Max k-cut and the smallest eigenvalue
Abstract
Let G be a graph of order n and size m, and let mck(G) be the maximum size of a k-cut of G. It is shown that mck(G)≤k-1/k(m-μmin(G)n/2), where μmin(G) is the smallest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G. An infinite class of graphs forcing equality in this bound is constructed.
