Introduction to Spectral Graph Theory

Abstract. Spectral graph theory merges the classic graph theory with linear algebra. More precisely, we take a look at the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of different matrices that represent graphs and show that certain graph properties are represented in the eigenvalues in a surprising way.

Biography. Barbara Keller and Jara Uitto are PhD students in DISCO at ETH Zürich. Barbara did her master's at ETH about quantum information and Jara did his master's about vision based indoor localization with Petteri Nurmi from HIIT.
