The second eigenvalue of regular graphs of given girth
نویسنده
چکیده
Lower bounds on the subdominant eigenvalue of regular graphs of given girth are derived. Our approach is to approximate the discrete spectrum of a finite regular graph by the continuous spectrum of an infinite regular tree. We interpret these spectra as probability distributions and the girth condition as equalities between the moments of these distributions. Then the associated orthogonal polynomials coincide up to a degree equal to half the girth, and their extremal zeroes provide bounds on the supports of these distributions.

The Second Eigenvalue and Random Walks in Random Regular Graphs with Increasing Girth
The goal of this thesis is to upper bound the expected value of the second largest eigenvalue in magnitude of random regular graphs with a given minimum girth. Having a small upper bound implies such random graphs are likely to be expanders and thus have several combinatorial properties useful in various fields of computer science. The best possible upper bound asymptotically on the second eige...
متن کاملSome Results on the Eigenvalues of Distance-Regular Graphs
In 1986, Terwilliger showed that there is a strong relation between the eigenvalues of a distance-regular graph and the eigenvalues of a local graph. In particular, he showed that the eigenvalues of a local graph are bounded in terms of the eigenvalues of a distance-regular graph, and he also showed that if an eigenvalue θ of the distance-regular graph has multiplicity m less than its valency k...
متن کاملDistance-regular graphs with an eigenvalue
It is known that bipartite distance-regular graphs with diameter D > 3, valency k > 3, intersection number c2 > 2 and eigenvalues k = θ0 > θ1 > · · · > θD satisfy θ1 6 k− 2 and thus θD−1 > 2− k. In this paper we classify non-complete distanceregular graphs with valency k > 2, intersection number c2 > 2 and an eigenvalue θ satisfying −k < θ 6 2 − k. Moreover, we give a lower bound for valency k ...
متن کاملIsoperimetric Inequalities and Eigenvalues
An upper bound is given on the minimum distance between i subsets of the same size of a regular graph in terms of the i-th largest eigenvalue in absolute value. This yields a bound on the diameter in terms of the i-th largest eigenvalue, for any integer i. Our bounds are shown to be asymptotically tight. A recent result by Quenell relating the diameter, the second eigenvalue, and the girth of a...
متن کاملNon-Hamiltonian 3–Regular Graphs with Arbitrary Girth
It is well known that 3–regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth exist. Three constructions are given that use the former to produce non-Hamiltonian 3–regular graphs without reducing the girth, thereby proving that such graphs with arbitrarily large girth also exist. The resulting graphs can be 1–, 2– or 3–edge-connected depending on the construction chosen. From the constructions arise (nai...
