Project goals: To establish the cooperation between researchers from Serbia and Portugal in the field of spectral graph theory, and thereby to publish papers with emphasis on application of this theory to computer sciences. Particular interest will be paid in problems related to study:
- graphs with largest eigenvalue within bipartite graphs;
- reflexive graphs with second largest eigenvalue less than or equal to 2;
- characterization of vertices of graphs under the most common graph perturbation (deletion of a vertex), which gives rise to downer, neutral and Parter vertices;
- a new algorithm for generating regular exceptional graphs, i.e. graphs arising from the root system E8;
- studying the main vertices of graphs in the context of star complements.
