Abstract:

Firstly, a class of graphs called thresholdlike graphs is defined. Then, combined with algorithm, the generalized characteristic polynomial (i.e., Φ-spectrum) of such graphs is obtained. The Φ-characteristic polynomial and its spectrum of a class of threshold graphs are derived. As an application, some infinite classes of Φ-cospectra have also been constructed.

Key words: threshold graph, generalized characteristic polynomial, Φ-cospectral
