Two graphs having the same spectrum are said to be cospectral. Two graphs such that the absolute values of their nonzero eigenvalues coincide are singularly cospectral graphs. Cospectrality implies singular cospectrality, but the converse may be false. In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for two circulant graphs, with an even number of vertices, to be noncospectral singularly cospectral graphs. In this analysis, we study when a pair of these graphs have the same or distinct inertia. In addition, we show that two singularly cospectral circulant graphs with an odd prime number of vertices are isomorphic.

A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$, $-1$, or $1$, depending on whether $ij$ represents no edge, a negative edge, or a positive edge, respectively. The index of the adjacency matrix of a signed graph $\dot{G}$ is less or equal to the index of the adjacency matrix of its underlying graph $G$, i.e., $\lambda_1(\dot{G}) \le \lambda_1(G)$. Indeed, if $\dot{G}$ is balanced, then $\lambda_1(\dot{G})=\lambda_1(G)$. This inequality becomes strict when $\dot{G}$ is an unbalanced signed graph. Recently, Brunetti and Stani\'c found the whole list of unbalanced signed graphs on $n$ vertices with maximum (resp. minimum) spectral radius. To our knowledge, there has been little research on this problem when unbalanced signed graphs are confined to specific graph classes. In this article, we demonstrate that there is only one unbalanced signed bipartite graph on $n$ vertices with maximum spectral radius, up to an operation on the signed edges known as switching. Additionally, we investigate unbalanced signed complete bipartite graphs on $n$ vertices with a bounded number of edges and maximum spectral radius, where the negative edges induce a tree.

The main study of this article is the characterization of Richard's inequality, because it is closely related to Buzano's inequality. Finally, we present a newapproach for Richard's inequality, where we use the Selberg operator.

M. Lin defined a binary operation for two positive semi-definite matrices in studying certain determinantal inequalities that arise from diffusion tensor imaging. This operation enjoys some interesting properties similar to the operator geometric mean. We study this operation further and present numerous properties emphasizing the relationship with the operator geometric mean. In the end, we present an application toward Tsallis relative operator entropy., Comment: 17 pages

This paper explores the concept of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the context of operators on semi-Hilbert spaces. These spaces are generated by positive semi-definite sesquilinear forms. We delve into the fundamental properties of this concept and provide several characterizations of it. Using innovative arguments, we extend a widely known result initially proposed by Magajna in [J. London. Math. Soc., 1993]. Additionally, we improve a recent result by Sen and Paul in [Math. Slovaca, 2023] regarding a characterization of approximate numerical radius orthogonality of two semi-Hilbert space operators, such that one of them is $A$-positive. Here, $A$ is assumed to be a positive semi-definite operator., Comment: 17 pages

This article implements a simple convex approach and block techniques to obtain several new refined versions of numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space operators. This includes comparisons among the norms of the operators, their Cartesian parts, their numerical radii, the numerical radius of the product of two operators, and the Aluthge transform.

In this paper, we introduce the $f-$operator radius of Hilbert space operators as a generalization of the Euclidean operator radius and the $q-$operator radius. Properties of the newly defined radius are discussed, emphasizing how it extends some known results in the literature.

The main goal of this work is to present new matrix inequalities of the Cauchy-Schwarz type. In particular, we investigate the so-called Lieb functions, whose definition came as an umbrella of Cauchy-Schwarz-like inequalities, then we consider the mixed Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. This latter inequality has been influential in obtaining several other matrix inequalities, including numerical radius and norm results. Among many other results, we show that \[\left\| T \right\|\le \frac{1}{4}\left( \left\| \left| T \right|+\left| {{T}^{*}} \right|+2\mathfrak RT \right\|+\left\| \left| T \right|+\left| {{T}^{*}} \right|-2\mathfrak RT \right\| \right),\] where $\mathfrak RT$ is the real part of $T$., Comment: to appear in Oper.

If $P$ is an orthogonal projection defined on an inner product space $\mathcal{H}$, then the inequality $$ |\langle Px, y\rangle|\leq \frac12 [\|x\|\|y\|+|\langle x, y\rangle|] $$ fulfills for any $x,y \in \mathcal{H}$ (see \cite{Dra16}). In particular, when $P$ is the identity operator, then it recovers the famous Buzano inequality. We obtain generalizations of such classical inequality, which hold for certain families of bounded linear operators defined on $\mathcal{H}$. In addition, several new inequalities involving the norm and numerical radius of an operator are established., Comment: 15 pages

In this article, we present some new inequalities for the numerical radius of products of Hilbert space operators and the generalized Aluthge transform. In particular, we show some upper bounds for $\omega(ABC+DEF)$ using the celebrated Buzano inequality, then some consequences that generalize some results from the literature are discussed. After that, inequalities that involve the generalized Aluthge transform are shown using some known bounds for the numerical radius of the product of two operators.

The weighted numerical radius of a Hilbert space operator has been defined recently. This article explores other properties and uses this newly defined numerical radius to obtain several new interesting inequalities for the weighted numerical radius and the numerical radius. In particular, new identities for the numerical radius, further comparisons between the numerical radius and the real and imaginary parts, and some inequalities for sectorial operators will be presented.

