Laplacian eigenvalues of equivalent cographs

Combinatorics 2021-08-12 v1

Abstract

Let G and H be equivalent cographs with their reduction R_G and R_H, and suppose the vertices of R_G and R_H are labeled by the twin numbers t_i of the k twin classes they represent. In this paper, we prove that G and H have at least k + \sum_{i\in I}(t_i-1) Laplacian eigenvalues in common, where I is the indices of the twin classes whose types are identical in G and H. This confirms the conjecture proposed by T. Abrishami \cite{Abris}. We also show that no two nonisomorphic equivalent cographs are L-cospectral.
