VERY GOOD: This book is in very good condition, showing only the slightest signs of use and wear.
Product Details
This is Number 75 in theLondon Mathematics Society Student Texts series from Cambridge University Press.
Continued from the back cover: "The spectra examined here are those of the adjacency matrix, the Seidel matrix, the Laplacian, the normalized Laplacian and the signless Laplacian of a finite simple graph. The underlying theme of the book is the relation between the eigenvalues and structure of a graph.
"Designed as an introductory text for graduate students, or anyone using the theory of graph spectra, this self-contained treatment assumes only a little knowledge of graph theory and linear algebra. The authors include many new developments in the field that arise as a result of rapidly expanding interest in the area. exercises, spectral data and proofs of required results are also provided. The end-of-chapter notes serve as a practical guide to the extensive bibliography of over 500 items."
