Graphs and Hermitian matrices: exact interlacing

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v2 Commutative Algebra

Abstract

We prove conditions for equality between the extreme eigenvalues of a matrix and its quotient. In particular, we give a lower bound on the largest singular value of a matrix and generalize a result of Finck and Grohmann about the largest eigenvalue of a graph.
