Regularize a graph while embedding the spectrum of adjacency matrix

Given an irregular graph $G$ whose maximum degree is $d$, I am interested in producing a new graph $G'$ which is regular and has the spectrum of the adjacency spectrum of $G$ embedded in the spectrum ...

Non-diagonalizability of the adjacency matrix of a directed graph

Let $G$ be a directed graph with no multiple edges or loops and let $P_i$ be its vertices. Let $A$ be the corresponding adjacency matrix of $G$, i.e. $a_{i,j}=1$ if and only if there is a directed ...

(How) does the spectral gap of the $n\times n$ Rubik's cube close with $n$?

Consider the spectrum of the adjacency matrix $A$ of the Cayley graph of the standard, 3x3x3 Rubik's cube generated with the usual quarter-turn and half-turn twists of each face (the Singmaster ...

Formulas to determine the value of graph energy with addition or deletion of edges

If $G$ is a graph, then the graph energy of $G$ denoted by $E(G)$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$. It is known that $E(G)\geq E(G-v)$, where $ ...

Factorization of the characteristic polynomial of the adjacency matrix of a graph

Let $G$ be a regular graph of valence $d$ with finitely many vertices, let $A_G$ be its adjacency matrix, and let $$P_G(X)=\det(X-A_G)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$$ be the adjacency polynomial of $G$, i.e., the ...

Eigenvalues of the complement of a graph

Let $A$ and $\widetilde A$ be the adjacency matrices of a graph $G$ and of its complement, respectively. Is there any relation between the eigenvalues of $A + \widetilde A$ and the eigenvalues of $A$ ...

Digraphs with unique walk of length $k$ between any two vertices

Let $G$ be a digraph such that there is an unique directed walk of length $k$ between any two vertices. Equivalently, if $A$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$, then $A^k$ is the matrix with all entries $...

When does a row standardized adjacency matrix have a real spectrum?

A colleague in spatial statistics was looking at a map with about 600 regions. For the application she's considering, the induced adjacency matrix had some undesirable properties (where two regions ...

Spectrum of an adjacency matrix

The adjacency matrix of a non-oriented connected graph is symmetric, hence its spectrum is real. If the graph is bipartite, then the spectrum of its adjacency matrix is symmetric about 0. A few ...
