Spectral extrema of 1-planar graphs with no short cycles or small cliques
The spectral Tur\'an type problem, initiated by Nikiforov in 2007, aims to determine the graphs among $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs having maximum spectral radius. In this paper, we study this problem for $1$-planar graphs, i.e., graphs that admit a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Recentl...
