Cospectral Graphs and Regular Orthogonal Matrices of Level 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a graph Γ with adjacency matrix A, we consider a switching operation that takes Γ into a graph Γ′ with adjacency matrix A′, defined by A′ = Q > AQ, where Q is a regular orthogonal matrix of level 2 (that is, Q > Q = I, Q1 = 1, 2Q is integral, and Q is not a permutation matrix). If such an operation exists, and Γ is nonisomorphic with Γ′, then we say that Γ′ is semi-isomorphic with Γ. Semiisomorphic graphs are R-cospectral, which means that they are cospectral and so are their complements. Wang and Xu [‘On the asymptotic behavior of graphs determined by their generalized spectra’, Discrete Math. 310 (2010)] expect that almost all pairs of nonisomorphic R-cospectral graphs are semi-isomorphic. Regular orthogonal matrices of level 2 have been classified. By use of this classification we work out the requirements for this switching operation to work in case Q has one nontrivial indecomposable block of size 4, 6, 7 or 8. Size 4 corresponds to Godsil-McKay switching. The other cases provide new methods for constructions of R-cospectral graphs. For graphs with eight vertices all these constructions are carried out. As a result we find that, out of the 1166 graphs on eight vertices which are R-cospectral to another graph, only 44 are not semi-isomorphic to another graph.

ON NEW CLASSES OF MULTICONE GRAPHS DETERMINED BY THEIR SPECTRUMS
A multicone graph is defined to be join of a clique and a regular graph. A graph $ G $ is cospectral with graph $ H $ if their adjacency matrices have the same eigenvalues. A graph $ G $ is said to be determined by its spectrum or DS for short, if for any graph $ H $ with $ Spec(G)=Spec(H)$, we conclude that $ G $ is isomorphic to $ H $. In this paper, we present new classes of multicone graphs...
متن کاملA note on non-R-cospectral graphs
Two graphs G and H are called R-cospectral if A(G)+yJ and A(H)+yJ (where A(G), A(H) are the adjacency matrices of G and H, respectively, J is the all-one matrix) have the same spectrum for all y ∈ R. In this note, we give a necessary condition for having R-cospectral graphs. Further, we provide a sufficient condition ensuring only irrational orthogonal similarity between certain cospectral grap...
متن کاملOn the p-Ranks of the Adjacency Matrices of Distance-Regular Graphs
Let be a distance-regular graph with adjacency matrix A. Let I be the identity matrix and J the all-1 matrix. Let p be a prime. We study the p-rank of the matrices A + bJ − cI for integral b, c and the p-rank of corresponding matrices of graphs cospectral with . Using the minimal polynomial of A and the theory of Smith normal forms we first determine which p-ranks of A follow directly from the ...
متن کاملD-Spectrum and D-Energy of Complements of Iterated Line Graphs of Regular Graphs
The D-eigenvalues {µ1,…,µp} of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D and form its D-spectrum. The D-energy, ED(G) of G is given by ED (G) =∑i=1p |µi|. Two non cospectral graphs with respect to D are said to be D-equi energetic if they have the same D-energy. In this paper we show that if G is an r-regular graph on p vertices with 2r ≤ p - 1, then the complements of iterated lin...
متن کاملThe Critical Groups of the Peisert Graphs
The critical group of a finite graph is an abelian group defined by the Smith normal form of the Laplacian. We determine the critical groups of the Peisert graphs, a certain family of strongly regular graphs similar to, but different from, the Paley graphs. It is further shown that the adjacency matrices of the two graphs defined over a field of order p2 with p ≡ 3 (mod 4) are similar over the ...
