Spectral properties of random graphs with fixed equitable partition

Abstract

We define a graph to be SS-regular if it contains an equitable partition given by a matrix SS. These graphs are generalizations of both regular and bipartite, biregular graphs. An SS-regular matrix is defined then as a matrix on an SS-regular graph consistent with the graph's equitable partition. In this paper we derive the limiting spectral density for large, random SS-regular matrices as well as limiting functions of certain statistics for their eigenvector coordinates as a function of eigenvalue. These limiting functions are defined in terms of spectral measures on SS-regular trees. In general, these spectral measures do not have a closed-form expression; however, we provide a defining system of polynomials for them. Finally, we explore eigenvalue bounds of SS-regular graph, proving an expander mixing lemma, Alon-Bopana bound, and other eigenvalue inequalities in terms of the eigenvalues of the matrix SS.
