Abstract
For a graph , we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, , where for any , the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of are governed by the adjacency structure of . The ordered multiplicity Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of a Graph (IEPG) is concerned with finding all attainable ordered lists of eigenvalue multiplicities for matrices in . For connected graphs of order six, we offer significant progress on the IEPG, as well as a complete solution to the ordered multiplicity IEPG. We also show that while with attains a particular ordered multiplicity list, it cannot do so with arbitrary spectrum.
