A complete solution to the Boots-Royle/Cao-Vince conjecture

Lele Liu, Bo Ning, Yi Wang

Boots and Royle, and independently Cao and Vince, conjectured that the join of an edge and a path on vertices is the unique planar graph of maximum adjacency spectral radius…

The largest Laplacian eigenvalue of induced--free graphs

Lele Liu, Bo Ning

Let be a simple graph of maximum degree , and let denote the largest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix. For a fixed integer , Aharoni, Alon, and Berger (201…

Maximum spectral sum of graphs

Hitesh Kumar, Lele Liu, Hermie Monterde +2

For a graph of order , the spectral sum of is defined to be the sum , where (resp. ) is the largest (resp. second largest) adjacency ei…

An exponentially small gap of the Perron vector on independent sets

Hongzhang Chen, Jianxi Li, Yongtao Li +2

A classical result of Cioabă states that if is a connected graph with the unit Perron vector , then any independent set of satisfies $\sum_{v\in S} x_v^2 \l…

A short proof of a perturbation inequality for the spectral radius

Lele Liu, Bo Ning

Let be a simple graph, and denote by its spectral radius. Sun and Das (2020) established that for any non-isolated vertex with degree , \[ λ(G)\leq \sqrt{λ(G-v…

A new spectral Turán theorem for weighted graphs and consequences

Lele Liu, Bo Ning

Confirming a conjecture of Elphick and Edwards and strengthening a spectral theorem of Wilf, Nikiforov proved that for any -free graph , , wh…
