The Construction of Cospectral Composite Graphs

Abstract: Summary An operation loosely described as a type of composition of graphs is studied. Under rather flexible conditions, the resulting composite graphs must be cospectral. This operation is sufficiently powerful to generate eighty‐one cospectral pairs with at most nine vertices. These pairs include the unique smallest cospectral pair, the smallest cospectral connected pair, and one pair of trees with nine vertices. It is felt that this operation provides a unified explanation of cospectrality in several cases t… Show more

“…It is routine to verify that QAQ-l = A', and so this proves Theorem 1.5.4(i). D Theorem 1.5.5 (Schwenk, Herndon, and Ellzey [234]) If Gl is a regular graph and if IV(Gdl = 21Tl l, then B(Gl ,Tl ,G2,T2) and B(Gl , V(Gd -TI,G2,T2) have the same spectrum.…”

“…In 1957, Collatz and Sinogowitz [10] presented a pair of non-isomorphic cospectral trees. In 1973, Schwenk [36] proved that almost every tree has a cospectral mate by constructing a non-isomorphic cospectral tree for each tree of sufficiently large order. In 1982, Godsil and McKay [24] invented a powerful method called GM-switching, which can produce lots of pairs of cospectral graphs.…”
