Spectral radius of graphs with given size and odd girth

Let $\mathcal{G}(m,k)$ be the set of graphs with size $m$ and odd girth (the length of shortest odd cycle) $k$. In this paper, we determine the graph maximizing the spectral radius among $\mathcal{G}(m,k)$ when $m$ is odd. As byproducts, we show that, there is a number $η(m)>\sqrt{m-k+3}$ such that every non-bipartite graph $G$ with size $m$ and spectral radius $ρ\ge η(m)$ must contains an odd cycle of length less than $k$ unless $m$ is odd and $G\cong SK_{k,m}$, which is the graph obtained by subdividing an edge $k-2$ times of complete bipartite $K_{2,\frac{m-k+2}{2}}$. This result implies the main results of [Discrete Math. 345 (2022)] and \cite{li-peng}, and settles the conjecture in \cite{li-peng} as well.

Spectral radius and (globally) rigidity of graphs in $R^2$

Over the past half century, the rigidity of graphs in $R^2$ has aroused a great deal of interest. Lovász and Yemini (1982) proved that every $6$-connected graph is rigid in $R^2$. Jackson and Jordán (2005) provided a similar vertex-connectivity condition for the globally rigidity of graphs in $R^2$. These results imply that a graph $G$ with algebraic connectivity $μ(G)>5$ is (globally) rigid in $R^2$. Cioabă, Dewar and Gu (2021) improved this bound, and proved that a graph $G$ with minimum degree $δ\geq 6$ is rigid in $R^2$ if $μ(G)>2+\frac{1}{δ-1}$, and is globally rigid in $R^2$ if $μ(G)>2+\frac{2}{δ-1}$. In this paper, we study the (globally) rigidity of graphs in $R^2$ from the viewpoint of adjacency eigenvalues. Specifically, we provide sufficient conditions for a 2-connected (resp. 3-connected) graph with given minimum degree to be rigid (resp. globally rigid) in terms of the spectral radius. Furthermore, we determine the unique graph attaining the maximum spectral radius among all minimally rigid graphs of order $n$.

On distance-regular Cayley graphs of generalized dicyclic groups

Let $G$ be a generalized dicyclic group with identity $1$. An inverse closed subset $S$ of $G\setminus\{1\}$ is called minimal if $\langle S\rangle=G$ and there exists some $s\in S$ such that $\langle S\setminus\{s,s^{-1}\} \rangle\neq G$. In this paper, we characterize distance-regular Cayley graphs $\mathrm{Cay}(G,S)$ of $G$ under the condition that $S$ is minimal.

Splitting fields of mixed Cayley graphs over abelian groups

The splitting field $\mathbb{SF}(Γ)$ of a mixed graph $Γ$ is the smallest field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ which contains all eigenvalues of the Hermitian adjacency matrix of $Γ$. The extension degree $[\mathbb{SF}(Γ):\mathbb{Q}]$ is called the algebraic degree of $Γ$. In this paper, we determine the splitting fields and algebraic degrees of mixed Cayley graphs over abelian groups. This generalizes the main results of [K. Mönius, Splitting fields of spectra of circulant graphs, J. Algebra 594(15) (2022) 154--169] and [M. Kadyan, B. Bhattacharjya, Integral mixed Cayley graphs over abelian groups, Electron. J. Combin. 28(4) (2021) \#P4.46].

Distance-regular Cayley graphs over dicyclic groups

The characterization of distance-regular Cayley graphs originated from the problem of identifying strongly regular Cayley graphs, or equivalently, regular partial difference sets. In this paper, a classification of distance-regular Cayley graphs on dicyclic groups is obtained. More specifically, it is shown that every distance-regular Cayley graph on a dicyclic group is a complete graph, a complete multipartite graph, or a non-antipodal bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter $3$ satisfying some additional conditions.

