Is the sum of the circulant matrix with a super upper triangular matrix diagonalizable?
By the circulant matrix $C$ in $M_n(\mathbb{R})$, we mean that
$$C=[e_n|e_1|\cdots|e_{n-1}]$$ where $e_1,\cdots,e_n$ are the standard basis vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. It is well-known that
$$C=\...

Spectrum of an adjacency matrix
The adjacency matrix of a non-oriented connected graph is symmetric, hence its spectrum is real.
If the graph is bipartite, then the spectrum of its adjacency matrix is symmetric about 0. A few ...

Non-diagonalizability of the adjacency matrix of a directed graph
Let $G$ be a directed graph with no multiple edges or loops and let $P_i$ be its vertices. Let $A$ be the corresponding adjacency matrix of $G$, i.e. $a_{i,j}=1$ if and only if there is a directed ...

Eigenvalues of directed graph with one outward edge for each vertex
I am concerned with unweighted directed graphs where each node contains exactly one edge pointing to another node, which could be itself. In other words, each row of the adjacency matrix contains one ...

Which graphs on $n$ vertices have the largest determinant?
This is a question that seems like it should have been studied before, but for some reason I cannot find much at all about it, and so I am asking for any pointers / references etc.
The determinant of ...

Normalized Laplacian matrix versus walk Laplacian matrix (or normalized adjacency matrix versus walk adjacency matrix)
In graphs, found that two different normalization matrices exist for Laplacian and adiacency matrix. I will ask about the adjacency matrix (for the Laplacian matrix the questions are the same). The ...

When does a row standardized adjacency matrix have a real spectrum?
A colleague in spatial statistics was looking at a map with about 600 regions. For the application she's considering, the induced adjacency matrix had some undesirable properties (where two regions ...

Lower bound on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian
I am looking for a graph for which $2 d_{i} < \mu_{i}$, for some index $i$, where $\mu_{1} \leq \mu_{2} \leq \dots\leq \mu_{n}$ are the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix $L(G)$ and $d_{1} \leq d_{...

Is $L'L_\text{in}+L_\text{in}'L$ positive semi-definite?
Assume that $A$ is the adjacency matrix of a strongly connected directed graph, that is, $A$ is non-negative and irreducible. Let $$L_\text{in}=D_\text{in}-A',\;L=D_\text{in}-A'+D_\text{out}-A$$ where ...

The spectral radius of a modified graph
Let $H$ be a graph and let $G=H \vee K_{1}$ be obtained by creating a new vertex and joining it to every vertex in $H$.
This situation has many different names: $G$ is called the cone or the ...

What is the largest possible operator norm of a sparse (0,1)-matrix?
Inspired by this question, I was wondering about the following problem:
Consider all $n\times n$ $(0,1)$-matrices with $k$ ones. Which of these matrices has the largest operator norm? And how does ...

Positive semidefinite decomposition, Laplacian eigenvalues, and the oriented incidence matrix
Suppose $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ is Hermitian and positive semidefinite with some decomposition $A=BB^*$, where $B=(b_{ij})\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$ (not necessarily the Cholesky decomposition). ...
