Some integer values in the spectra of burnt pancake graphs

Saúl A. Blanco, Charles Buehrle

Abstract

The burnt pancake graph, denoted by $\mathbb{BP}_n$, is formed by connecting signed permutations via prefix reversals. Here, we discuss some spectral properties of $\mathbb{BP}_n$. More precisely, we prove that the adjacency spectrum of $\mathbb{BP}_n$ contains all integer values in the set $\{0, 1, \ldots, n\}\setminus\{\left\lfloor n/2 \right\rfloor\}$.
