Extremal algebraic connectivities of certain caterpillar classes and symmetric caterpillars.
In this paper, we deal with the construction of symmetric matrix whose corresponding graph is connected and unicyclic using some pre-assigned spectral data. Spectral data for the problem consist of the smallest and the largest eigenvalues of each leading principal submatrices. Inverse eigenvalue problem (IEP) with this set of spectral data is generally known as the extremal IEP. We use a standard scheme of labeling the vertices of the graph, which helps in getting a simple relation between the characteristic...
I. Gutman (2022) constructed six new graph invariants based on geometric parameters, and named them Sombor-index-like graph invariants, denoted by . Z. Tang, H. Deng (2022) and Z. Tang, Q. Li, H. Deng (2023) investigated the chemical applicability and extremal values of these Sombor-index-like graph invariants, and raised some open problems, see Z. Tang, Q. Li, H. Deng (2023). We consider the first open problem formulated at the end of Z. Tang, Q. Li, H. Deng (2023). We obtain the extremal values...
The distance spectral radius ρ(G) of a graph G is the largest eigenvalue of the distance matrix D(G). Let U (n,m) be the class of unicyclic graphs of order n with given matching number m (m ≠ 3). In this paper, we determine the extremal unicyclic graph which has minimal distance spectral radius in U (n,m) Cn.
In spectral bisection, a Fielder vector is used for partitioning a graph into two connected subgraphs according to its sign pattern. We investigate graphs having Fiedler vectors with unbalanced sign patterns such that a partition can result in two connected subgraphs that are distinctly different in size. We present a characterization of graphs having a Fiedler vector with exactly one negative component, and discuss some classes of such graphs. We also establish an analogous result for regular graphs...
We investigate the properties of the least-squares solution of the system of equations with a matrix being the incidence matrix of a given undirected connected graph and we propose an algorithm that uses this solution for finding a vertex-disjoint cycle cover (2-factor) of the graph .
Systems of consistent linear equations with symmetric positive semidefinite matrices arise naturally while solving many scientific and engineering problems. In case of a "floating" static structure, the boundary conditions are not sufficient to prevent its rigid body motions. Traditional solvers based on Cholesky decomposition can be adapted to these systems by recognition of zero rows or columns and also by setting up a well conditioned regular submatrix of the problem that...
PageRank is a ranking method that assigns scores to web pages using the limit distribution of a random walk on the web graph. A fibration of graphs is a morphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. We show that a deep connection relates fibrations and Markov chains with restart, a particular kind of Markov chains that include the PageRank one as a special case. This fact provides constraints on the...
In this paper, we obtain a forbidden minor characterization of a cographic matroid M for which the splitting matroid Mx,y is graphic for every pair x, y of elements of M.
