Abstract We consider a particular class of signed threshold graphs and their eigenvalues. If Ġ is such a threshold graph and Q(Ġ ) is a quotient matrix that arises from the equitable partition of Ġ , then we use a sequence of elementary matrix operations to prove that the matrix Q(Ġ ) – xI (x ∈ ℝ) is row equivalent to a tridiagonal matrix whose determinant is, under certain conditions, of the constant sign. In this way we determine certain intervals in which Ġ has no eigenvalues.

An equitable partition of a graph G is a partition of the vertex set of G such that the sizes of any two parts differ by at most one. The strong equitable vertexk-arboricity of G, denoted by vak≡(G), is the smallest integer t such that G can be equitably partitioned into t′ induced forests for every t′≥t, where the maximum degree of each induced forest is at most k. In this paper, we provide a general upper bound for va2≡(Kn,n). Exact values are obtained in some special cases.

The $(n,k)$-arrangement graph $A(n,k)$ is a graph with all the $k$-permutations of an $n$-element set as vertices where two $k$-permutations are adjacent if they agree in exactly $k-1$ positions. We introduce a cyclic decomposition for $k$-permutations and show that this gives rise to a very fine equitable partition of $A(n,k)$. This equitable partition can be employed to compute the complete set of eigenvalues (of the adjacency matrix) of $A(n,k)$. Consequently, we determine the eigenvalues of $A(n,k)$ for small values of $k$. Finally, we show that any eigenvalue of the Johnson graph $J(n,k)$ is an eigenvalue of $A(n,k)$ and that $-k$ is the smallest eigenvalue of $A(n,k)$ with multiplicity ${\cal O}(n^k)$ for fixed $k$.

The antiregular connected graph on r vertices is defined as the connected graph whose vertex degrees take the values of r−1 distinct positive integers. We explore the spectrum of its adjacency matrix and show common properties with those of connected threshold graphs, having an equitable partition with a minimal number r of parts. Structural and combinatorial properties can be deduced for related classes of graphs and in particular for the minimal configurations in the class of singular graphs.
