Let $\\mathcal{L}(G)$ be the normalized Laplacian matrix of $G$ and $\\rho_{n-1}(G)$ be the second least eigenvalue of $\\mathcal{L}(G)$. Denote by $\\nu(G)$ the independence number of $G$. Recently, the paper [Characterization of graphs with some normalized Laplacian eigenvalue of multiplicity $n-3$, arXiv:1912.13227] discussed the graphs with some normalized Laplacian eigenvalue of multiplicity $n-3$. However, there is one remaining case (graphs with $\\rho_{n-1}(G)\\neq 1$ and $\\nu(G)= 2$) not considered. In this paper, we focus on cographs and graphs with diameter 3 to investigate the graphs with some normalized Laplacian eigenvalue of multiplicity $n-3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-23T08:16:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50" ], "keywords": [ "normalized laplacian eigenvalue", "extremal multiplicity", "connected simple graph", "independence number", "normalized laplacian matrix" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
