Altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons were recently introduced and studied in theoretical organic chemistry. We now provide a generalization of the altan concept, applicable to any graph. Several earlier noticed topological properties of altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons are shown to be the properties of all altan derivatives of all graphs. Among these ar...

Several matrices can be associated to a graph such as the adjacency matrix or the Laplacian matrix. The spectrum of these matrices gives some informations about the structure of the graph and the question “Which graphs are determined by their spectrum?” remains a difficult problem in algebraic graph theory. In this article we enlarge the known families of graphs determined by their spectrum by ...

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...

Let Gl be the graph obtained from Kl by adhering the root of isomorphic trees T to every vertex of Kl, and dk−j+1 be the degree of vertices in the level j. In this paper we study the spectrum of the adjacency matrix A(Gl) and the Laplacian matrix L(Gl) for all positive integer l, and give some results about the spectrum of the adjacency matrix A(Gl) and the Laplacian matrix L(Gl). By using thes...

An oriented graph Gσ is a simple undirected graph G with an orientation, which assigns to each edge a direction so that Gσ becomes a directed graph. G is called the underlying graph of Gσ and we denote by S(Gσ) the skew-adjacency matrix of Gσ and its spectrum Sp(Gσ) is called the skew-spectrum of Gσ. In this paper, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the skew-adjacency matrix S...

Godsil-McKay switching is an operation on graphs that doesn’t change the spectrum of the adjacency matrix. Usually (but not always) the obtained graph is non-isomorphic with the original graph. We present a straightforward sufficient condition for being isomorphic after switching, and give examples which show that this condition is not necessary. For some graph products we obtain sufficient con...

In this paper we define extended corona and extended neighborhood corona of two graphs G1 and G2, which are denoted by G1 • G2 and G1 ∗ G2 respectively. We compute their adjacency spectrum, Laplacian spectrum and signless Laplacian spectrum. As applications, we give methods to construct infinite families of integral graphs, Laplacian integral graphs and expander graphs from known ones.
