In spectral graph theory, a Ramanujan graph, named after Srinivasa Ramanujan, is a regular graph whose spectral gap is almost as large as possible (see extremal graph theory). Such graphs are excellent spectral expanders. Examples of Ramanujan graphs include the clique, the biclique , and the Petersen graph. As (Murty's survey paper ) notes, Ramanujan graphs "fuse diverse branches of pure mathematics, namely, number theory, representation theory, and algebraic geometry". As observed by Toshikazu Sunada, a regular graph is Ramanujan if and only if its Ihara zeta function satisfies an analog of the Riemann hypothesis.〔Audrey Terras, ''Zeta Functions of Graphs: A Stroll through the Garden'', volume 128, Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics, Cambridge University Press, (2010).〕 ==Definition== Let be a connected -regular graph with vertices, and let be the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of . Because is connected and -regular, its eigenvalues satisfy . Whenever there exists with , define : A -regular graph is a Ramanujan graph if . A Ramanujan graph is characterized as a regular graph whose Ihara zeta function satisfies an analogue of the Riemann Hypothesis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramanujan graph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
