let $n$ be any positive integer and let $f_n$ be the friendship (or dutch windmill) graph with $2n+1$ vertices and $3n$ edges. here we study graphs with the same adjacency spectrum as the $f_n$. two graphs are called cospectral if the eigenvalues multiset of their adjacency matrices are the same. let $g$ be a graph cospectral with $f_n$. here we prove that if $g$ has no cycle of length $4$ or $...
