A graph G is said to be determined by its generalized spectrum (DGS for short) if for any graph H, H and G are cospectral with cospectral complements implies that H is isomorphic to G. Let Ĝ be the graph obtained from G by adding a pendent edge at every vertex of G. We show that Ĝ is DGS if and only if G is DGS for some graph G. This gives a simple way to construct large DGS graphs from small ones explicitly. In particular, we show that every graph in the infinite sequence G, Ĝ , Ĝ , · · · is DGS, for some DGS graph G.
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.
