Hermitian Adjacency Matrix of Digraphs and Mixed Graphs

The article gives a thorough introduction to spectra of digraphs via its Hermitian adjacency matrix. This matrix is indexed by the vertices of the digraph, and the entry corresponding to an arc from x to y is equal to the complex unity i (and its symmetric entry is ) if the reverse arc is not present. We also allow arcs in both directions and unoriented edges, in which case we use 1 as the entry. This allows to use the definition also for mixed graphs. This matrix has many nice properties; it has real eigenvalues and the interlacing theorem holds for a digraph and its induced subdigraphs. Besides covering the basic properties, we discuss many differences from the properties of eigenvalues of undirected graphs and develop basic theory. The main novel results include the following. Several surprising facts are discovered about the spectral radius; some consequences of the interlacing property are obtained; operations that preserve the spectrum are discussed—they give rise to a large number of cospectral digraphs; for every , all digraphs whose spectrum is contained in the interval are determined.

On minimally 2-(edge)-connected graphs with extremal spectral radius

A graph is minimally 2-(edge)-connected if it is 2-(edge)-connected and deleting any arbitrary chosen edge always leaves a graph which is not 2-(edge)-connected. In this paper, we completely characterize the minimally 2-(edge)-connected graphs having the largest and the smallest spectral radius, respectively.     

On the norm and spectral radius of Hermitian elements

Let be a complex unital Banach algebra. An element a ∈ is said to be Hermitian if ‖exp(ita)‖ = 1 for all t ∈ ℝ. In the case of the algebra of bounded linear operators in a Hilbert space, this Hermitian property agrees with the ordinary self-adjointness. If a ∈ is Hermitian, then ‖a‖ = |a|, where |a| denotes the spectral radius of a. A function F: ℝ → ℂ is called a universal symbol if ‖F(a)‖ = | F(a)| for every and all Hermitian a ∈ . We characterize universal symbols in terms of positive-definite functions.     

Effects on the normalized Laplacian spectral radius of non-bipartite graphs under perturbation and their applications

The normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of a network play an important role in its structural and dynamical aspects associated with the network. In this paper, we consider how the normalized Laplacian spectral radius of a non-bipartite graph behaves by several graph operations. As an example of the application, the smallest normalized Laplacian spectral radius of non-bipartite unicyclic graphs with fixed order is determined.     

Graphs and their associated inverse semigroups

Directed graphs have long been used to gain an understanding of the structure of semigroups, and recently the structure of directed graph semigroups has been investigated resulting in a characterization theorem and an analog of Frucht’s Theorem. We investigate two inverse semigroups defined over undirected graphs constructed from the notions of subgraph and vertex set induced subgraph. We characterize the structure of the semilattice of idempotents and lattice of ideals of these inverse semigroups. We prove a characterization theorem that states that every graph has a unique associated inverse semigroup up to isomorphism allowing for an algebraic restatement of the Edge Reconstruction Conjecture.     

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.
