چکیده
We give a method to construct cospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian by swapping edges between vertices in some special graphs. We also give a method to construct an arbitrarily large family of (non-bipartite) graphs which are mutually cospectral for the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph.

Cospectral Bipartite Graphs for the Normalized Laplacian Table of Contents
We construct two infinite families of trees that are pairwise cospectral with respect to the normalized Laplacian. We also use the normalized Laplacian applied to weighed graphs to give new constructions of cospectral pairs of bipartite unweighted graphs.
متن کاملCospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian by “toggling”
A characteristic of the normalized Laplacian matrix is the possibility for cospectral graphs which do not have the same number of edges. We give a construction of an infinite family of weighted graphs that are pairwise cospectral and which can be transformed into simple graphs. In particular, some of these graphs are cospectral with subgraphs of themselves. In the proof we deconstruct these gra...
متن کاملUsing twins and scaling to construct cospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian
The spectrum of the normalized Laplacian matrix cannot determine the number of edges in a graph, however finding constructions of cospectral graphs with differing number of edges has been elusive. In this paper we use basic properties of twins and scaling to show how to construct such graphs. We also give examples of families of graphs which are cospectral with a subgraph for the normalized Lap...
متن کاملA cospectral family of graphs for the normalized Laplacian found by toggling
We give a construction of a family of (weighted) graphs that are pairwise cospectral with respect to the normalized Laplacian matrix, or equivalently probability transition matrix. This construction can be used to form pairs of cospectral graphs with differing number of edges, including situations where one graph is a subgraph of the other. The method used to demonstrate cospectrality is by sho...
متن کاملCospectral graphs for both the adjacency and normalized Laplacian matrices
In this note we show how to construct two distinct bipartite graphs which are cospectral for both the adjacency and normalized Laplacian matrices by “unfolding” a base bipartite graph in two different ways.
