Suppose thatΠ=Cay(Zn,Ω)andΛ=Cay(Zn,Ψm)are two Cayley graphs on the cyclic additive groupZn, wherenis an even integer,m=n/2+1,Ω=t∈Zn∣t  is  odd, andΨm=Ω∪{n/2}are the inverse-closed subsets ofZn-0. In this paper, it is shown thatΠis a distance-transitive graph, and, by this fact, we determine the adjacency matrix spectrum ofΠ.

Adjacency Matrix Spectrum

Abstract The paper presents a novel spectral algorithm EVSA (eigenvector structure analysis), which uses eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix in order to discover clusters. Based on matrix perturbation theory and properties of graph spectra we show that the adjacency matrix can be more suitable for partitioning than other Laplacian matrices. The main problem concerning the use of the adjacency matrix is the selection of the appropriate eigenvectors. We thus propose an approach based on analysis of the adjacency matrix spectrum and eigenvector pairwise correlations. Formulated rules and heuristics allow choosing the right eigenvectors representing clusters, i.e., automatically establishing the number of groups. The algorithm requires only one parameter-the number of nearest neighbors. Unlike many other spectral methods, our solution does not need an additional clustering algorithm for final partitioning. We evaluate the proposed approach using real-world datasets of different sizes. Its performance is competitive to other both standard and new solutions, which require the number of clusters to be given as an input parameter.

Dirichlet Convolution

There exist several generalizations of the classical Dirichlet convolution, for instance the so-called A-convolutions analyzed by Narkiewicz. We shall connect the concept of A-convolutions satisfying a weak form of regularity and Ramanujan sums with the spectrum of integral circulant graphs. These generalized Cayley graphs, having circulant adjacency matrix and integral eigenvalues, comprise a great amount of arithmetical features. By use of our concept we obtain a multiplicative decomposition of the so-called energy of integral circulant graphs with multiplicative divisor sets. This will be fundamental for the study of open problems, in particular concerning the detection of integral circulant graphs with maximal or minimal energy.

Abstract Does every $n$-vertex Cayley graph have an orthonormal eigenbasis all of whose coordinates are $O(1/\sqrt{n})$? While the answer is yes for abelian groups, we show that it is no in general. On the other hand, we show that every $n$-vertex Cayley graph (and more generally, vertex-transitive graph) has an orthonormal basis whose coordinates are all $O(\sqrt{\log n / n})$, and that this bound is nearly best possible. Our investigation is motivated by a question of Assaf Naor, who proved that random abelian Cayley graphs are small-set expanders, extending a classic result of Alon–Roichman. His proof relies on the existence of a bounded eigenbasis for abelian Cayley graphs, which we now know cannot hold for general groups. On the other hand, we navigate around this obstruction and extend Naor’s result to nonabelian groups.

The energy of a graph is the sum of the moduli of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We study the energy of integral circulant graphs, also called gcd graphs. Such a graph can be characterized by its vertex count n and a set D of divisors of n such that its vertex set is Zn and its edge set is {{a,b} : a, b ? Zn; gcd(a-b, n)? D}. For an integral circulant graph on ps vertices, where p is a prime, we derive a closed formula for its energy in terms of n and D. Moreover, we study minimal and maximal energies for fixed ps and varying divisor sets D.

