A New Lower Bound on the Spectral Radius of Graphs with Prescribed Average Degree
Sonny Ben-Shimon, Idan Eisner, Shlomo Hoory
This work establishes an improved lower bound for the spectral radius of a graph given its average degree. The new bound follows from an exact solution of the fractional relaxation…

Solvable and unsolvable instances of the equal sum partition problem
Shlomo Hoory, Dani Kotlar
We consider the equal sum partition problem, motivated by distance magic graph labeling: Given such that and a partition , when…

On the Girth of Graph Lifts
Shlomo Hoory
The size of the smallest -regular graph of girth at least is denoted by the well-studied function . We introduce an analogous function , defined as the small…
