq\frac{k-1}{k}\left( m-\frac{\mu_{\min }\left( G\right)…

The goal of this expository note is to give a short, self-contained proof of nearly optimal lower bounds for the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of regular graphs.

In this paper, we study the non-bipartite distance-regular graphs with valency k and having a smallest eigenvalue at most -k/2.

Let $G$ be a graph, and let $\lambda(G)$ denote the smallest eigenvalue of $G$. First, we provide an upper bound for $\lambda(G)$ based on induced bipartite subgraphs of $G$. Consequently, we extract two other upper bounds, one relying on…

Let $NPO(k)$ be the smallest number $n$ such that the adjacency matrix of any undirected graph with $n$ vertices or more has at least $k$ nonpositive eigenvalues. We show that $NPO(k)$ is well-defined and prove that the values of $NPO(k)$…

The minimum number of distinct eigenvalues, taken over all real symmetric matrices compatible with a given graph $G$, is denoted by $q(G)$. Using other parameters related to $G$, bounds for $q(G)$ are proven and then applied to deduce…

Sharp bounds on the least eigenvalue of an arbitrary graph are presented. Necessary and sufficient (just sufficient) conditions for the lower (upper) bound to be attained are deduced using edge clique partitions. As an application, we prove…

We provide upper and lower bounds on the smallest eigenvalue of grounded Laplacian matrices (which are matrices obtained by removing certain rows and columns of the Laplacian matrix of a given graph). The gap between the upper and lower…

Given a simple graph $G$, its $A_\alpha$ matrix is a convex combination with parameter $\alpha\in [0,1]$ of its adjacency matrix and its degree diagonal matrices. Here we compare two lower bounds presented in [J. D. G. Silva Jr., C. S.…

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…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$, signless Laplacian matrix $Q(G)$, degree diagonal matrix $D(G)$ and let $l(G)$ be the line graph of $G$. In 2017, Nikiforov defined the $A_\alpha$-matrix of $G$, $A_\alpha(G)$, as a…

In this note, we use eigenvalue interlacing to derive an inequality between the maximum degree of a graph and its maximum and minimum adjacency eigenvalues. The case of equality is fully characterized.

In 2017, Nikiforov introduced the concept of the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix, as a linear convex combination of the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of a graph. This matrix has attracted increasing attention in recent years, as it…

Let $G$ be a connected hypergraph with even uniformity, which contains cut vertices. Then $G$ is the coalescence of two nontrivial connected sub-hypergraphs (called branches) at a cut vertex. Let $\mathcal{A}(G)$ be the adjacency tensor of…

We study the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues over a collection of matrices associated with a graph. Lower bounds are derived based on the existence or non-existence of certain cycle(s) in a graph. A key result proves that every…

This paper deals with the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices of threshold graphs for which $-1$ and $0$ are considered as trivial eigenvalues. We show that threshold graphs have no non-trivial eigenvalues in the interval…

Suppose that $G$ is a connected simple graph with the vertex set $V(G)=\{v_1, v_2,\cdots,v_n\}$. Then the adjacency matrix of $G$ is $A(G)=(a_{ij})_{n\times n}$, where $a_{ij}=1$ if $v_i$ is adjacent to $v_j$, and otherwise $a_{ij}=0$. The…

Given a locally finite simple graph so that its degree is not bounded, every self-adjoint realization of the adjacency matrix is unbounded from above. In this note we give an optimal condition to ensure it is also unbounded from below. We…

Let $q_{\min}(G)$ stand for the smallest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of a graph $G$ of order $n.$ This paper gives some results on the following extremal problem: How large can $q_\min\left( G\right) $ be if $G$ is a graph of order…
