Integral Graph


IntegralGraphs

An integral graph, not to be confused with an integral embedding of a graph, is defined as a graph whose graph spectrum consists entirely of integers. The notion was first introduced by Harary and Schwenk (1974). The numbers of simple integral graphs on n=1, 2, ... nodes are 0, 2, 3, 6, 10, 20, 33, 71, ... (OEIS A077027), illustrated above for small n.

IntegralConnectedGraphs

The numbers of connected simple integral graphs on n=1, 2, ... nodes are 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 22, 24, 83, ... (OEIS A064731), illustrated above for small n.

The following table lists common graph classes and the their members which are integral.

The following table lists some special named graphs that are integral and gives their spectra.
