Spectral Graph Theory and Applications WS 2011 / 2012 Lecture 2 : Spectra of Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Our goal is to use the properties of the adjacency/Laplacian matrix of graphs to first understand the structure of the graph and, based on these insights, to design efficient algorithms. The study of algebraic properties of graphs is called algebraic graph theory. One of the most useful algebraic properties of graphs are the eigenvalues (and eigenvectors) of the adjacency/Laplacian matrix.

THE SPECTRAL DETERMINATION OF THE MULTICONE GRAPHS Kw ▽ C WITH RESPECT TO THEIR SIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRA
The main aim of this study is to characterize new classes of multicone graphs which are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let C and K w denote the Clebsch graph and a complete graph on w vertices, respectively. In this paper, we show that the multicone graphs K w ▽C are determined by their signless ...
متن کاملSIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRAL MOMENTS OF GRAPHS AND ORDERING SOME GRAPHS WITH RESPECT TO THEM
Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph. Denote by $D(G)$ the diagonal matrix $diag(d_1,cdots,d_n)$, where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ and $A(G)$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signless Laplacianmatrix of $G$ is $Q(G) = D(G) + A(G)$ and the $k-$th signless Laplacian spectral moment of graph $G$ is defined as $T_k(G)=sum_{i=1}^{n}q_i^{k}$, $kgeqslant 0$, where $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...
متن کاملSpectral Recognition of Graphs1
At some time, in the childhood of spectral graph theory, it was conjectured that non-isomorphic graphs have different spectra, i.e. that graphs are characterized by their spectra. Very quickly this conjecture was refuted and numerous examples and families of non-isomorphic graphs with the same spectrum (cospectral graphs) were found. Still some graphs are characterized by their spectra and seve...
متن کاملWS 2011 / 2012 Lecture 8 : Construction of Expanders
In this lecture we study the explicit constructions of expander graphs. Although we can construct expanders probabilistically, this does not suffice for many applications. • One applications of expander graphs is for reducing the randomness complexity of algorithms (cmp. Lecture 6), thus constructing the graph itself randomly does not serve this purpose. • Sometimes we may even need expanders o...
متن کاملCOSPECTRALITY MEASURES OF GRAPHS WITH AT MOST SIX VERTICES
Cospectrality of two graphs measures the differences between the ordered spectrum of these graphs in various ways. Actually, the origin of this concept came back to Richard Brualdi's problems that are proposed in cite{braldi}: Let $G_n$ and $G'_n$ be two nonisomorphic simple graphs on $n$ vertices with spectra$$lambda_1 geq lambda_2 geq cdots geq lambda_n ;;;text{and};;; lambda'_1 geq lambda'_2...
