Characterizing graphs with the second largest distance eigenvalue less than -1/2
Miriam Abdón, Lilian Markenzon, Cybele T. M. Vinagre
Let be a connected graph with vertex set . The distance, , between vertices and of is defined as the length of a shortest path between and in…
Structural and Spectral Properties of Strictly Interval Graphs
Claudia Justel, Lilian Markenzon
In this paper we deal with a subclass of chordal graphs, which are simultaneously strictly chordal and interval, the strictly interval graphs. We present a new characterization of…
Exploring structural properties of -trees and block graphs
Lilian Markenzon, Allana S. S. Oliveira, Cybele T. M. Vinagre
We present a new characterization of -trees based on their reduced clique graphs and -line graphs, which are block graphs. We explore structural properties of these two c…
Linear time determination of the scattering number for strictly chordal graphs
Lilian Markenzon, Christina F. E. M. Waga
The scattering number of a graph was defined by Jung in 1978 as where is the number of connected com…
Integer Laplacian eigenvalues of strictly chordal graphs
Nair Abreu, Claudia Marcela Justel, Lilian Markenzon
In this paper, we establish the relation between classic invariants of graphs and their integer Laplacian eigenvalues, focusing on a subclass of chordal graphs, the strictly chorda…
Toughness and Hamiltonicity in Random Apollonian Networks
Lilian Markenzon, Christina F. E. M. Waga
In this paper we study the toughness of Random Apollonian Networks (RANs), a random graph model which generates planar graphs with power-law properties. We consider their important…
