โฆ Synopsis
If G is a graph, its Laplacian is the difference of the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and its adjacency matrix. The main thrust of the present article is to prove several Laplacian eigenvector "principles" which in certain cases can be used to deduce the effect on the spectrum of contracting, adding or deleting edges and/or of coalescing vertices. One application is the construction of two isospectral graphs on 11 vertices having different degree sequences, only one of which is bipartite, and only one of which is decomposable.

A graph is Laplacian integral if the spectrum of its Laplacian matrix consists entirely of integers. We consider the class of constructably Laplacian integral graphs -those graphs that be constructed from an empty graph by adding a sequence of edges in such a way that each time a new edge is added,
