Let G be a graph and let A and D be the adjacency matrix of G and diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of G respectively. If each vertex degree is positive, then the normalized adjacency matrix of G is \hat{A} = D^(−1/2)AD^(−1/2). A classification is given of those graphs for which the all eigenvalues of the normalized adjacency matrix are integral. The problem of determining those graphs G for which \lambda \in Q for each eigenvalue of \hat{A}(G) is considered. These graphs are called normalized rational. It will be shown that a semiregular bipartite graph G with vertex degrees r and s is normalized rational if and only if every eigenvalue of A is a rational multiple of (rs)^{1/2}. This result will be used to classify the values of n for which the semiregular graph (with vertex degrees 2 and n − 1) obtained from subdividing each edge of K_n is normalized rational. Necessary conditions for the k-uniform complete hypergraph on n vertices to be normalized rational are also given. Finally, conditions for the incidence graphs of Steiner triple and quadruple systems to be normalized rational are given.

Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Laplacian matrix of G, denoted by L(G), is defined as L(G) = D(G) −A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and D(G) is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. A graph G is said to be L-integral if all eigenvalues of the matrix L(G) are integers. In this paper, we characterize all Lintegral non-bipartite graphs among all connected graphs with at most two vertices of degree larger than or equal to three.

For a graph $G$ and real number $\alpha\in [0,1]$, the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of $G$ is defined as $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G),$ where $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$ and $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of $G$. In this paper, the largest multiplicity of the $A_{\alpha}$-eigenvalues of a broom tree is considered, and all graphs with an $A_{\alpha}$-eigenvalue of multiplicity at least $n-2$ are characterized.

Let $\Gamma=(G,\sigma)$ be a signed graph and $L(\Gamma)=D(G)-A(\Gamma)$ be the Laplacian matrix of $\Gamma$, where $D(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of the underlying graph $G$ and $A(\Gamma)$ is the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. It is well-known that the least Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_n$ is positive if and only if $\Gamma$ is unbalanced. In this paper, the unique signed graph (up to switching equivalence) which minimizes the least Laplacian eigenvalue among unbalanced connected signed unicyclic graphs with $n$ vertices and $k$ pendant vertices is characterized.

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.

The energy of a graph G, ?(G), is the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The matching number ?(G) is the number of edges in a maximum matching. In this paper, for a connected graph G of order n with largest vertex degree ? ? 6 we present two new upper bounds for the energy of a graph: ?(G) ? (n-1)?? and ?(G) ? 2?(G)??. The latter one improves recently obtained bound ?(G) ? {2?(G)?2?e + 1, if ?e is even; ?(G)(? a + 2?a + ?a-2?a), otherwise, where ?e stands for the largest edge degree and a = 2(?e + 1). We also present a short proof of this result and several open problems.

Let G be a graph, for any real 0≤α≤1, Nikiforov defines the matrix Aα(G) as Aα(G)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(G), where A(G) and D(G) are the adjacency matrix and diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of G. This paper presents some extremal results about the spectral radius ρα(G) of the matrix Aα(G). In particular, we give a lower bound on the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and independence number. In addition, we obtain an upper bound for the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and minimal degree. Furthermore, for n>l>0 and 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋, let Gp≅Kl∨(Kp∪Kn−p−l) be the graph obtained from the graphs Kl and Kp∪Kn−p−l and edges connecting each vertex of Kl with every vertex of Kp∪Kn−p−l. We prove that ρα(Gp+1)<ρα(Gp) for 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋−1.

It is now well known that many large-sized complex networks obey a scale-free power-law vertex-degree distribution. Here, we show that when the vertex degrees of a large-sized network follow a scale-free power-law distribution with exponent  2, the number of degree-1 vertices, if nonzero, is of order N and the average degree is of order lower than log N, where N is the size of the network. Furthermore, we show that the number of degree-1 vertices is divisible by the least common multiple of , , . . ., , and l is less than log N, where l = < is the vertex-degree sequence of the network. The method we developed here relies only on a static condition, which can be easily verified, and we have verified it by a large number of real complex networks.

Introduction/purpose: The paper presents numerous vertex-degree-based graph invariants considered in the literature. A matrix can be associated to each of these invariants. By means of these matrices, the respective vertex-degree-based graph energies are defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues. Results: The article determines the conditions under which the considered graph energies are greater or smaller than the ordinary graph energy (based on the adjacency matrix). Conclusion: The results of the paper contribute to the theory of graph energies as well as to the theory of vertex-degree-based graph invariants.
