    Let GG be a simple graph with vertex set V(G)={v1,v2,⋯ ,vn}V(G) = \{v_1 ,v_2 ,\cdots ,v_n\}. The Harary matrix RD(G)RD(G) of GG, which is initially called the reciprocal distance matrix, is an n×nn \times n matrix whose (i,j)(i,j)-entry is equal to 1dij\frac{1}{d_{ij}} if i≠ji\not=j and 00 otherwise, where dijd_{ij} is the distance of viv_i and vjv_j in GG. In this paper, we characterize graphs with maximum spectral radius of Harary matrix in three classes of simple connected graphs with nn vertices: graphs with fixed matching number, bipartite graphs with fixed matching number, and graphs with given number of cut edges, respectively.Comment: 12 page

    Graphs with many valencies and few eigenvalues

    Full text link
    Dom de Caen posed the question whether connected graphs with three distinct eigenvalues have at most three distinct valencies. We do not answer this question, but instead construct connected graphs with four and five distinct eigenvalues and arbitrarily many distinct valencies. The graphs with four distinct eigenvalues come from regular two-graphs. As a side result, we characterize the disconnected graphs and the graphs with three distinct eigenvalues in the switching class of a regular two-graph