Two graphs having the same spectrum are said to be cospectral. A pair of singularly cospectral graphs is formed by two graphs such that the absolute values of their nonzero eigenvalues coincide. Clearly, a pair of cospectral graphs is also singularly cospectral but the converse may not be true. Two graphs are almost cospectral if their nonzero eigenvalues and their multiplicities coincide. In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of graphs to be singularly cospectral, giving an answer to a problem posted by Nikiforov. In addition, we construct an infinite family of pairs of noncospectral singularly cospectral graphs with unbounded number of vertices. It is clear that almost cospectral graphs are also singularly cospectral but the converse is not necessarily true, we present families of graphs where both concepts: almost cospectrality and singularly cospectrality agree.

Let $\mathcal{B}(n,q)$ be the class of block graphs on $n$ vertices having all their blocks of the same size. We prove that if $G\in \mathcal{B}(n,q)$ has at most three pairwise adjacent cut vertices then the minimum spectral radius $\rho(G)$ is attained at a unique graph. In addition, we present a lower bound for $\rho(G)$ when $G\in \mathcal{B}(n,q)$.

In this paper, we establish several characterizations of the $A$-parallelism of bounded linear operators with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator $A$ acting on a complex Hilbert space. Among other things, we investigate the relationship between $A$-seminorm-parallelism and $A$-Birkhoff-James orthogonality of $A$-bounded operators. In particular, we characterize $A$-bounded operators which satisfy the $A$-Daugavet equation. In addition, we relate the $A$-Birkhoff-James orthogonality of operators and distance formulas and we give an explicit formula of the center mass for $A$-bounded operators. Some other related results are also discussed., Comment: 25 pages

The edge-connectivity of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion disconnects the graph. Let $\Delta(G)$ the maximum degree of a graph $G$ and let $\rho(G)$ be the spectral radius of $G$. In this article we present a lower bound for $\Delta(G)-\rho(G)$ in terms of the edge connectivity of $G$, where $G$ is a nonregular distance-hereditary graph. We also prove that $\rho(G)$ reaches the maximum at a unique graph in $\mathcal G$, when $\vert V(G)\vert = n$, and $\mathcal G$ either is in the class of graphs with bounded tree-width or is in the class of block graphs with prescribed independence number.

They proved several properties and introduced some inequalities. We continue with the study of this generalized numerical radius and we develop diverse inequalities involving w_N. We also study particular cases with a fixed N(.), for instance the p-Schatten norms. In ["A generalization of the numerical radius". Linear Algebra Appl. 569 (2019)], Abu Omar and Kittaneh defined a new generalization of the numerical radius. That is, given a norm $N(\cdot)$ on $\bh$, the space of bounded linear operators over a Hilbert space H, and A in B(H) w_N(A)=sup_{\theta\in \R}N(Re(e^{i\theta}A)). They proved several properties and introduced some inequalities. We continue with the study of this generalized numerical radius and we develop diverse inequalities involving $w_N$. We also study particular cases when N(.) is the p- Schatten norm with p>1., Comment: 17 pages

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality and isosceles orthogonality of bounded linear operators between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. We explore Birkhoff-James orthogonality of bounded linear operators in light of a new notion introduced by us and also discuss some of the possible applications in this regard. We also study isosceles orthogonality of bounded (positive) linear operators on a Hilbert space and some of the related properties, including that of operators having disjoint support. We further explore the relations between Birkhoff-James orthogonality and isosceles orthogonality in a general Banach space., Comment: 20 pages

In [P. Renaud, "A matrix formulation of Gr\"uss inequality", Linear Algebra Appl. 335 (2001), 95--100] it was proved an operator inequality involving the usual trace functional. In this article, we give a refinement of such result and we answer positively the Renaud's open problem.

We prove some refinements of an inequality due to X. Zhan in an arbitrary complex Hilbert space by using some results on the Heinz inequality. We present several related inequalities as well as new variants of the Corach--Porta--Recht inequality. We also characterize the class of operators satisfying $\left\Vert SXS^{-1}+S^{-1}XS+kX\right\Vert \geq (k+2)\left\Vert X\right\Vert$ under certain conditions., Comment: 12 Pages, to appear in Linear Algebra Appl.

In this paper we introduce a family of examples that can be regarded as spaces of nonpositive curvature, but with the distinct quality that they are not complete as metric spaces. This amounts to the fact that they are modelled on a finite von Neumann algebra, and the metrics introduced arise from the trace of the algebra. In spite of the noncompleteness of these manifolds, their geometry can be studied from the view-point of metric geometry, and several techniques derived from the functional analysis are applied to gain insight on their geodesic structure., Comment: 22 pages

The notion of nonpositive curvature in Alexandrov's sense is extended to include p-uniformly convex Banach spaces. Infinite dimensional manifolds of semi-negative curvature with a p-uniformly convex tangent norm fall in this class on nonpositively curved spaces, and several well-known results, such as existence and uniqueness of best approximations from convex closed sets, or the Bruhat-Tits fixed point theorem, are shown to hold in this setting, without dimension restrictions. Homogeneous spaces G/K of Banach-Lie groups of semi-negative curvature are also studied, explicit estimates on the geodesic distance and sectional curvature are obtained. A characterization of convex homogeneous submanifolds is given in terms of the Banach-Lie algebras. A splitting theorem via convex expansive submanifolds is proven, inducing the corresponding splitting of the Banach-Lie group G. Finally, these notions are used to study the structure of the classical Banach-Lie groups of bounded linear operators acting on a Hilbert space, and the splittings induced by conditional expectations in such setting., Comment: 43 pages
