The Grone--Merris inequality, conjectured by Grone and Merris~(1994) and first proved by Bai~(2011), states that for every graph $G$ of order $n$ and every $1\le k\le n$, $\sum_{i=1}^k\lambda_i(G)\le\sum_{i=1}^k d_i^*(G)$, where $\lambda_1\ge\cdots\ge\lambda_n$ are the Laplacian eigenvalues and $d_1^*\ge\cdots\ge d_n^*...

A classical result of Andr\'asfai, Erd\H{o}s, and S\'os states that every $n$-vertex graph with odd girth at least $2k+1$ and minimum degree larger than $\frac{2n}{2k+1}$ is bipartite. Rather than imposing a minimum-degree condition, in this paper we investigate conditions on algebraic connectivity that force graphs of...
Let $\lambda_1\geq\lambda_2\geq\cdots\geq\lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of a simple graph $G$ of order $n$. The HL-index of $G$ is defined by $R(G)=\max\|\lambda_h|,|\lambda_\ell|\}$ with $h=\lfloor(n+1)/2\rfloor$ and $\ell=\lceil(n+1)/2\rceil$.In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is $ K_4$-minor-free or $ K _ {2,3} $-mi...
