How to find or constrain "particularly good" (two-sided) spectral expanders?
I'm new to graph theory, but a response to a question I asked a while ago introduced me to the concept of expander graphs.
A k-regular graph (henceforth "graph") on n nodes has eigenvalues k = λ1 ≥ ...

Spectral lower bounds on the diameter of a graph
There is such a bound, due to Mohar and McKay, using the second-smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\lambda_{2}$:
$$Diam \geq \lceil \frac{4}{n\lambda_{2}} \rceil.$$
This bound is very elegant but ...

Number of trees with the same matching number
Let $\sigma(n,m)$ be the number of trees with $n$ vertices $\{ v_1, \dots, v_n \}$ such that the matching number (the size of a maximum matching) is $m$.
I have been trying to compute the value of $\...

Explicit constructions of regular graphs with very sparse induced subgraphs
Let $d\ge 3$ be a constant. Is there an explicit construction of an infinite family of $d$-regular graphs such that for $G$ in this family with $n$ vertices, every subgraph $H$ of on at most $\alpha n$...

Non-isomorphic graphs with the same numbers of closed walks
Can somebody help me to construct two family of finite simple connected graph $G_i$ and $H_i$, $i=1, 2, \cdots,n$ ($n$ possibly large), such that:
$1)$ $G_i\ncong H_i$ for $i=1, 2, \cdots, n$
$2)$ $...

Cut norm and biclique gap?
Given real $\pm1$ matrix $M\in\Bbb R^{n\times m}$ we have that cut-norm is given by $$\|M\|_C=\max_{\mathcal I\subseteq[n],\mathcal J\subseteq[m]}\Big|\sum_{(i,j)\in\mathcal I\times\mathcal J}M_{ij}\...

Comparing spectral radius of two graphs using the entry of Perron vector
Suppose we have a graph $G$.
Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$ and $x$ be the corresponding Perron vector.
Let $x = (x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)^t$, where $x_i$ corresponds to the vertex $i \in V(G)$.
We ...

4-cycles vs eigenvalue information on quasi-random graphs
My (philosophical) question arises from reading the wonderful paper of Chung-Graham-Wilson where the authors introduces the notion of quasi-random graphs.
The main purpose of the paper is to show ...
