A Laplacian eigenbasis for threshold graphs

Let GG be a graph on nn vertices. In this article, we prove that an eigenbasis of the Laplacian matrix of a star graph of order nn is also an eigenbasis of GG if and only if GG is a threshold graph. As an application of this spectral characterization, we show an infinite family of threshold graphs t...

description Let GG be a graph on nn vertices. In this article, we prove that an eigenbasis of the Laplacian matrix of a star graph of order nn is also an eigenbasis of GG if and only if GG is a threshold graph. As an application of this spectral characterization, we show an infinite family of threshold graphs that are weakly Hadamard diagonalizable.
