An Introduction to the Theory of Graph Spectra By: Dragoš Cvetković; Peter Rowlinson; Slobodan Simić Publisher: Cambridge University Press Print ISBN: 9780521118392, 0521118395 eText ISBN: 9781139244596, 1139244590 Edition: 1st Format: PDF Available from $ 46.00 USD SKU 9781139244596 This introductory text explores the theory of graph spectra: a topic with applications across a wide range of subjects, including computer science, quantum chemistry and electrical engineering. The spectra examined here are those of the adjacency matrix, the Seidel matrix, the Laplacian, the normalized Laplacian and the signless Laplacian of a finite simple graph. The underlying theme of the book is the relation between the eigenvalues and structure of a graph. Designed as an introductory text for graduate students, or anyone using the theory of graph spectra, this self-contained treatment assumes only a little knowledge of graph theory and linear algebra. The authors include many developments in the field which arise as a result of rapidly expanding interest in the area. Exercises, spectral data and proofs of required results are also provided. The end-of-chapter notes serve as a practical guide to the extensive bibliography of over 500 items. Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/6xsa5j
