We introduce a generalized adjacency matrix in order to distinguish cospectral graphs. Our reasoning is motivated by the work of Johnson and Newman and properties of p-adic numbers. Using a polynomial time algorithm, we comment on computer experiments with which we can distinguish cospectral (non-isomorphic) graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
