Graphs with many valencies and few eigenvalues

چکیده
Dom de Caen posed the question whether connected graphs with three distinct eigenvalues have at most three distinct valencies. We do not answer this question, but instead construct connected graphs with four and five distinct eigenvalues and arbitrarily many distinct valencies. The graphs with four distinct eigenvalues come from regular two-graphs. As a side result, we characterize the disconnected graphs and the graphs with three distinct eigenvalues in the switching class of a regular two-graph.

A Note on Graphs with Exactly Two Main Eigenvalues
In this note, we consider connected graphs with exactly two main eigenvalues. We will give several constructions for them, and as a consequence we show a family of those graphs with an unbounded number of distinct valencies.
متن کاملSmall graphs with exactly two non-negative eigenvalues
Let $G$ be a graph with eigenvalues $lambda_1(G)geqcdotsgeqlambda_n(G)$. In this paper we find all simple graphs $G$ such that $G$ has at most twelve vertices and $G$ has exactly two non-negative eigenvalues. In other words we find all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices such that $nleq12$ and $lambda_1(G)geq0$, $lambda_2(G)geq0$ and $lambda_3(G)0$, $lambda_2(G)>0$ and $lambda_3(G)
متن کاملOn the eigenvalues of Cayley graphs on generalized dihedral groups
Let $Gamma$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $lambda_1leqlambda_2leqldotsleqlambda_n$. Then the energy of $Gamma$, a concept defined in 1978 by Gutman, is defined as $mathcal{E}(G)=sum_{i=1}^n|lambda_i|$. Also the Estrada index of $Gamma$, which is defined in 2000 by Ernesto Estrada, is defined as $EE(Gamma)=sum_{i=1}^ne^{lambda_i}$. In this paper, we compute the eigen...
متن کاملTwo theorems concerning the Bannai-Ito conjecture
In 1984 Bannai and Ito conjectured that there are finitely many distance-regular graphs with fixed valencies greater than two. In a series of papers, they showed that this is the case for valency 3 and 4, and also for the class of bipartite distance-regular graphs. To prove their result, they used a theorem concerning the intersection array of a triangle-free distance-regular graph, a theorem t...
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...
