    Four-cycled graphs with topological applications
    (Birkhauser Verlag AG, 2012-03) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Civan, Yusuf
    We call a simple graph G a 4-cycled graph if either it has no edges or every edge of it is contained in an induced 4-cycle of G. Our interest on 4-cycled graphs is motivated by the fact that their clique complexes play an important role in the simple-homotopy theory of simplicial complexes. We prove that the minimal simple models within the category of flag simplicial complexes are exactly the clique complexes of some 4-cycled graphs. We further provide structural properties of 4-cycled graphs and describe constructions yielding such graphs. We characterize 4-cycled cographs, and 4-cycled graphs arising from finite chessboards. We introduce a family of inductively constructed graphs, the external extensions, related to an arbitrary graph, and determine the homotopy type of the independence complexes of external extensions of some graphs.

    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.

    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.
