A spectral condition for Hamilton cycles in tough bipartite graphs
Let $G$ be a graph. The {\em spectral radius} of $G$ is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. For a non-complete bipartite graph $G$ with parts $X$ and $Y$, the {\em bipartite toughness} of $G$ is defined as $t^{B}(G)=\min\left\{\frac{|S|}{c(G-S)}\right\}$, where the minimum is taken over all proper subsets $S\subset X$ (or $S\subset Y$) such that $c(G-S)>1$. In this paper, we give a sharp spectral radius condition for balanced bipartite graphs $G$ with $t^{B}(G)\geq1$ to gu…

I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those #Mamdani
