Abstract

In this note we show that the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a threshold graph is at most 44. Moreover, given any threshold graph GG and any nonzero real number λ\lambda, we explicitly construct a matrix MM associated with GG such that DSpec(M){λ,0,λ,2λ}(M)\subseteq\{-\lambda,0,\lambda,2\lambda\}.
