Diameters, distortion, and eigenvalues

چکیده
We study the relation between the diameter, the first positive eigenvalue of the discrete p-Laplacian and the `p-distortion of a finite graph. We prove an inequality relating these three quantities and apply it to families of Cayley and Schreier graphs. We also show that the `p-distortion of Pascal graphs, approximating the Sierpinski gasket, is bounded, which allows to obtain estimates for the convergence to zero of the spectral gap as an application of the main result.

Integral Trees of Arbitrarily Large Diameters
In this paper we construct trees having only integer eigenvalues with arbitrarily large diameters. In fact, we prove that for every set S of positive integers there exists a tree whose positive eigenvalues are exactly the elements of S. If the set S is different from the set {1} then the constructed tree will have diameter 2|S|.

We derive a new upper bound for the diameter of a k-regular graphG as a function of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. Namely, supposethe adjacency matrix of G has eigenvalues AI , A2 .••.• An with lAd:::: IA21 ::::... :::: IAnl where AI = k, A = IA21. Then the diameter D(G) must satisfy D(G) :::; rlog(n 1)f1og(k/A)l. We wilJ consider families of graphs whose eigenvalues can b...
متن کاملEigenvalues of Transmission Graph Laplacians
The standard notion of the Laplacian of a graph is generalized to the setting of a graph with the extra structure of a “transmission” system. A transmission system is a mathematical representation of a means of transmitting (multi-parameter) data along directed edges from vertex to vertex. The associated transmission graph Laplacian is shown to have many of the former properties of the classica...
متن کاملVariation of pelvic diameters due to different scanning positions--the experimental study.
The distortion of human pelvis X ray scans, due to different scanning positions, can cause huge mistakes in estimation of pelvic diameters. The aim of the study was to quantify distortion of pelvic diameters in relation to scanning inclination angles. Twenty anatomically defined spots on the pelvis of a young male cadaver, freed of soft tissues, were marked with 3 mm metal balls. The digitalize...
متن کاملEigenvalues, eigenspaces and distances to subsets
In this note we show how to improve and generalize some calculations of diameters and distances in sufficiently symmetrical graphs, by taking all the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the graph into account. We present some applications of these results to the problem of finding tight upper bounds on the covering radius of error-correcting codes, when the weight distribution of the code (o...
