Non-Sunada graphs
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 49 (1999) no. 2, pp. 707-725.

We consider the question of whether there is a converse to the Sunada Theorem in the context of k-regular graphs. We give a weak converse to the Sunada Theorem, which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for two graphs to be isospectral in terms of a Sunada-like condition, and show by example that a strong converse does not hold.

Nous considérons la question de l’existence d’une réciproque du théorème de Sunada dans le cadre des graphes k-réguliers. Nous étudions une réciproque faible du théorème de Sunada qui donne une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour que deux graphes soient isospectraux, en termes d’une condition “presque-Sunada”, et proposons un contre-exemple qui montre qu’il n’y a pas de réciproque forte.
