Eigenvalues of oriented-graph matrices (Q1893108): Difference between revisions

The author proves a few theorems concerning eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of digraphs. For instance, if the adjacency matrix \(M\) of a digraph of order at least three is irreducible, then \(M\) has at least three distinct eigenvalues, and \(M\) has precisely three eigenvalues if and only if the digraph is an Hadamard tournament. This generalizes a result of \textit{N. Zagaglia Salvi} [Rend. Semin. Mat. Brescia 7, 635-643 (1984; Zbl 0549.05030)].
