Abstract
In this paper we prove that for a simple graph G without isolated vertices 0 < Ξ»~2~(G) < 1/3 if and only if G β KΜ~nβ3~ V (K~1~ βͺ K~2~), the graph obtained by joining each vertex of KΜ~nβ3~ to each vertex of K~1~ βͺ K~2~). Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A graph is called of type k if it is connected, regular, and has k distinct eigenvalues. For example graphs of type 2 are the complete graphs, while those of type 3 are the strongly regular graphs. We prove that for any positive integer n, every graph can be embedded in n cospectral, non-isomorphic
We investigate the maximality properties of the second periodic eigenvalue of the Hill's operator. The potential function is normalized so that its average over a period is zero. Apart from its own significance, this question is related to the study of the motion-by-curvature equation. 1996 Academi
An asteroidal triple is a stable set of three vertices such that each pair is connected by a path avoiding the neighborhood of the third vertex. Asteroidal triples play a central role in a classical characterization of interval graphs by Lekkerkerker and Boland. Their result says that a chordal grap
## Abstract A path graph is the intersection graph of subpaths of a tree. In 1970, Renz asked for a characterization of path graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We answer this question by determining the complete list of graphs that are not path graphs and are minimal with this property. Β© 2009