On graphs with exactly two positive eigenvalues

The inertia of a graph $G$ is defined to be the triplet $In(G) = (p(G), n(G), $ $η(G))$, where $p(G)$, $n(G)$ and $η(G)$ are the numbers of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues (including multiplicities) of the adjacency matrix $A(G)$, respectively. Traditionally $p(G)$ (resp. $n(G)$) is called the positive (resp. negative) inertia index of $G$. In this paper, we introduce three types of congruent transformations for graphs that keep the positive inertia index and negative inertia index. By using these congruent transformations, we determine all graphs with exactly two positive eigenvalues and one zero eigenvalue.

The $A_α$-spectral radius and perfect matchings of graphs

Let $α\in[0,1)$, and let $G$ be a graph of even order $n$ with $n\geq f(α)$, where $f(α)=10$ for $0\leq α\leq1/2$, $f(α)=14$ for $1/2<α\leq 2/3$ and $f(α)=5/(1-α)$ for $2/3<α<1$. In this paper, it is shown that if the $A_α$-spectral radius of $G$ is not less than the largest root of $x^3 - ((α+ 1)n +α-4)x^2 + (αn^2 + (α^2 - 2α- 1)n - 2α+1)x -α^2n^2 + (5α^2 - 3α+ 2)n - 10α^2 + 15α- 8=0$ then $G$ has a perfect matching unless $G=K_1\nabla(K_{n-3}\cup 2K_1)$. This generalizes a result of S. O [Spectral radius and matchings in graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 614 (2021) 316--324], which gives a sufficient condition for the existence of a perfect matching in a graph in terms of the adjacency spectral radius.

The signless Laplacian spectral radius of graphs with no intersecting triangles

Let $F_k$ denote the $k$-fan consisting of $k$ triangles which intersect in exactly one common vertex, and $S_{n,k}$ the complete split graph of order $n$ consisting of a clique on $k$ vertices and an independent set on the remaining vertices in which each vertex of the clique is adjacent to each vertex of the independent set. In this paper, it is shown that $S_{n,k}$ is the unique graph attaining the maximum signless Laplacian spectral radius among all graphs of order $n$ containing no $F_k$, provided that $k\geq 2$ and $n\geq 3k^2-k-2$.

The maximum spectral radius of wheel-free graphs

A wheel graph is a graph formed by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a cycle. A graph is called wheel-free if it does not contain any wheel graph as a subgraph. In 2010, Nikiforov proposed a Brualdi-Solheid-Turán type problem: what is the maximum spectral radius of a graph of order $n$ that does not contain subgraphs of particular kind. In this paper, we study the Brualdi-Solheid-Turán type problem for wheel-free graphs, and we determine the maximum (signless Laplacian) spectral radius of a wheel-free graph of order $n$. Furthermore, we characterize the extremal graphs.

The spectrum and automorphism group of the set-inclusion graph

Let $n$, $k$ and $l$ be integers with $1\leq k<l\leq n-1$. The set-inclusion graph $G(n,k,l)$ is the graph whose vertex set consists of all $k$- and $l$-subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, where two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is contained in another. In this paper, we determine the spectrum and automorphism group of $G(n,k,l)$, respectively.

Signless Laplacian eigenvalue problems of Nordhaus-Gaddum type

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$, and let $q_1(G)\geq q_2(G)\geq\cdots\geq q_n(G)$ denote the signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$. Ashraf and Tayfeh-Rezaie [Electron. J. Combin. 21 (3) (2014) \#P3.6] showed that $q_1(G)+q_1(\overline{G})\leq 3n-4$, with equality holding if and only if $G$ or $\overline{G}$ is the star $K_{1,n-1}$. In this paper, we discuss the following problem: for $n\geq6$, does $q_2(G)+q_2(\overline{G})\leq 2n-5$ always hold? We provide positive answers to this problem for the graphs with disconnected complements and the bipartite graphs, and determine the graphs attaining the bound. Moreover, we show that $q_2(G)+q_2(\overline{G})\geq n-2$, and the extremal graphs are also characterized.

