A dumbbell graph, denoted by $D_{a,b,c}$, is a bicyclic graph consisting of two vertex-disjoint cycles $C_a$, $C_b$ and a path $P_{c+3}$ ($c \geq -1$) joining them having only its end-vertices in common with the two cycles. In this paper, we study the spectral characterization w.r.t. the adjacency spectrum of $D_{a,b,0}$ (without cycles $C_4$) with $\gcd(a,b)\geq 3$, and we complete the research started in [J.F. Wang et al., A note on the spectral characterization of dumbbell graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1707–1714]. In particular we show that $D_{a,b,0}$ with $3 \leq \gcd(a,b) < a$ or $\gcd(a,b)=a$ and $b\neq 3a$ is determined by the spectrum. For $b=3a$, we determine the unique graph cospectral with $D_{a,3a,0}$. Furthermore we give the spectral characterization w.r.t. the signless Laplacian spectrum of all dumbbell graphs.

A graph is said to be DQS if there is no other non-isomorphic graph with the same signless Laplacian spectrum. For a DQS graph G, we show that G ? rK1 is DQS under certain conditions. Applying these results, some DQS graphs with isolated vertices are obtained.

Study about spectra of graph has became interesting work as well as study about commuting and non commuting graph of a group or a ring. But the study about spectra of commuting and non commuting graph of dihedral group has not been done yet. In this paper, we investigate adjacency spectrum, Laplacian spectrum, signless Laplacian spectrum, and detour spectrum of commuting and non commuting graph of dihedral group <em>D</em><sub>2<em>n</em></sub>

The distance signless Laplacian matrix of a simple connected graph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance matrix of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix whose main diagonal entries are the vertex transmissions in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we first determine the distance signless Laplacian spectrum of the graphs obtained by generalization of the join and lexicographic product graph operations (namely joined union) in terms of their adjacency spectrum and the eigenvalues of an auxiliary matrix, determined by the graph [Formula: see text]. As an application, we show that new pairs of auxiliary equienergetic graphs can be constructed by joined union of regular graphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph with a distance matrix [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be, respectively, the distance Laplacian matrix and the distance signless Laplacian matrix of graph [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the diagonal matrix of the vertex transmissions in [Formula: see text]. The eigenvalues of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] constitute the distance Laplacian spectrum and distance signless Laplacian spectrum, respectively. The subdivision graph [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] is obtained by inserting a new vertex into every edge of [Formula: see text]. We denote the set of such new vertices by [Formula: see text]. The subdivision-vertex join of two vertex disjoint graphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] denoted by [Formula: see text], is the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by joining each vertex of [Formula: see text] with every vertex of [Formula: see text]. The subdivision-edge join of two vertex disjoint graphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] denoted by [Formula: see text], is the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by joining each vertex of [Formula: see text] with every vertex of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the distance Laplacian and distance signless Laplacian spectra of subdivision-vertex join and subdivision-edge join of a connected regular graph with an arbitrary regular graph in terms of their eigenvalues. As an application we exhibit some infinite families of cospectral graphs and find the respective spectra of the Jahangir graph [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we introduce a new graph operation called subdivision vertex-edge join (denoted by G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) for short), and then the adjacency spectrum, the Laplacian spectrum and the signless Laplacian spectrum of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) are respectively determined in terms of the corresponding spectra for a regular graph G 1 and two arbitrary graphs G 2 and G 3 . All the above can be viewed as the generalizations of the main results in [X. Liu, Z. Zhang, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc., 2017:1–17]. Furthermore, we also determine the normalized Laplacian spectrum of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) whenever G i are regular graphs for each index i = 1 , 2 , 3 . As applications, we construct infinitely many pairs of A-cospectral mates, L-cospectral mates, Q-cospectral mates and L -cospectral mates. Finally, we give the number of spanning trees, the (degree-)Kirchhoff index and the Kemeny’s constant of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) , respectively.

Let $G$ be a connected graph with a distance matrix $D$. The distance eigenvalues of $G$ are the eigenvalues of $D$, and the distance energy $E_D(G)$ is the sum of its absolute values. The transmission $Tr(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the sum of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices in $G$. The transmission matrix $Tr(G)$ of $G$ is a diagonal matrix with diagonal entries equal to the transmissions of vertices. The matrices $D^L(G)= Tr(G)-D(G)$ and $D^Q(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)$ are, respectively, the Distance Laplacian and the Distance Signless Laplacian matrices of $G$. The eigenvalues of $D^L(G)$ ( $D^Q(G)$) constitute the Distance Laplacian spectrum ( Distance Signless Laplacian spectrum ). The subdivision graph $S(G)$ of $G$ is obtained by inserting a new vertex into every edge of $G$. We describe here the Distance Spectrum, Distance Laplacian spectrum and Distance Signless Laplacian spectrum of some types of subdivision related graphs of a regular graph in the terms of its adjacency spectrum. We also derive analytic expressions for the distance energy of $\bar{S}(C_p)$, partial complement of the subdivision of a cycle $C_p$ and that of $\overline {S\left( {C_p }\right)}$, complement of the even cycle $C_{2p}$.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be three graphs on disjoint sets of vertices and [Formula: see text] has [Formula: see text] edges. Let [Formula: see text] be the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the following way: (1) Delete all the edges of [Formula: see text] and consider [Formula: see text] disjoint copies of [Formula: see text]. (2) Join each vertex of the [Formula: see text]th copy of [Formula: see text] to the end vertices of the [Formula: see text]th edge of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the graph obtained from [Formula: see text] by joining each vertex of [Formula: see text] with each vertex of [Formula: see text] In this paper, we determine the adjacency (respectively, Laplacian, signless Laplacian) spectrum of [Formula: see text] in terms of those of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] As an application, we construct infinite pairs of cospectral graphs.

A graph is called Q-integral if its signless Laplacian spectrum consists entirely of integers. We establish some general results regarding signless Laplacians of semiregular bipartite graphs. Especially, we consider those semiregular bipartite graphs with integral signless Laplacian spectrum. In some particular cases we determine the possible Q-spectra and consider the corresponding graphs.

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.
