Bounds on Special Subsets in Graphs, Eigenvalues and Association Schemes

چکیده

We give a bound on the sizes of two sets of vertices at a given minimum distance in a graph in terms of polynomials and the Laplace spectrum of the graph. We obtain explicit bounds on the number of vertices at maximal distance and distance two from a given vertex, and on the size of two equally large sets at maximal distance. For graphs with four eigenvalues we find bounds on the number of vertices that are not adjacent to a given vertex and that have μ common neighbours with that vertex. Furthermore we find that the regular graphs for which the bounds are tight come from association schemes.

Sharp Bounds on the PI Spectral Radius

In this paper some upper and lower bounds for the greatest eigenvalues of the PI and vertex PI matrices of a graph G are obtained. Those graphs for which these bounds are best possible are characterized.

On the Pixel Expansion of Hypergraph Access Structures in Visual Cryptography Schemes

In a visual cryptography scheme, a secret image is encoded into n shares, in the form of transparencies. The shares are then distributed to n participants. Qualified subsets of participants can recover the secret image by superimposing their transparencies, but non-qualified subsets of participants have no information about the secret image. Pixel expansion, which represents the number of subpi...

Some remarks on the sum of the inverse values of the normalized signless Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs

Let G=(V,E), $V={v_1,v_2,ldots,v_n}$, be a simple connected graph with $%n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a sequence of vertex degrees $d_1geqd_2geqcdotsgeq d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$. Let ${A}=(a_{ij})_{ntimes n}$ and ${%D}=mathrm{diag }(d_1,d_2,ldots , d_n)$ be the adjacency and the diagonaldegree matrix of $G$, respectively. Denote by ${mathcal{L}^+}(G)={D}^{-1/2}(D+A) {D}^{-1/2}$ the normalized signles...

On net-Laplacian Energy of Signed Graphs

A signed graph is a graph where the edges are assigned either positive ornegative signs. Net degree of a signed graph is the dierence between the number ofpositive and negative edges incident with a vertex. It is said to be net-regular if all itsvertices have the same net-degree. Laplacian energy of a signed graph is defined asε(L(Σ)) =|γ_1-(2m)/n|+...+|γ_n-(2m)/n| where γ_1,...,γ_n are the ei...

Some lower bounds for the $L$-intersection number of graphs

‎For a set of non-negative integers~$L$‎, ‎the $L$-intersection number of a graph is the smallest number~$l$ for which there is an assignment of subsets $A_v subseteq {1,dots‎, ‎l}$ to vertices $v$‎, ‎such that every two vertices $u,v$ are adjacent if and only if $|A_u cap A_v|in L$‎. ‎The bipartite $L$-intersection number is defined similarly when the conditions are considered only for the ver...
