Dense-core approach to the Brualdi--Hoffman--Tur\'{a}n problem on odd wheels

We present a unified presentation of the fixed-size adjacency-spectral extremal problem for odd wheels $W_{2k+1}$, where $k\geq2$ and $W_{2k+1}=K_1\vee C_{2k}$. The exceptional case $W_5$ and the general case $W_{2k+1}$, $k\ge3$, share the same dense-core reduction and edge-spectral stability, but have different rigidi...
