Inverse eigenvalue problem for Laplacian matrices of a graph

Combinatorics 2024-12-03 v2

Abstract

For a given graph GG, we aim to determine the possible realizable spectra for a generalized (or sometimes referred to as a weighted) Laplacian matrix associated with GG. This new specialized inverse eigenvalue problem is considered for certain families of graphs and graphs on a small number of vertices. Related considerations include studying the possible ordered multiplicity lists associated with stars and complete graphs and graphs with a few vertices. Finally, we present a novel investigation, both theoretically and numerically, the minimum variance over a family of generalized Laplacian matrices with a size-normalized weighting.
