Two graphs are cospectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multiset of eigenvalues, and generalized cospectral if they are cospectral and so are their complements. We study generalized cospectrality in relation to…

We consider Laplacians on periodic equilateral metric graphs. The spectrum of the Laplacian consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of an infinite number of non-degenerated spectral bands) plus an infinite number of flat…

The paper deals with some spectral properties of (mostly infinite) quantum and combinatorial graphs. Quantum graphs have been intensively studied lately due to their numerous applications to mesoscopic physics, nanotechnology, optics, and…

Two graphs having the same spectrum are said to be cospectral. Two graphs such that the absolute values of their nonzero eigenvalues coincide are singularly cospectral graphs. Cospectrality implies singular cospectrality, but the converse…

Graph Laplacians as well as related spectral inequalities and (co-)homology provide a foray into discrete analogues of Riemannian manifolds, providing a rich interplay between combinatorics, geometry and theoretical physics. We apply some…

Recently normalized Laplacian matrices of graphs are studied as density matrices in quantum mechanics. Separability and entanglement of density matrices are important properties as they determine the nonclassical behavior in quantum…

Switching is an operation on a graph that does not change the spectrum of the adjacency matrix, thus producing cospectral graphs. An important activity in the field of spectral graph theory is the characterization of graphs by their…

For vertex and edge connectivity we construct infinitely many pairs of regular graphs with the same spectrum, but with different connectivity.

We prove a theorem that can be thought of as a common generalization of the Discrete Nodal Theorem and (one direction of) Cheeger's Inequality for graphs. special case of this result will assert that if the second and third eigenvalues of…

In recent years, discrete spaces such as graphs attract much attention as models for physical spacetime or as models for testing the spirit of non-commutative geometry. In this work, we construct the differential algebras for graphs by…

Construction of non-isomorphic cospectral graphs is a nontrivial problem in spectral graph theory specially for large graphs. In this paper, we establish that graph theoretical partial transpose of a graph is a potential tool to create…

Urschel introduced a notion of nodal partitioning to prove an upper bound on the number of nodal decomposition of discrete Laplacian eigenvectors. The result is an analogue to the well-known Courant's nodal domain theorem on continuous…
