On the spectra of hypertrees

摘要

In this paper, we study the spectral properties of a family of trees characterized by two main features: they are spanning subgraphs of the hypercube, and their vertices bear a high degree of (connectedness) hierarchy. Such structures are here called binary hypertrees and they can be recursively defined as the so-called hierarchical product of several complete graphs on two vertices. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
