Ela Graphs with Small Spectral Gap∗

چکیده
It is conjectured that connected graphs with given number of vertices and minimum spectral gap (i.e., the difference between their two largest eigenvalues) are double kite graphs. The conjecture is confirmed for connected graphs with at most 10 vertices, and, using variable neighbourhood metaheuristic, there is evidence that it is true for graphs with at most 15 vertices. Several spectral properties of double kite graphs are obtained, including the equations for their first two eigenvalues. No counterexamples to the conjecture are obtained. Some numerical computations and comparisons that indicate its correctness are also given. Next, 3 lower and 3 upper bounds on spectral gap are derived, and some spectral and structural properties of the graphs that minimize the spectral gap are given. At the end, it is shown that in connected graphs any double kite graph has a unique spectrum.

SIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRAL MOMENTS OF GRAPHS AND ORDERING SOME GRAPHS WITH RESPECT TO THEM
Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph. Denote by $D(G)$ the diagonal matrix $diag(d_1,cdots,d_n)$, where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ and $A(G)$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signless Laplacianmatrix of $G$ is $Q(G) = D(G) + A(G)$ and the $k-$th signless Laplacian spectral moment of graph $G$ is defined as $T_k(G)=sum_{i=1}^{n}q_i^{k}$, $kgeqslant 0$, where $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...
متن کاملEla the Minimum Spectral Radius of Graphs with a given Clique Number∗
In this paper, it is shown that among connected graphs with maximum clique size ω, the minimum value of the spectral radius of adjacency matrix is attained for a kite graph PKn−ω,ω , which consists of a complete graph Kω to a vertex of which a path Pn−ω is attached. For any fixed ω, a small interval to which the spectral radii of kites PKm,ω , m ≥ 1, belong is exhibited.
