Generation of isospectral graphs. (English) Zbl 0932.05053

Authors’ abstract: We discuss a discrete version of Sunada’s theorem on isospectral manifolds, which allows the generation of isospectral simple graphs, i.e. nonisomorphic simple graphs that have the same Laplace spectrum. We also consider additional boundary conditions and Buser’s transplantation technique applied to a discrete situation.
