On the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs

Ji-Ming Guo, Lin Feng, Jiong-Ming Zhang (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper we investigate the effect on the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues of two disjoint connected graphs when adding an edge between them. As an application of the result, the multiplicity of 1 as a Laplacian eigenvalue of trees is also considered.

On the Relationships between Zero Forcing Numbers and Certain Graph Coverings

Fatemeh Alinaghipour Taklimi, Shaun Fallat, Karen Meagher (2014)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

The zero forcing number and the positive zero forcing number of a graph are two graph parameters that arise from two types of graph colourings. The zero forcing number is an upper bound on the minimum number of induced paths in the graph that cover all the vertices of the graph, while the positive zero forcing number is an upper bound on the minimum number of induced trees in the graph needed to cover all the vertices in the graph. We show that for a block-cycle graph the zero forcing...

Connectivity, toughness, spanning trees of bounded degree, and the spectrum of regular graphs

Sebastian M. Cioabă, Xiaofeng Gu (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The eigenvalues of graphs are related to many of its combinatorial properties. In his fundamental work, Fiedler showed the close connections between the Laplacian eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a graph and its vertex-connectivity and edge-connectivity. We present some new results describing the connections between the spectrum of a regular graph and other combinatorial parameters such as its generalized connectivity, toughness, and the existence of spanning trees with bounded degree. ...
