Ordered multiplicity inverse eigenvalue problem for graphs on six vertices


Abstract in English

For a graph $G$, we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, $mathcal{S}(G)$, where for any $M in mathcal{S}(G)$, the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of $M$ are governed by the adjacency structure of $G$. The ordered multiplicity Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of a Graph (IEPG) is concerned with finding all attainable ordered lists of eigenvalue multiplicities for matrices in $mathcal{S}(G)$. For connected graphs of order six, we offer significant progress on the IEPG, as well as a complete solution to the ordered multiplicity IEPG. We also show that while $K_{m,n}$ with $min(m,n)ge 3$ attains a particular ordered multiplicity list, it cannot do so with arbitrary spectrum.
