On the first two eigenvalues of regular graphs

S Zhang - Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
Let G be a regular graph with m edges, and let μ 1, μ 2 denote the two largest eigenvalues of
AG, the adjacency matrix of G. We show that, if G is not complete, then μ 1 2+ μ 2 2≤ 2 (ω …

A Brualdi–Hoffman–Turán problem on cycles

X Li, M Zhai, J Shu - European Journal of Combinatorics, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract Brualdi–Hoffman–Turán-type problem asks what is the maximum spectral radius λ 1
(G) of an H-free graph G on m edges? This problem gives a spectral perspective on the …

Rényi–Sobolev Inequalities and Connections to Spectral Graph Theory

L Yu, H Wu - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we generalize the log-Sobolev inequalities to Rényi–Sobolev inequalities by
replacing the entropy with the two-parameter entropy, which is a generalized version of …

A local version of spectral Tur\'an theorem

L Liu, B Ning - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.16138, 2023 - arxiv.org
In 2002, Nikiforov proved that for an $ n $-vertex graph $ G $ with clique number $\omega $,
edge number $ m $ and spectral radius $\lambda (G) $, there holds $\lambda (G)\leq\sqrt {2 …

Cubic graphs with no eigenvalues in the interval (-1, 1)

K Guo, GF Royle - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.02678, 2024 - arxiv.org
We give a complete characterisation of the cubic graphs with no eigenvalues in the open
interval $(-1, 1) $. There are two infinite families, one due to Guo and Mohar [Linear Algebra …

Bollob\'as-Nikiforov Conjecture for graphs with not so many triangles

H Kumar, S Pragada - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.19341, 2024 - arxiv.org
