The correspondent color partition of vertices is called equitable. We note that a number of bounds (Hoffman bound, Cheeger bound, Bierbrauer--Friedman bound and other) is only reached on perfect $2$-colorings. We show that the Expander Mixing Lemma is another example of an inequality that generates a perfect $2$-coloring. We prove a new upper bound for the size of $S\\subset V(G)$ with the fixed average internal degree for an amply regular graph $G$. This bound is reached on the set $S$ if and only if $\\{S, V(G)\\setminus S\\}$ is an equitable partition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-07T09:16:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35", "05B30", "05E30" ], "keywords": [ "extremal properties", "correspondent color partition", "fixed average internal degree", "hoffman bound", "bierbrauer-friedman bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
