A graph is said to be (?,?)-bidegreed if vertices all have one of two possible degrees: the maximum degree ? or the minimum degree ?, with ? ? ?. We show that in the set of connected (?,1)- bidegreed graphs, other than trees, with prescribed degree sequence, the graphs minimizing the adjacency matrix spectral radius cannot have vertices adjacent to ? - 1 vertices of degree 1, that is, there are not any hanging trees. Further we consider the limit point for the spectral radius of (?,1)-bidegreed graphs when degree ? vertices are inserted in each edge between any two degree ? vertices.

The spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph. Let $T^*(n,\Delta ,l)$ be the tree which minimizes the spectral radius of all trees of order $n$ with exactly $l$ vertices of maximum degree $\Delta $. In this paper, $T^*(n,\Delta ,l)$ is determined for $\Delta =3$, and for $l\le 3$ and $n$ large enough. It is proven that for sufficiently large $n$, $T^*(n,3,l)$ is a caterpillar with (almost) uniformly distributed legs, $T^*(n,\Delta ,2)$ is a dumbbell, and $T^*(n,\Delta ,3)$ is a tree consisting of three distinct stars of order $\Delta $ connected by three disjoint paths of (almost) equal length from their centers to a common vertex. The unique tree with the largest spectral radius among all such trees is also determined. These extend earlier results of Lov\' asz and Pelik\'an, Simi\' c and To\u si\' c, Wu, Yuan and Xiao, and Xu, Lin and Shu.

<abstract><p>Let $ G $ be a simple graph with edge set $ E(G) $. The modified Sombor index is defined as $ ^{m}SO(G) = \sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}\frac{1}{\sqrt{d_{u}^{2}~~+~~d_{v}^{2}}} $, where $ d_{u} $ (resp. $ d_{v} $) denotes the degree of vertex $ u $ (resp. $ v $). In this paper, we determine some bounds for the modified Sombor indices of graphs with given some parameters (e.g., maximum degree $ \Delta $, minimum degree $ \delta $, diameter $ d $, girth $ g $) and the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results. We also obtain the relationship between modified Sombor index and some other indices. At last, we obtain some bounds for the modified spectral radius and energy.</p></abstract>

Let $G$ be an irregular graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ and diameter $D$. We show that $$ \Delta-\lambda_1>{1\over nD}, $$ where $\lambda_1$ is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. We also study the effect of adding or removing few edges on the spectral radius of a regular graph.

In a simple connected graph, the average 2-degree of a vertex is the average degree of its neighbors. With the average 2-degree sequence and the maximum degree ratio of adjacent vertices, we present a sharp upper bound of the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph, which improves a result in [Y. H. Chen, R. Y. Pan and X. D. Zhang, Two sharp upper bounds for the signless Laplacian spectral radius of graphs, Discrete Math. Algorithms Appl.3(2) (2011) 185–191].

Abstract A tree is a connected acyclic graph. A tree is called a starlike if exactly one of its vertices has degree greater than two. Let λι be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a starlike tree. In this work, we obtain a lower bound for the spectral radius of a starlike tree. This bound only depends of the maximum degree of the vertices.

AbstractWe give asymptotically sharp upper bounds on the radius and diameter of(i) a connected graph,(ii) a connected triangle-free graph,(iii) a connected C4-free graph of given order, minimum degree, and maximum degree.We also give better bounds on the radius and diameter for triangle-free graphs with a given order, minimum degree and a given number of distinct terms in the degree sequence of the graph. Our results improve on old classical theorems by Erd˝os, Pach, Pollack and Tuza [Radius, diameter, and minimum degree, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 47 (1989), 73-79] on radius, diameter and minimum degree.

The p-spectral radius of a graph G=(V,E) with adjacency matrix A is defined as ?(p)(G) = max||x||p=1 xT Ax. This parameter shows connections with graph invariants, and has been used to generalize some extremal problems. In this work, we define the p-spectral radius of the Laplacian matrix L as ?(p)(G) = max||x||p=1 xT Lx. We show that ?(p)(G) relates to invariants such as maximum degree and size of a maximum cut. We also show properties of ?(p)(G) as a function of p, and a upper bound on maxG: |V(G)|=n ?(p)(G) in terms of n = |V| for p > 2, which is attained if n is even.

Let G be a graph on n vertices and m edges, with maximum degree Δ(G) and minimum degree δ(G). Let A be the adjacency matrix of G, and let λ1≥λ2≥…≥λn be the eigenvalues of G. The energy of G, denoted by E(G), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G, that is E(G)=|λ1|+…+|λn|. The energy of G is known to be at least twice the minimum degree of G, E(G)≥2δ(G). Akbari and Hosseinzadeh conjectured that the energy of a graph G whose adjacency matrix is nonsingular is in fact greater than or equal to the sum of the maximum and the minimum degrees of G, i.e., E(G)≥Δ(G)+δ(G). In this paper, we present a proof of this conjecture for hyperenergetic graphs, and we prove an inequality that appears to support the conjectured inequality. Additionally, we derive various lower and upper bounds for E(G). The results rely on elementary inequalities and their application.

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.
