$Kite_{n,p}$ denotes the kite graph that is obtained by appending complete graph with order $pgeq4$ to an endpoint of path graph with order $n-p$. It is shown that $Kite_{n,p}$ is determined by its adjacency spectrum for all $p$ and $n$ [H. Topcu and S. Sorgun, The kite graph is determined by its adjacency spectrum, Applied Math. and Comp., 330 (2018) 134--142]. For $n-p=1$, it is proven that $Kite_{n,p}$ is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum when $ngeq4$, $nneq5$ and is also determined by its distance spectrum when $ngeq4$ [K. C. Das and M. Liu, Kite graphs are determined by their spectra, Applied Math. and Comp., 297 (2017) 74--78]. In this note, we say that $Kite_{n,p}$ is determined by its Laplacian spectrum for $n-pleq2$.

The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of a graph. Two graphs are said to be equienergetic if they have same energy. A graph is said to be complementary equienergetic if it is equienergetic with its complement. Recently several complementary equienergetic graphs have been identified. In this paper, we characterize the cycle, path, complete bipartite regular graph and iterated line graph of regular graph, which are complementary equienergetic.

In this paper, we delve into studying some relations between the structure of the cycles and spanning trees of a graph through the lens of its cycle and spanning tree hypergraphs which are hypergraphs with the edge set of the graph as their vertices and the edge sets of the cycles and spanning trees as their hyperedges respectively. In particular, we investigate relations between these hypergraphs from the perspective of the VC-dimension and some important separating and covering features of hypergraph theory and amongst the results, for example show that the VC-dimension of the cycle hypergraph is less than or equal to the VC-dimension of the spanning tree hypergraph and their gap can be arbitrary large. Note that VC-dimension is an important measure of complexity and a fundamental notion in numerous fields such as extremal combinatorics, graph theory, statistics and the theory of machine learning. Also we compare the separating and covering features of the mentioned hypergraphs and for instance show that the separating number of the cycle hypergraph is less than or equal to that of the spanning tree hypergraph. These hypergraphs help us to make several connections between cycles and spanning trees of graphs and compare their complexities.

The characterization of the ideal access structures is one of the main open problems in secret sharing and is important from both practical and theoretical points of views. A graph-based $3-$homogeneous access structure is an access structure in which the participants are the vertices of a connected graph and every subset of the vertices is a minimal qualified subset if it has three vertices and induces a connected graph. In this paper, we introduce the graph-based $3-$homogeneous access structures and characterize the ideal graph-based $3$-homogeneous access structures. We prove that for every non-ideal graph-based $3$-homogeneous access structure over the graph $G$ with the maximum degree $d$ there exists a secret sharing scheme with an information rate $frac{1}{d+1}$. Furthermore, we mention three forbidden configurations that are useful in characterizing other families of ideal access structures.

We study two foremost Mahonian statistics, the major index and the inversion number for a class of binary words called restricted Fibonacci words. The language of restricted Fibonacci words satisfies recurrences which allow for the calculation of the generating functions in two different ways. These yield identities involving the $q$-binomial coefficients and provide non-standard $q$-analogues of the Fibonacci numbers. The major index generating function for restricted Fibonacci words turns out to be a $q$-power multiple of the inversion generating function.

Given a simple graph $G$, the distance signlesss Laplacian $D^{Q}(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)$ is the sum of vertex transmissions matrix $Tr(G)$ and distance matrix $D(G)$. In this paper, thanks to the symmetry of $D^{Q}(G)$, we obtain novel sharp bounds on the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$, and in particular the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius. The bounds are expressed through graph diameter, vertex covering number, edge covering number, clique number, independence number, domination number as well as extremal transmission degrees. The graphs achieving the corresponding bounds are delineated. In addition, we investigate the distance signless Laplacian spectrum induced by Indu-Bala product, Cartesian product as well as extended double cover graph.
