A Cvetkovic-type Theorem for coloring of digraphs

扫码查看
In 1972, Cvetkovic proved that if G is an n-vertex simple graph with the chromatic number k, then its spectral radius is at most the spectral radius of the n-vertex balanced complete k-partite graph. In this paper, we analyze the characteristic polynomial of a digraph D to prove a tight upper bound for the spectral radius of D in terms of the number of vertices and the chromatic number of D; we also characterize when equality holds. This provides a simple proof of a result by Lin and Shu [6]. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