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A$. The transition matrix of $G$ relative to $A$ is defined by $H(t):=\exp{\left(-itA\right)}$, where $t\in {\mathbb R}$. The graph $G$ is said to admit pretty good state transfer between a pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ if there exists a sequence of real numbers $\{t_k\}$ and a complex number $\gamma$ of unit modulus such that $\lim\limits_{k\rightarrow\infty} H(t_k) e_u=\gamma e_v.$ We find that the cycle $C_n$ as well as its complement $\overline{C}_n$ admit pretty good state transfer if and only if $n$ is a power of two, and it occurs between every pair of antipodal vertices. In addition, we look for pretty good state transfer in more general circulant graphs. We prove that union (edge disjoint) of an integral circulant graph with a cycle, each on $2^k$ $(k\geq 3)$ vertices, admits pretty good state transfer. The complement of such union also admits pretty good state transfer. Using Cartesian products, we find some non-circulant graphs admitting pretty good state transfer.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite, additive group, $S \subseteq \Gamma, 0\notin S, -S=\{-s: s\in S\}=S$. The undirected Cayley graph Cay$(\Gamma,S)$ has vertex set $\Gamma$ and edge set $\{\{a,b\}: a,b\in \Gamma$, $a-b \in S\}$. A graph is called integral, if all of its eigenvalues are integers. For an abelian group $\Gamma$ we show that Cay$(\Gamma,S)$ is integral, if $S$ belongs to the Boolean algebra $B(\Gamma)$ generated by the subgroups of $\Gamma$. The converse is proven for cyclic groups. A finite group $\Gamma$ is called Cayley integral, if every undirected Cayley graph over $\Gamma$ is integral. We determine all abelian Cayley integral groups.

A generalized Bethe tree is a rooted tree for which the vertices in each level having equal degree. Let Bk be a generalized Bethe tree of k level, and let T r be a connected transitive graph on r vertices. Then we obtain a graph Bk?T r from r copies of Bk and T r by appending r roots to the vertices of T r respectively. In this paper, we give a simple way to characterize the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A(Bk ? T r) and the Laplacian matrix L(Bk?T r) of Bk?T r by means of symmetric tridiagonal matrices of order k. We also present some structure properties of the Perron vectors of A(Bk?T r) and the Fiedler vectors of L(Bk ? T r). In addition, we obtain some results on transitive graphs.

The concept of energy of a graph was first defined in 1978 by Gutman as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Let λ1, λ2, …, λn be eigenvalues of graph Γ, then the Estrada index of Γ is defined as [Formula: see text]. The aim of this paper is to estimate the energy and Estrada index of Cayley graphs Cay (G, S) where G ≅ D2n, U6n and S is a normal symmetric generating subset of G.

A connected $\rho$-regular graph $G$ has largest eigenvalue $\rho$ in modulus. $G$ is called Ramanujan if it has at least $3$ vertices and the second largest modulus of its eigenvalues is at most $2\sqrt{\rho-1}$. In 2010 Droll classified all Ramanujan unitary Cayley graphs. These graphs of type ${\rm ICG}(n,\{1\})$ form a subset of the class of integral circulant graphs ${\rm ICG}(n,{\cal D})$, which can be characterised by their order $n$ and a set $\cal D$ of positive divisors of $n$ in such a way that they have vertex set $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ and edge set $\{(a,b):\, a,b\in\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} ,\, \gcd(a-b,n)\in {\cal D}\}$. We extend Droll's result by drawing up a complete list of all graphs ${\rm ICG}(p^s,{\cal D})$ having the Ramanujan property for each prime power $p^s$ and arbitrary divisor set ${\cal D}$.

By a suitable representation in the Euclidean plane, each circulant graph $G$, i.e. a graph with a circulant adjacency matrix ${\mathcal A}(G)$, reveals its rotational symmetry and, as the drawing's most notable feature, a central hole, the so-called \emph{geometric kernel} of $G$. Every integral circulant graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, i.e. satisfying the additional property that all of the eigenvalues of ${\mathcal A}(G)$ are integral, is isomorphic to some graph $\mathrm{ICG}(n,\mathcal{D})$ having vertex set $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ and edge set $\{\{a,b\}:\, a,b\in\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} ,\, \gcd(a-b,n)\in \mathcal{D}\}$ for a uniquely determined set $\mathcal{D}$ of positive divisors of $n$. A lot of recent research has revolved around the interrelation between graph-theoretical, algebraic and arithmetic properties of such graphs. In this article we examine arithmetic implications imposed on $n$ by a geometric feature, namely the size of the geometric kernel of $\mathrm{ICG}(n,\mathcal{D})$.
