\( A_\alpha\)-spectral characterizations of some joins (Q2228188)

Summary: Let \(G\) be a graph with \(n\) vertices. For every real \(\alpha\in [ 0,1]\), write \(A_\alpha (G)\) for the matrix \(A_\alpha (G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha) A(G)\), where \(A(G)\) and \(D(G)\) denote the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix of \(G\), respectively. The collection of eigenvalues of \(A_\alpha (G)\) together with multiplicities are called the \(A_\alpha\)-spectrum of \(G\). A graph \(G\) is said to be determined by its \(A_\alpha\)-spectrum if all graphs having the same \(A_\alpha\)-spectrum as \(G\) are isomorphic to \(G\). In this paper, we show that some joins are determined by their \(A_\alpha\)-spectra for \(\alpha\in (0,1/2)\) or \((1/2,t1)\).
