As known, the scalar Laplacian gives the celebrated Laplacian matrix of a graph. In this paper, we determine the graph matrix presentation of vector Laplacian (or Helmholtz operator), named as Helmholtzian matrix. To compare the difference and similarity with previous graph matrices, we study the limit points of spectral radius and characterize the connected graphs with spectral radius at most 4.38+ via Helmholtzian matrix. Finally, we discuss the potential applications of Helmholtzian spectra of graphs in the simplicial networks and small-world networks.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of recent research results that are checked and recommended for publication by a member of the Editorial Board. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal.
Potential authors are advised to view the journal and the open calls-for-papers of special issues before submitting their manuscripts. Only high-quality, original work that is within the scope of the journal or the targeted special issue will be considered.
