Eigenvalues of a graph are the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The multiset of eigenvalues is called its spectrum. There are many properties which can be explained using the spectrum like energy, connectedness, vertex connectivity, chromatic number, perfect matching etc. Laplacian spectrum is the multiset of eigenvalues of Laplacian matrix. The Laplacian energy of a graph is the sum of the...

Let G = (V,E) be a graph without loops and multiple edges. Let n and m be the number of vertices and edges of G, respectively. Such a graph will be referred to as an (n,m)-graph. For v ∈ V (G), let d(v) be the degree of v. In this paper, we are concerned only with undirected simple graphs (loops and multiple edges are not allowed). Let G be a graph with n vertices and the adjacency matrix A(G)....

The purpose of this paper is to discuss spectral bounds on the chromatic number of a graph. The classic result by Hoffman, where λ1 and λn are respectively the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph G, is χ(G) ≥ 1− λ1 λn . It is possible to discuss the coloring of Hermitian matrices in general. Nikiforov developed a spectral bound on the chromatic number of such matr...

The undirected power graph of a finite group $G$, $P(G)$, is a graph with the group elements of $G$ as vertices and two vertices are adjacent if and only if one of them is a power of the other. Let $A$ be an adjacency matrix of $P(G)$. An eigenvalue $lambda$ of $A$ is a main eigenvalue if the eigenspace $epsilon(lambda)$ has an eigenvector $X$ such that $X^{t}jjneq 0$, where $jj$ is the all-one...

The energy of a graph was introduced by Gutman in 1978 as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs. These are Cayley graphs on cyclic groups (i.e. there adjacency matrix is circulant) each of whose eigenvalues is an integer. Given an arbitrary prime power p, we determine all integral circu...

The energy of signed graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Two signed graphs are said to be equienergetic if they have same energy. In the literature the construction of equienergetic signed graphs are reported. In this paper we obtain the characteristic polynomial and energy of the join of two signed graphs and thereby we give another construction ...

An oriented hypergraph is a hypergraph where each vertex-edge incidence is given a label of +1 or −1. The adjacency and Laplacian eigenvalues of an oriented hypergraph are studied. Eigenvalue bounds for both the adjacency and Laplacian matrices of an oriented hypergraph which depend on structural parameters of the oriented hypergraph are found. An oriented hypergraph and its incidence dual are ...

Spectral graph theory is the study of properties of the Laplacian matrix or adjacency matrix associated with a graph. In this paper, we focus on the connection between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix and graph connectivity. Also, we use the adjacency matrix of a graph to count the number of simple paths of length up to 3.
