Explain why the spectrum of a graph is independent of vertex labeling.

What will be an ideal response?


When we change the vertex labeling, i.e., when we permute the vertex labels, the new adja-
cency matrix can be written in the form Anew = P?1AP, where P is a permutation matrix and
A is old adjacency matrix. Therefore, the new adjacency matrix is similar to the old one.
Hence, the eigenvalues of the matrix does not change.
