Metric uniformization and spectral bounds for graphs

چکیده
We present a method for proving upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian. A main step involves choosing an appropriate “Riemannian” metric to uniformize the geometry of the graph. In many interesting cases, the existence of such a metric is shown by examining the combinatorics of special types of flows. This involves proving new inequalities on the crossing number of graphs. In particular, we use our method to show that for any positive integer k, the k smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian on an n-vertex, bounded-degree planar graph is O(k/n). This bound is asymptotically tight for every k, as it is easily seen to be achieved for square planar grids. We also extend this spectral result to graphs with bounded genus, and graphs which forbid fixed minors. Previously, such spectral upper bounds were only known for the case k = 2.

In this paper some upper and lower bounds for the greatest eigenvalues of the PI and vertex PI matrices of a graph G are obtained. Those graphs for which these bounds are best possible are characterized.
متن کاملOn Complementary Distance Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius and Energy of Graphs
Let $D$ be a diameter and $d_G(v_i, v_j)$ be the distance between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of a connected graph $G$. The complementary distance signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $CDL^+(G)=[c_{ij}]$ in which $c_{ij}=1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j)$ if $ineq j$ and $c_{ii}=sum_{j=1}^{n}(1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j))$. The complementary transmission $CT_G(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is defined as $CT_G(v)=sum_{u in ...
متن کاملOn Zagreb Energy and edge-Zagreb energy
In this paper, we obtain some upper and lower bounds for the general extended energy of a graph. As an application, we obtain few bounds for the (edge) Zagreb energy of a graph. Also, we deduce a relation between Zagreb energy and edge-Zagreb energy of a graph $G$ with minimum degree $delta ge2$. A lower and upper bound for the spectral radius of the edge-Zagreb matrix is obtained. Finally, we ...
متن کاملA CHARACTERIZATION FOR METRIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHS AND THEIR ENUMERATION
The textit{metric dimension} of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a subset $B$ of $G$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $B$. In this case, $B$ is called a textit{metric basis} for $G$. The textit{basic distance} of a metric two dimensional graph $G$ is the distance between the elements of $B$. Givi...
