| Abstract: | Let G be a graph of order n with an eigenvalue μ≠-1,0 of multiplicity k<n-2. It is known that k≤n+√2-2n+¼, equivalently k≤½t(t-1), where t=n-k>2. The only known examples with k=½t(t-1) are 3K2 (with n=6, μ=1, k=3) and the maximal exceptional graph G36 (with n=36, μ=-2, k=28). We show that no other example can be constructed from a strongly regular graph in the same way as G36 is constructed from the line graph L(K9). |
