Spectra of extended double cover graphs
The construction of the extended double cover was introduced by N. Alon [1] in 1986. For a simple graph with vertex set , the extended double cover of , denoted , is the bipartite graph with bipartition where and , in which and are adjacent iff or and are adjacent in . In this paper we obtain formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the spectrum of in terms of the corresponding information of . Three formulas are derived for the number of spanning trees in for a connected...
