A Universal upper bound on Graph Diameter based on Laplacian Eigenvalues

arXiv:1212.2701

Abstract

We prove that the diameter of any unweighted connected graph G is O(k log n/lambda_k), for any k>= 2. Here, lambda_k is the k smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian of G. This solves a problem posed by Gil Kalai.
