Tóm tắt

Given a real symmetric matrix A whose graph is a tree T and its eigenvalues, vertices in T can be classified in three categories, based upon the change in multiplicity of a particular eigenvalue, when the vertex is removed. We investigate the change in multiplicity of an eigenvalue based upon changes in edge values around a classified vertex. Then, we observe that a 2-Parter edge, a Parter edge, and a downer edge are located separately from each other in a tree, and there is a neutral edge between them. Especially, we show that the distance between a downer edge and a 2-Parter edge or a Parter edge is at least 2. We also consider some relations between a downer edge and the value on a downer vertex.
