Improved lower bounds on the extrema of eigenvalues of graphs

Combinatorics 2023-06-21 v2

Abstract

In this note, we improve the lower bounds for the maximum size of the kkth largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph for several values of kk. In particular, we show that closed blowups of the icosahedral graph improve the lower bound for the maximum size of the fourth largest eigenvalue of a graph, answering a question of Nikiforov.
