Bounds on the subdominant eigenvalue involving group inverses with applications to graphs
Let be an symmetric, irreducible, and nonnegative matrix whose eigenvalues are . In this paper we derive several lower and upper bounds, in particular on and , but also, indirectly, on . The bounds are in terms of the diagonal entries of the group generalized inverse, , of the singular and irreducible M-matrix . Our starting point is a spectral resolution for . We consider the case of equality in some of these inequalities and we apply our results to the algebraic connectivity of undirected...
