    Algebraic connectivity and degree sequences of trees
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2009-01-15) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    We investigate the structure of trees that have minimal algebraic connectivity among all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that such trees are caterpillars and that the vertex degrees are non-decreasing on every path on non-pendant vertices starting at the characteristic set of the Fiedler vector.

    Graphs with given degree sequence and maximal spectral radius
    (Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2008-09-15) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    We describe the structure of those graphs that have largest spectral radius in the class of all connected graphs with a given degree sequence. We show that in such a graph the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of the vertices induced by breadth-first search. For trees the resulting structure is uniquely determined up to isomorphism. We also show that the largest spectral radius in such classes of trees is strictly monotone with respect to majorization.

    Graphs of given order and size and minimum algebraic connectivity
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2012-04-01) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    The structure of connected graphs of given size and order that have minimal algebraic connectivity is investigated. It is shown that they must consist of a chain of cliques. Moreover, an upper bound for the number of maximal cliques of size 2 or larger is derived.

    Some notes on spectra of cographs
    (Charles Babbage Res Ctr, 2011-07) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Simic, Slobodan K.; Stanic, Zoran
    A cograph is a P-4-free graph. We first give a short proof of the fact that 0 (-1) belongs to the spectrum of a connected cograph (with at least two vertices) if and only if it contains duplicate (resp. coduplicate) vertices. As a consequence, we next prove that the polynomial reconstruction of graphs whose vertex-deleted subgraphs have the second largest eigenvalue not exceeding root 5-1/2 is unique.

    Semiregular trees with minimal Laplacian spectral radius
    (Elsevier Inc, 2010-04-15) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef
    A semiregular tree is a tree where all non-pendant vertices have the same degree. Among all semiregular trees with fixed order and degree, a graph with minimal (adjacency/Laplacian) spectral radius is a caterpillar. Counter examples show that the result cannot be generalized to the class of trees with a given (non-constant) degree sequence.

    Laplacian eigenvectors of graphs: Perron-Frobenius and Faber-Krahn type theorems
    (Springer Verlag, 2007) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef; Stadler, Peter F.
    Eigenvectors of graph Laplacians have not, to date, been the subject of expository articles and thus they may seem a surprising topic for a book. The authors propose two motivations for this new LNM volume: (1) There are fascinating subtle differences between the properties of solutions of Schrödinger equations on manifolds on the one hand, and their discrete analogs on graphs. (2) “Geometric” properties of (cost) functions defined on the vertex sets of graphs are of practical interest for heuristic optimization algorithms. The observation that the cost functions of quite a few of the well-studied combinatorial optimization problems are eigenvectors of associated graph Laplacians has prompted the investigation of such eigenvectors. The volume investigates the structure of eigenvectors and looks at the number of their sign graphs (“nodal domains”), Perron components, graphs with extremal properties with respect to eigenvectors. The Rayleigh quotient and rearrangement of graphs form the main methodology.

    Largest eigenvalues of the discrete p-Laplacian of trees with degree sequences
    (Int Linear Algebra Soc, 2009-03) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Hellmuth, Marc; Leydold, Josef
    Trees that have greatest maximum p-Laplacian eigenvalue among all trees with a given degree sequence are characterized. It is shown that such extremal trees can be obtained by breadth-first search where the vertex degrees are non-increasing. These trees are uniquely determined up to isomorphism. Moreover, their structure does not depend on p.
