Spectral Graph Theory

by Fan Chung

Beautifully written and elegantly presented, this book is based on 10 lectures given at the CBMS workshop on spectral graph theory in June 1994 at Fresno State University. Chung's well-written exposition can be likened to a conversation with a good teacher--one who not only gives you the facts, but tells you what is really going on, why it is worth doing, and how it is related to familiar ideas in other areas. The monograph is accessible to the nonexpert who is interested in reading about this evolving area of mathematics.

Very nice and fairly comprehensive.

Spectral graph theory became fairly popular in theoretical computer science in the early 2000s, but I haven't followed since. I wonder if people are still working hard on this?

Chock full o' good info, but approximately as dense as neutronium.
