In this paper, we consider the class of cographs and its subclasses, namely, threshold graphs and anti-regular graphs. In 2011 H. Bai confirmed the Grone – Merris conjecture about the sum of the first k eigenvalues of the Laplacian of an arbitrary graph. As a variation of the Grone – Merris conjecture, A. Brouwer put forward his conjecture about an upper bound for this sum. Although the latter conjecture was confirmed for many graph classes, however, it remains open. By analogy to Brouwer’s conjecture, in 2013 F. Ashraf et al. put forward a conjecture about the sum of k eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian, which was also confirmed for some graph classes but remains open. In this paper, an analogue of the Brouwer’s conjecture is confirmed for the graph classes under our consideration for the eigenvalues of their signless Laplacian for some natural k which does not exceed the order of the considered graphs.

In this paper, we consider a generalized join operation, that is, the H-join on graphs, where H is an arbitrary graph. In terms of the signless Laplacian and the normalized Laplacian, we determine the spectra of the graphs obtained by this operation on regular graphs. Some additional consequences on the spectral radius, integral graphs and cospectral graphs, etc. are also obtained.

A graph G is said to be borderenergetic (L-borderenergetic, respectively) if its energy (Laplacian energy, respectively) equals the energy (Laplacian energy, respectively) of the complete graph. Recently, this concept was extend to signless Laplacian energy (see Tao, Q., Hou, Y. (2018). Q-borderenergetic graphs. AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics). A graph G is called Q-borderenergetic if its signless Laplacian energy is the same of the complete graph Kn; i.e., QE(G) = QE(Kn) = 2n - 2: In this paper, we investigate Q-borderenergetic graphs on the class of threshold graphs. For a family of threshold graphs of order n = 100; we find out exactly 13 graphs such that QE(G) = 2n- 2:

AbstractGiven graphs G and H, a family of vertex-disjoint copies of H in G is called an H-tiling. Conlon, Gowers, Samotij and Schacht showed that for a given graph H and a constant γ>0, there exists C>0 such that if $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ , then asymptotically almost surely every spanning subgraph G of the random graph 𝒢(n, p) with minimum degree at least $\delta (G) \ge (1 - \frac{1}{{{\chi _{{\rm{cr}}}}(H)}} + \gamma )np$ contains an H-tiling that covers all but at most γn vertices. Here, χcr(H) denotes the critical chromatic number, a parameter introduced by Komlós, and m2(H) is the 2-density of H. We show that this theorem can be bootstrapped to obtain an H-tiling covering all but at most $\gamma {(C/p)^{{m_2}(H)}}$ vertices, which is strictly smaller when $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ . In the case where H = K3, this answers the question of Balogh, Lee and Samotij. Furthermore, for an arbitrary graph H we give an upper bound on p for which some leftover is unavoidable and a bound on the size of a largest H -tiling for p below this value.

Let G be an r-regular graph with order n, and G ∨ H be the graph obtained by joining each vertex of G to each vertex of H. In this paper, we prove that G ∨ K2is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum for r = 1, n - 2. For r = n - 3, we show that G ∨ K2is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum if and only if the complement of G has no triangles.

Let $i(r,g)$ denote the infimum of the ratio $\frac{\alpha(G)}{|V(G)|}$ over the $r$-regular graphs of girth at least $g$, where $\alpha(G)$ is the independence number of $G$, and  let $i(r,\infty) := \lim\limits_{g \to \infty} i(r,g)$. Recently, several new lower bounds of $i(3,\infty)$ were obtained. In particular, Hoppen and Wormald showed in 2015 that $i(3, \infty) \geqslant 0.4375,$ and Csóka improved it to $i(3,\infty) \geqslant 0.44533$ in 2016. Bollobás proved the upper bound  $i(3,\infty) < \frac{6}{13}$  in 1981, and McKay improved it to $i(3,\infty) < 0.45537$in 1987. There were no improvements since then. In this paper, we improve the upper bound to $i(3,\infty) \leqslant 0.454.$

A spectral graph theory is a theory in which graphs are studied by means of eigenvalues of a matrix M which is in a prescribed way defined for any graph. This theory is called M-theory. We outline a spectral theory of graphs based on the signless Laplacians Q and compare it with other spectral theories, in particular with those based on the adjacency matrix A and the Laplacian L. The Q-theory can be composed using various connections to other theories: equivalency with A-theory and L-theory for regular graphs, or with L-theory for bipartite graphs, general analogies with A-theory and analogies with A-theory via line graphs and subdivision graphs. We present results on graph operations, inequalities for eigenvalues and reconstruction problems.

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a $k$-connected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Let $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$. Suppose $\lambda_1(D)\geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n(D)$ are the $D$-eigenvalues of $G$. The transmission of $v_i \in V(G)$, denoted by $Tr_G(v_i)$ is defined to be the sum of distances from $v_i$ to all other vertices of $G$, i.e., the row sum $D_{i}(G)$ of $D(G)$ indexed by vertex $v_i$ and suppose that $D_1(G)\geq \cdots \geq D_n(G)$. The $Wiener~ index$ of $G$ denoted by $W(G)$ is given by $W(G)=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{n}D_i(G)$. Let $Tr(G)$ be the $n\times n$ diagonal matrix with its $(i,i)$-entry equal to $TrG(v_i)$. The distance signless Laplacian matrix of $G$ is defined as $D^Q(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)$ and its spectral radius is denoted by $\rho_1(D^Q(G))$ or $\rho_1$. A connected graph $G$ is said to be $t$-transmission-regular if $Tr_G(v_i) =t$ for every vertex $v_i\in V(G)$, otherwise, non-transmission-regular. In this paper, we respectively estimate $D_1(G)-\lambda_1(G)$ and $2D_1(G)-\rho_1(G)$ for a $k$-connected non-transmission-regular graph in different ways and compare these obtained results. And we conjecture that $D_1(G)-\lambda_1(G)>\frac{1}{n+1}$. Moreover, we show that the conjecture is valid for trees.

The signless Laplacian matrix of a graph is the sum of its degree diagonal and adjacency matrices. In this paper, we present a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph. Then this result and other known results are used to obtain two new sharp upper bounds for the signless Laplacian spectral radius. Moreover, the extremal graphs which attain an upper bound are characterized.

Gallai [1] raised the question of determining t(n), the maximum number of triangles in graphs of n vertices with acyclic neighborhoods. Here we disprove his conjecture (t(n) ~ n2/8) by exhibiting graphs having n2/7.5 triangles. We improve the upper bound [11] of (n2 − n)/6 to t(n) ≤; n2/7.02 + O(n). For regular graphs, we further decrease this bound to n2/7.75 + O(n).
