Doubly stochastic matrices of trees

In this paper, we obtain sharp upper and lower bounds for the smallest entries of doubly stochastic matrices of trees and characterize all extreme graphs which attain the bounds. We also present a counterexample to Merris’ conjecture on relations between the smallest entry of the doubly stochastic matrix and the algebraic connectivity of a graph in [R.

Minimizing algebraic connectivity over graphs made with some given blocks

This article describes the structure of the graph minimizing the algebraic connectivity among all connected graphs made with some given blocks with fixed number of pendant blocks, the blocks that have exactly one point of articulation. As an application, we conclude that over all graphs made with given blocks, the algebraic connectivity is minimum for a graph whose block structure is a path.     

On the Laplacian integral tricyclic graphs

A graph is called Laplacian integral if all its Laplacian eigenvalues are integers. In this paper, we give an edge subdividing theorem for Laplacian eigenvalues of a graph (Theorem 2.1) and characterize a class of k-cyclic graphs whose algebraic connectivity is less than one. Using these results, we determine all the Laplacian integral tricyclic graphs. Furthermore, we show that all the Laplacian integral tricyclic graphs are determined by their Laplacian spectra.

Sharp upper and lower bounds for the Laplacian spectral radius and the spectral radius of graphs

In this paper, sharp upper bounds for the Laplacian spectral radius and the spectral radius of graphs are given, respectively. We show that some known bounds can be obtained from our bounds. For a bipartite graph G, we also present sharp lower bounds for the Laplacian spectral radius and the spectral radius, respectively.     

Energy of generalized line graphs

The energy of a graph is equal to the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. Line graphs play an important role in the study of graph theory. Generalized line graphs extend the ideas of both line graphs and cocktail party graphs. In this paper, we establish relations between the energy of the generalized line graph of a graph G and the Laplacian and signless Laplacian energies of G. We give upper and lower bounds for the energy of generalized line graphs. Finally, we present upper and lower bounds for some special graphs.     

The new upper bounds on the spectral radius of weighted graphs

Let us consider weighted graphs, where the weights of the edges are positive definite matrices. The eigenvalues of a weighted graph are the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix and the spectral radius of a weighted graph is also the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we obtain two upper bounds for the spectral radius of weighted graphs and compare with a known upper bound. We also characterize graphs for which the upper bounds are attained.     

Counting independent sets in Riordan graphs

The notion of a Riordan graph was introduced recently, and it is a far-reaching generalization of the well-known Pascal graphs and Toeplitz graphs. However, apart from a certain subclass of Toeplitz graphs, nothing was known on independent sets in Riordan graphs.In this paper, we give exact enumeration and lower and upper bounds for the number of independent sets for various classes of Riordan graphs. Remarkably, we offer a variety of methods to solve the problems that range from the structural decomposition theorem to methods in combinatorics on words. Some of our results are valid for any graph.     

A lower bound for algebraic connectivity based on the connection-graph-stability method

This paper introduces the connection-graph-stability method and uses it to establish a new lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of graphs (the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph) that is sharper than the previously published bounds. The connection-graph-stability score for each edge is defined as the sum of the lengths of the shortest paths making use of that edge. We prove that the algebraic connectivity of the graph is bounded below by the size of the graph divided by the maximum connection-graph-stability score assigned to the edges.
