Subdivision and Graph Eigenvalues

Combinatorics 2023-03-21 v1

Abstract

This paper investigates the asymptotic nature of graph spectra when some edges of a graph are subdivided sufficiently many times. In the special case where all edges of a graph are subdivided, we find the exact limits of the kk-th largest and kk-th smallest eigenvalues for any fixed kk. It is expected that after subdivision, most eigenvalues of the new graph will lie in the interval [2,2][-2,2]. We examine the eigenvalues of the new graph outside this interval, and we prove several results that might be of independent interest.
