Let $\Gamma(G,S)$ denote the Cayley graph of a group $G$ with respect to a set $S \subset G$. In this paper, we analyze the spectral properties of the Cayley graphs $\mathcal{T}_{m,n,k} = \Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_m \ltimes_k \mathbb{Z}_n, \{(\pm…

For integers $k>\ell\ge0$, a graph $G$ is $(k,\ell)$-stable if $\alpha(G-S)\geq \alpha(G)-\ell$ for every $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|=k$. A recent result of Dong and Wu [SIAM J. Discrete Math., 36 (2022) 229--240] shows that every…
