Talk:Algebraic connectivity

Values of the algebraic connectivity in actual networks[edit]

FWIW, here's a table of values for the algebraic connectivity for lots of real networks: http://konect.uni-koblenz.de/statistics/alcon –Jérôme (talk) 08:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bounds for algebraic connectivity[edit]

I am slightly confused by the sentence 'Furthermore, the value of the algebraic connectivity is bounded above by the traditional (vertex) connectivity of the graph'. It purports to be from ^[1] but I can find no such statement on that page. Slight testing in Mathematica reveals it to be false for complete graphs (where vertex connectivity = n - 1, algebraic connectivity = n). Any thoughts? Erik (talk) 08:47, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
