摘要
Let G be a connected cubic graph of order n with mu as an eigen-value of multiplicity k. We show that (i) if mu is not an element of {-1,0} then k <= 1/2n, with equality if and only if mu = 1 and G is the Petersen graph; (ii) if mu = -1 then k <= 1/2n + 1 with equality if and only if G = K-4; (iii) if mu = 0 then k <= 1/2n + 1 with equality if and only if G = (2K(3)) over bar.
