A class of integral graphs constructed from the hypercube

The $n$-Queens' graph, $\mathcal{Q}(n)$, is the graph associated to the $n \times n$ chessboard (a generalization of the classical $8 \times 8$ chessboard), with $n^2$ vertices, each one corresponding to a square of the chessboard. Two vertices of $\mathcal{Q}(n)$ are adjacent if and only if they are in the same row, in the same column or in the same diagonal of the chessboard. After a short overview on the main combinatorial properties of $\mathcal{Q}(n)$, its spectral prope...

In this work, we discuss some properties of the eigenvalues of some classes of signed complete graphs. We also obtain the form of characteristic polynomial for these graphs.

Let $\mathcal{G}(n,k)$ be the set of connected graphs of order $n$ with one of the Laplacian eigenvalue having multiplicity $k$. It is well known that $\mathcal{G}(n,n-1)=\{K_n\}$. The graphs of $\mathcal{G}(n,n-2)$ are determined by Das, and the graphs of $\mathcal{G}(n,n-3)$ with four distinct Laplacian eigenvalues are determined by Mohammadian et al. In this paper, we determine the graphs of $\mathcal{G}(n,n-3)$ with three distinct Laplacian eigenvalues, and then the full ...

In this paper, we characterize all connected graphs with exactly three distinct normalized Laplacian eigenvalues of which one is equal to $1$, determine all connected bipartite graphs with at least one vertex of degree $1$ having exactly four distinct normalized Laplacian eigenvalues, and find all unicyclic graphs with three or four distinct normalized Laplacian eigenvalues.

Let $\mathcal{G}(4,2)$ be the set of connected regular graphs with four distinct eigenvalues in which exactly two eigenvalues are simple, $\mathcal{G}(4,2,-1)$ (resp. $\mathcal{G}(4,2,0)$) the set of graphs belonging to $\mathcal{G}(4,2)$ with $-1$ (resp. $0$) as an eigenvalue, and $\mathcal{G}(4,\geq -1)$ the set of connected regular graphs with four distinct eigenvalues and second least eigenvalue not less than $-1$. In this paper, we prove the non-existence of connected gr...

In this paper, we show that a connected graph with smallest eigenvalue at least -3 and large enough minimal degree is 2-integrable. This result generalizes a 1977 result of Hoffman for connected graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least -2.

Let $G$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and let $S(G)$ be the set of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices whose nonzero off-diagonal entries occur in exactly the positions corresponding to the edges of $G$. The inverse eigenvalue problem for a graph $G$ is a problem of determining all possible lists that can occur as the lists of eigenvalues of matrices in $S(G).$ This question is, in general, hard to answer and several variations were studied, most notably the min...

We investigate properties of signed graphs that have few distinct eigenvalues together with a symmetric spectrum. Our main contribution is to determine all signed $(0,2)$-graphs with vertex degree at most $6$ that have precisely two distinct eigenvalues $\pm \lambda$. Next, we consider to what extent induced subgraphs of signed graph with two distinct eigenvalues $\pm \lambda$ are determined by their spectra. Lastly, we classify signed $(0,2)$-graphs that have a symmetric spe...

The sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of a graph is called the energy of the graph. We study the problem of finding graphs with extremal energy within specified classes of graphs. We develop tools for treating such problems and obtain some partial results. Using calculus, we show that an extremal graph ``should'' have a small number of distinct eigenvalues. However, we also present data that shows in many cases that extremal graphs can have a large number of disti...

In this paper we consider particular graphs defined by $\overline{\overline{\overline{K_{\alpha_1}}\cup K_{\alpha_2}}\cup\cdots \cup K_{\alpha_k}}$, where $k$ is even, $K_\alpha$ is a complete graph on $\alpha$ vertices, $\cup$ stands for the disjoint union and an overline denotes the complementary graph. These graphs do not contain the $4$-vertex path as an induced subgraph, i.e., they belong to the class of cographs. In addition, they are iteratively constructed from the ge...
