Abstract
For a graph with largest normalized Laplacian eigenvalue lambda and (vertex) coloring number chi, lambda is known to be larger than or equal to chi/(chi-1). We consider properties of graphs for which this bound is sharp, and we study the multiplicity of chi/(chi-1). We also look at the spectrum of the 1-sum (a graph operation) of two graphs, with a focus on the maximal eigenvalue. We consider a generalization of the bound for hypergraphs and consider uniform hypergraphs for which this bound is sharp. Finally, we study a hypergraph operation and its relation to the hypergraph bound.
