Graphs Cospectral with a Friendship Graph or Its Complement

چکیده
Let n be any positive integer and Fn be the friendship (or Dutch windmill) graph with 2n+1 vertices and 3n edges. Here we study graphs with the same adjacency spectrum as Fn. Two graphs are called cospectral if the eigenvalues multiset of their adjacency matrices are the same. Let G be a graph cospectral with Fn. Here we prove that if G has no cycle of length 4 or 5, then G ∼= Fn. Moreover if G is connected and planar then G ∼= Fn. All but one of connected components of G are isomorphic to K2. The complement Fn of the friendship graph is determined by its adjacency eigenvalues, that is, if Fn is cospectral with a graph H, then H ∼= Fn.

ON NEW CLASSES OF MULTICONE GRAPHS DETERMINED BY THEIR SPECTRUMS
A multicone graph is defined to be join of a clique and a regular graph. A graph $ G $ is cospectral with graph $ H $ if their adjacency matrices have the same eigenvalues. A graph $ G $ is said to be determined by its spectrum or DS for short, if for any graph $ H $ with $ Spec(G)=Spec(H)$, we conclude that $ G $ is isomorphic to $ H $. In this paper, we present new classes of multicone graphs...
متن کاملA Construction of Cospectral Graphs for the Normalized Laplacian
We give a method to construct cospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian by a local modification in some graphs with special structure. Namely, under some simple assumptions, we can replace a small bipartite graph with a cospectral mate without changing the spectrum of the entire graph. We also consider a related result for swapping out biregular bipartite graphs for the matrix A + tD. We p...
متن کاملOpen problems for equienergetic graphs
The energy of a graph is equal to the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. Two graphs of the same order are said to be equienergetic if their energies are equal. We point out the following two open problems for equienergetic graphs. (1) Although it is known that there are numerous pairs of equienergetic, non-cospectral trees, it is not known how to systematically construct any such pa...
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...
متن کاملGroups all of whose undirected Cayley graphs are determined by their spectra
The adjacency spectrum Spec(Γ) of a graph Γ is the multiset of eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Two graphs with the same spectrum are called cospectral. A graph Γ is “determined by its spectrum” (DS for short) if every graph cospectral to it is in fact isomorphic to it. A group is DS if all of its Cayley graphs are DS. A group G is Cay-DS if every two cospectral Cayley graphs of G are isomo...
