Eigenvalues and expansion of bipartite graphs

Abstract: We prove lower bounds on the largest and second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of connected bipartite graphs and give necessary and sufficient conditions for equality. We give several examples of classes of graphs that are optimal with respect to the bounds. We prove that BIBD-graphs are characterized by their eigenvalues. Finally we present a new bound on the expansion coefficient of (c, d)-regular bipartite graphs and compare that with with a classical bound.

“…In this paper, we studied b(k, θ), the maximum number of vertices in bipartite regular graph of valency k whose second largest eigenvalue is at most θ. Our results extend previous work from [9,18,19,24,29]. Our general bound for b(k, θ) is attained whenever there exists a bipartite distance-regular graph of valency k, second largest eigenvalue θ, girth g and diameter d with g ≥ 2d − 2.…”

“…The lower bound in Theorem 1.1 will be proved by bounding |N (S)| from below for an arbitrary S ⊆ V with 1 ≤ |S| ≤ |V | 2 . Let X = S ∩ P and Y = S ∩ B, and let x, y, x ′ , and y ′ be defined as in (14). Then |S| = x + y and |N (S)| = x ′ + y ′ .…”

“…Let S be an arbitrary subset of V with 1 ≤ |S| ≤ |V | 2 , and let X = S ∩ P and Y = S ∩ B. Let x, y, x ′ , and y ′ be defined as in (14). In view of (1), the parameters of U are (v, b, r, k, λ) = (n 3 + 1, n 4 − n 3 + n 2 , n 4 − n 3 , n 3 − n, n 4 − n 3 − n 2 + 1).…”
