Graphs determined by their (signless) Laplacian spectra.
Let be a connected graph with vertex set . The distance matrix is the matrix indexed by the vertices of , where denotes the distance between the vertices and . Suppose that are the distance spectrum of . The graph is said to be determined by its -spectrum if with respect to the distance matrix , any graph having the same spectrum as is isomorphic to . We give the distance characteristic polynomial of some graphs with small diameter, and also prove that these graphs are determined...
Combining the study of the simple random walk on graphs, generating functions (especially Green functions), complex dynamics and general complex analysis we introduce a new method for spectral analysis on self-similar graphs.First, for a rather general, axiomatically defined class of self-similar graphs a graph theoretic analogue to the Banach fixed point theorem is proved. The subsequent results hold for a subclass consisting of “symmetrically” self-similar graphs which however is still more general then...
If X is a geodesic metric space and x 1; x 2; x 3 ∈ X, a geodesic triangle T = {x 1; x 2; x 3} is the union of the three geodesics [x 1 x 2], [x 2 x 3] and [x 3 x 1] in X. The space X is δ-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense) if any side of T is contained in a δ-neighborhood of the union of the two other sides, for every geodesic triangle T in X. We denote by δ(X) the sharp hyperbolicity constant of X, i.e., δ(X) = inf {δ ≥ 0: X is δ-hyperbolic}. We obtain information about the hyperbolicity constant...
Let be homogeneous trees with degrees , respectively. For each tree, let be the Busemann function with respect to a fixed boundary point (end). Its level sets are the horocycles. The horocyclic product of is the graph consisting of all -tuples with , equipped with a natural neighbourhood relation. In the present paper, we explore the geometric, algebraic, analytic and probabilistic properties of these graphs and their isometry groups. If and then we obtain a Cayley graph of the...