The second largest eigenvalues of some Cayley graphs on alternating groups

Let $A_n$ denote the alternating group of degree $n$ with $n\geq 3$. The alternating group graph $AG_n$, extended alternating group graph $EAG_n$ and complete alternating group graph $CAG_n$ are the Cayley graphs $\mathrm{Cay}(A_n,T_1)$, $\mathrm{Cay}(A_n,T_2)$ and $\mathrm{Cay}(A_n,T_3)$, respectively, where $T_1=\{(1,2,i),(1,i,2)\mid 3\leq i\leq n\}$, $T_2=\{(1,i,j),(1,j,i)\mid 2\leq i<j\leq n\}$ and $T_3=\{(i,j,k),(i,k,j)\mid 1\leq i<j<k\leq n\}$. In this paper, we determine the second largest eigenvalues of $AG_n$, $EAG_n$ and $CAG_n$.

The second eigenvalue of some normal Cayley graphs of high transitive groups

Let $Γ$ be a finite group acting transitively on $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, and let $G=\mathrm{Cay}(Γ,T)$ be a Cayley graph of $Γ$. The graph $G$ is called normal if $T$ is closed under conjugation. In this paper, we obtain an upper bound for the second (largest) eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph $G$ in terms of the second eigenvalues of certain subgraphs of $G$ (see Theorem 2.6). Using this result, we develop a recursive method to determine the second eigenvalues of certain Cayley graphs of $S_n$ and we determine the second eigenvalues of a majority of the connected normal Cayley graphs (and some of their subgraphs) of $S_n$ with $\max_{τ\in T}|\mathrm{supp}(τ)|\leq 5$, where $\mathrm{supp}(τ)$ is the set of points in $[n]$ non-fixed by $τ$.

Graphs with at most three distance eigenvalues different from $-1$ and $-2$

Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices, and let $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$. Let $\partial_1(G)\ge\partial_2(G)\ge\cdots\ge\partial_n(G)$ denote the eigenvalues of $D(G)$. In this paper, we characterize all connected graphs with $\partial_{3}(G)\leq -1$ and $\partial_{n-1}(G)\geq -2$. By the way, we determine all connected graphs with at most three distance eigenvalues different from $-1$ and $-2$.

Automorphism group of the complete alternating group graph

Let $S_n$ and $A_n$ denote the symmetric group and alternating group of degree $n$ with $n\geq 3$, respectively. Let $S$ be the set of all $3$-cycles in $S_n$. The \emph{complete alternating group graph}, denoted by $CAG_n$, is defined as the Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(A_n,S)$ on $A_n$ with respect to $S$. In this paper, we show that $CAG_n$ ($n\geq 4$) is not a normal Cayley graph. Furthermore, the automorphism group of $CAG_n$ for $n\geq 5$ is obtained, which equals to $\mathrm{Aut}(CAG_n)=(R(A_n)\rtimes \mathrm{Inn}(S_n))\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2\cong (A_n\rtimes S_n)\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$, where $R(A_n)$ is the right regular representation of $A_n$, $\mathrm{Inn}(S_n)$ is the inner automorphism group of $S_n$, and $\mathbb{Z}_2=\langle h\rangle$, where $h$ is the map $α\mapstoα^{-1}$ ($\forall α\in A_n$).

On graphs with $m(\partial^L_1)=n-3$

Let $\partial^L_1\ge\partial^L_2\ge\cdots\ge\partial^L_n$ be the distance Laplacian eigenvalues of a connected graph $G$ and $m(\partial^L_i)$ the multiplicity of $\partial^L_i$. It is well known that the graphs with $m(\partial^L_1)=n-1$ are complete graphs. Recently, the graphs with $m(\partial^L_1)=n-2$ have been characterized by Celso et al. In this paper, we completely determine the graphs with $m(\partial^L_1)=n-3$.
