Abstract:
We study the least doubling constant \(C_G\) among all possible doubling measures defined on a graph \(G\). In particular, for a path graph \(G=L_n\), we show that \(1+2\cos(\frac{\pi}{n+1})\leq C_{L_n}<3\), with equality on the lower bound if and only if \(n\le8\).
We then prove that \(C_G\), for a general graph \(G\), can be estimated from below by \( 1+ r(A_G) \), where \(r(A_G) \) is the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of \(G\), and study when both quantities coincide.
Finally, we give a complete characterization of graphs with doubling constant smaller than 3, in the spirit of Smith graphs.
